Dumb laws in your home state.

Go to the link, look up your state and post some of the stupid and wacky laws your state has.

In Maine:

-Shotguns are required to be taken to church in the event of a Native American attack.

-You may not step out of a plane in flight.

-After January 14th you will be charged a fine for having your Christmas decorations still up.

In georgia, i think anything besides straight missionary is illegal. Not sure how they enforce that. Same with sex toys too.

[Unrepresented]

In California, you can be pulled over repeatedly for not having a front license plate on your car. This is apparently a priority for law enforcement officers.

Every law we really need was already on the books in 1912 so pretty much all of them passed since then are dumb.

Can't pump gas in New Jersey, except on Military Bases.

And you can't eat ice cream in Newark after 6 PM without a note from a doctor.

Time to amend this one, I think.

Do they issue "ugly" cards to people?

I plead the 5th.

I believe the State of Oregon has the same law.

[Papazita]

Wow, they really stretch the truth on some of these, to the point of dishonesty!

I stated one from Ohio about it being illegal "to mistreat anything of great importance;" but that's just the website's summary of this.

Chapter 29: Miscellaneous Offenses
Section 2927.11

That's so lame. I can vaguely remember one mom&pop style gas station when I was a kid that had full service pumps. Other then that everything else is totally self served.

Yep, Oregon and New Jersey are the only two.

It's different... not necessarily lame.

[Jerose]

I searched New York and the only one I was familiar with is the "Can't smoke within 100 feet of the entrance of a building." The others just seem kind of weird.

[The Last Rebel]

It's illegal to possess a "realistic" dildo in Dallas. It's also illegal to own, proclaim to own, or use, six or more dildos across the state. Who knew there were so many laws about dildos?

[jazzy grille]

"One may not commit any “unnatural acts” with another person."

I am so frickin screwed.

amazing stuff here

[warwick.hoy]

Virginia Beach Virginia.

It is illegal to use profanity on Atlantic Avenue or the boardwalk.
It is also unlawful to drive by the same place within 30 minutes on Atlantic Avenue.

This is no joke.



Fascists.

The "drive by the same place" law is to curb crusing. It's dumb because it takes way more than 30 minutes to pass by the same place with the amount of cruisers on Atlantic and Pacific,...at least that's how it was 10 years ago,...for all I know it could be a ghost town by now.
