Apparently driving around naked and covered in corn oil is illegal in Kansas City
 

We all know our states and counties and towns all have stupid laws. So, what laws of sheer stupidity and inanity do your communities and states still have on their law books?

We used to not open liquor stores on Sunday. But we can now.

However, we can not sell liquor in any stores APART from liquor stores. Like, I go to other states and they sell liquor in the grocery store. Here, this is outlawed unless you have special permits. Very few stores have them, and I've never seen a GROCERY store selling booze here. This law is only a few decades old. I was around when they sold beer in grocery stores.

In Ohio you can hit an animal with your vehicle and take it home to eat so long as you notify the local authorities >.>
It's also considered a crime if your car slides on the ice.

From Colorado:

* One may not mutilate a rock in a state park.

* Car dealers may not show cars on a Sunday.

* It is illegal for liquor stores to sell food or grocery stores to sell any alcohol except beer that is at most 3.2% alcohol.

* No liquor may be sold on Sundays or election days.

* It is illegal to ride a horse while under the influence.

* Throwing missiles at cars is illegal. (Alamosa) - This one sounds really bad, but 'missiles' are just projectiles)

* Keeping a house where unmarried persons are allowed to have sex is prohibited. (Alamosa)

* To own a dog over three months of age, one must obtain a license. (Alamosa)

* Establishments which sell alcohol must have enough lighting to read text inside them. (Arvada)

* It is permissible to wear a holstered six-gun within city limits, except on Sunday, Election Day, or holidays. (Colorado Springs)

* It is illegal to bring your horse or pack mule above the ground floor of any building. (Cripple Creek)

* The dog catcher must notify dogs of impounding by posting, for three consecutive days, a notice on a tree in the city park and along a public road running through said park. (Denver)

* It is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor. (Denver)

* You may not drive a black car on Sundays. (Denver)

* It is illegal to mistreat rats in Denver, Colorado. (Denver)

* Residents may not own chickens, but may own up to three turkeys. (Louisville)

* It is illegal to let a dandelion grow within the city limits. (Pueblo)


There ya go.

It's illegal to get drunk and high, then hold a guy (who forced himself onto your girlfriend at a party a few nights earlier) at gunpoint while he watches his friends run away, then proceed to pistol whip him until he cries, in a forest park in the dead of a Friday night, with an ounce of chronic in your car parked a block away, at 19 years of age. I was only there. Not directly involved but I did get taken in for questioning, which sucked because I was hungry.

Whoever comes up with these silly laws needs to lay off the sauce.

Missouri wasting corn oil!

THAT COULD BE GASOLINE! Actually they banned the sales of ethanol at the gas pumps here (pure mix) because kids were drinking it (y helo thar $2 gallon of booze)


Missouri
- In Saco, women are forbidden from wearing hats that might frighten timid persons, children, or animals.
- In St. Louis, it is illegal for an on-duty firefighter to rescue a woman wearing a nightgown. In order to be rescued, a woman must be fully dressed.
- While children may purchase shotguns in Kansas City, they are not allowed to buy toy cap guns.
- In Merryville, women are prohibited from wearing corsets because "The privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male".
-Children can buy shotguns in Kansas City, Missouri...but not toy cap guns.
-In St. Louis, it's illegal to sit on the curb of any city street and drink beer from a bucket.

Same here in Pittsburgh. I always think it's odd to just see alcohol sitting on grocery store shelves when I visit other states. Oh, and in Germany, they had beer in gas stations. Irony!

In Arizona...

hunting camels is prohibited

Any misdemeanor committed while wearing a red mask is considered a felony. (that one I'm curious about testing out)

Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs.

When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses.

You may not have more than two dildos in a house. (my personal favorite)


There are a couple other laws, like you may not refuse a person a class of water, but that is because it's so fucking hot in Phoenix.

I read these in our very own Fresno and as of the last time I was there these laws were still in effect. :tpg:
This one is from Hollywood.
These are from San Francisco
These are from "The City of Angels" (L.A.)

From Oregon:

It is illegal to buy or sell marijuana, but it is legal to smoke it on your own property.

It is illegal to whisper "dirty" things in your lover's ear during sex.

Ice cream may not be eaten on Sundays.

It is against the law for animals to have sex in the city limits.

Women may not wrestle in Salem.

The ones that are in bold only apply to a few cities.

Agh, I think that I would not like that...Must've come before 'Ice Cream Sunday' was coined.

Well at least this stupid law isn't enforced... that I know of.

I bet a lot of people enjoy that marijuana legal loophole though. Especially since marijuana grows so well naturally in the pacific northwest.

That ethanol should be denatured and kill anyone who drinks it :confused: Or at least smell and taste undrinkable. There's a lot of tax on ethanol that isn't denatured, which is why gas stations don't use it.

Stupid Laws from Denmark, let's go, shall we?

Persons may not wear a mask.

No one may start a car while someone is underneath the vehicle.

Attempt to escape from prison is not illegal, however, if one he is caught he is required to serve out the remainder of his term.

Some of them is frankly so stupid that I won't even mention them. I'm not sure wether or not they are shitting me...

In New York, it is illegal to impregnate a duck.

Can't say I'm affected much but I do feel bad for the male ducks.
