    Apparently this is a law for the state of Alabama! You can also be fined for carrying ice cream in your back pocket here :x

    Anyone else have some ridiculous laws where you live?
     
    Not kinda ridiculous laws we have here. But here's one
    -Pedestrians should use bridges or traffic lights to cross the road because vehicles don't have to stop at zebra crossings until you actually start crossing – quite scary.
    -Public displays of affection are not only frowned on, they may be illegal.
     
    Most ridiculous law where I live is probably a law that you're not allowed to ride a bike near lakes, just in case people fall inside and drown... sad law really.
     
    Apparently my state has a law about pickles.

    "In order for a pickle to officially be considered a pickle, it must bounce."

    You also can't walk backwards after sunset, throw out used razor blades, or bike over 65 mph (104.6 kph).
     
    apparently here there is a law that you cant be drunk and in charge of a cow.

    There is also one that says if anyone knocks on your door and asks to use your toilet you must let them in.

    Which makes a good bit of sense, actually, even though it may be oddly specific to cattle and may not include, say, bison or elephants. The law will seem quaint and irrelevent to most people, but there are many cows and many farmers still in the world, and controlling a large animal can be very difficult. The handler has to remain well aware of the environment and the animal's reactions to it, so naturally one ought to be sober to make the appropriate judgement calls.

    If any person has a puppet show, wire dancing or tumbling act in the state of Indiana and receives money for it, they will be fined $3 under the Act to Prevent Certain Immoral Practices.

    Also

    A person must get a referral from a licensed physician if he or she wishes to see a hypnotist unless the desired procedure is to quit smoking or lose weight.
     
    The law in Connecticut is that only the driver and front seat passenger has to wear a seat belt in a vehicle. Everyone else can legally bounce around the car and fly out the windshield.
     
    dumblaws is a pretty dumb website. For example, the summary of:

    9.36.150 Carrying animals on outside of vehicle. No person driving a motor vehicle shall transport any animal in the back of the vehicle in a space intended for any load on the vehicle on a street unless the space is enclosed or has side and tail walls to a height of at least 46 inches extending vertically from the floor, or the animal is cross tethered to the vehicle, or is protected by a secured container or cage, in a manner which will prevent the animal from being thrown, falling or jumping from the vehicle.

    is:

    No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car.

    What? There is no reference to tying animals to the roof of the vehicle, in fact, tying an animal down in the cargo area is one of the ways of legally carrying an animal outside of the vehicle. And how is that a dumb law? Don't we want to ensure that animals are kept safe if they have to be transported in the cargo bay of a vehicle?

    Big Government. Small Brains. Dumb Laws.

    Wow. Way to keep the American public informed, guys.
     
    Apparently it's against the law in North Carolina to have sex in any other position than missionary... with your curtains drawn open.
     
    This one is mildly confusing..
    You're not allowed to possess, sell or buy marijuana here (Germany), however the pure consumation of it is perfectly legal; I'm unsure if weird law-gic or someone just missed something
    o.o

    They probably want to criminalize the trade of the drug without criminalizing recreational use. Kind of like how in some countries being a prostitute is legal, but buying sex from a prostitute isn't.
     
    Here are a few dumb laws in Washington State:

    The harassing of Bigfoot, Sasquatch or other undiscovered subspecies is a felony punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment.

    X-rays may not be used to fit shoes.

    When two trains come to a crossing, neither shall go until the other has passed.
     
    In my state:

    - Its illegal to drive a camel on a highway
    - In one city Its illegal to lie down on a sidewalk
    - Mothers must have a license to give their daughters perms
    - Its "legal" to hang someone for shooting your dog
    - In one city its illegal to pawn your dentures.

    What state do I live in? (Guess) ;)
