Did you know that in Michigan, it is illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant?

Question

What is the weirdest law you have seen?

Answer 1

Good to know....I'll chain him to the bike racks next time. Thanks for the heads up.

Answer 2

Think of the tax dollars wasted on whatever time was spent coming up with that law. Free the Michigan alligators, I say!
This isn't a weird law, but it's certainly outdated. In NY State, you cannot buy liquor before noon on Sunday. I guess this had something to do with people going to church. In these days of refrigerators, where you could store all the beer you want and get drunk as a skunk on Sunday morning with no problem, and considering that Sunday isn't the Sabbath for a lot of people, this is just silly. And it's not like I buy all that much liquor, it's just the principle of the thing, ya know?

Answer 3

I thought that was only in the city limits, anyway the weirdest are good laws that get perverted such as this one
Chutzpah!: A Kansas City, Kan., judge granted Wesley Fitzpatrick a temporary restraining order against a female who he said was stalking him (making him "scared, depressed and in fear for my freedom"). The order was rescinded when the judge found out that the "stalker" was actually Fitzpatrick's parole officer (who said Fitzpatrick had been missing meetings).

Answer 4

Who the heck would feel the least bit compelled to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant?!?

Answer 5

Well the Jim Crow laws were totally weird (and ridiculous!). But as far as current standing laws go........

In Texas, it is illegal to curse in front of, or indecently expose oneself to, a corpse.

In California, animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school or place of worship.

In Connorsville, Wisconsin a man is legally prohibited from shooting a gun while his female partner is having an orgasm.

In Florida, having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.

In California, it is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.

Too fun.....I loved looking these up!!

Answer 6

i guess you don't want any snappy answers my friend,,
but i have a weird one for you that's still law here in the UK..
you are allowed to relieve yourself by peeing on the rear left hand wheel of a taxi in front of anyone even in the middle of town,,
however if you use any other wheel you would be prosecuted and dealt with quite severely..
strange but true (honestly) it has something to do with the oldest form of paid transport like stagecoaches,horse drawn carts and the law has never been changed
I'm sure many people will have more weird laws..
i did hear the penalty for attempted suicide was death by hanging although i have not seen any text to verify this,, maybe someone out there has??
lol

Answer 7

Not as weird, but in Wisconsin, it is now illegal for anyone under 18 to be paid for mowing a lawn. What are kids to do in the summer?

Did the lawn care business lobby shove this through?

Answer 8

It makes sense. For one, a gator could pull a hydrant off. For another, you shouldn't be chaining a gator anywhere in public, it isn't a good move!

Answer 9

i trust Fred suggested what something else people were already wondering. so keep on at the same time with your human being state. After huge study, i have got here upon the following regulations for the state of Oregon: Oregon it really is illegitimate to whisper "dirty" issues on your lover's ear for the time of sex. it really is illegitimate to purchase or promote marijuana, besides the undeniable fact that it really is criminal to smoke it on your human being resources. you gained't pump your human being gas in provider stations. Canned corn isn't for use as bait for fishing. it really is a criminal offense for a wedding ceremony ceremony to be executed at a skating rink. people gained't whistle underwater. Ministers are forbidden from eating garlic or onions previously handing over a sermon. One gained't field with a kangaroo. it really is a criminal offense for animals to have sex in the city limits. no more advantageous than 2 people would percentage a unmarried drink. So go away the aligators on my own..... positioned on your boxing gloves and concentrate on your Kangaroo courts!!! *ahem* that's all I easily ought to assert about that.

Answer 10

Unlawful to use a radar detector in the
"State of Va."
I wonder what rock, so-called lawmakers crawled from
under to come up with something you would normally
put at the bottom of a birdcage ?

Answer 11
