Threads like these are banned. (Weird laws and bans in your region thread)

In New York City, there is a law that states that women can't wear body-fit jeans/pants, but I'm glad so say many women are criminals by that definition and that cops are corrupt. :shock:

Also, I heard that in the UK, Pop-Tarts are banned. I heard this from my UK buddies in my clan in ventrilo, I don't know if they were pulling my leg or not. o_O Can someone confirm this?

And what kind of weird laws or bans that you know of in your region or other regions? Do you follow them?

Somewhere in New Jersey it's illegal to smile unless it's your wedding day or a holiday...DisturbedChild7

There must be a lot of emos. :P

In Mobile Alabama, it's illegal to wear sharp pointy high heels, it's illegal to spit in front of a girl, it's illegal to howl at a girl inside the city limits, it's illegal to stab yourself, it's illegal to drive a vehicle blindfolded, you can't hunt on sunday, you cannot chain your alligator to a firehydrant.

I love living in Mobile!

If im right in England it is illegal to enter the houses of parliament wearing a suit of armor.

Also in England if no toilets are avilable a pregnant women has the right to relive herself anywhere including in a policemans hat.

There is no real crazy laws I can think of in Ireland ... in fact , people have a comical disregard for certain laws.Take for example:

If there is a red light , and its a clear path to the other side of the road ... if you stand there waiting for the green light , people would look at you as if there was something wrong with you.

In Washington, if 2 trains come to a crossing, neither may move until the other has passed:?.Food_Nipple

Someone didn't think that law all the way through...

Did you also know that the word gullible is not in the dictionary? :P

I just Googled for "wierd laws", here are a few:

In Arkansas a man can beat his wife but only once a month.
In Florida, nobody can have sexual relations with a porcupine.
In California women may not operate a motor vehicle while dressed in a robe.

Pretty strange... :?

"You may not pay for a fifty-cent item with only pennies."

But I'm allowed to pay up to a dollar in pennies. :?

"It is illegal to turn right on a red light at any time."

I'm pretty sure this site has these all wrong. >_>

I'm surprised noone thought my, "it's illegal to chain your alligator to a firehydrant" in Mobile, Alabama, was funny. I love livin here, every day is different.1stCommando

I found few strange laws :P

In Australia it's illegal for kids under 18 to buy cigarettes, however it's perfectly fine to smoke them.
Also Australian: It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar.horgen123

That is great. :lol:

I had a book full of various laws, must of them were normal but some of them were pretty funny.

If you explode a nuclear bomb in some town in California, you can be punished by a fine of up to $500

In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

Under the UK's Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don't want him to know, though you don't have to tell him anything you don't mind him knowing.

In San Salvador, drunk drivers can be punished by death before a firing squad.

Not really stupid but common sense:

In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle.

In Pennsylvania it is illegal to sleep on top of your fridge on a certain day of the week.MattUD1

I believe it's Tuesday.

In New York City, there is a law that states that women can't wear body-fit jeans/pants
