Florida has the longest state constitution in the USA.
There are hundreds of laws that contradict eachother and interfere with a working understanding of the law.
Many of these laws are put forth by lobbyists for large companies and religious organizations.
For example: In Florida, if you have a warrant out for your arrest (which happens if you fail to pay a minor traffic ticket) they have a law that prevents you from reregistering your car.
Another law allows towing companies to take posession of any car with expired plates.
There are still laws on the Florida constitution that criminalize homosexuality and mention God.
There is also a law that allows OJ Simpson to buy millions of dollars worth of property in Florida to avoid paying Nicole's Family their restitution.
Should Florida just rip it up and start over?
