Indy Liquor
Location of law: Indiana
It is illegal for a liquor store to sell cold soft drinks.
a liquor store is after all a LIQUOR store so in the sense be specified in selling the product and not soft drinks that can compete with it. Plus on the upside having no soda will limit the minors that come into the store and perhaps getting the idea of stealing or attempting to purchase the liquor.
Liquor stores may not sell milk. Geez....This store can't sell anything can they? Well there is no law against juice being sold inside. Milk being a pure substance that builds strong bones can not be sold in a place where items that kill brain cells are sold? Who knew?

Water Rabbits
Location of Law: Kansas
Prohibits shooting rabbits from a motorboat.
First of all this law sounds out of the question since there are not rabbits in the water. But then you think to yourself....Well you can shoot them on land while sitting in a motorboat. So either way by law you can't in a motor boat on land or water. The reasoning behind it.....no clue. If you were in California you couldn't shoot them in a car. so if your hunters I wouldn't go to these places. haha

Sunshine State
Location of Laws:California
Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses. This should not be a law because it can't always be true for one thing and if it is broken then who pays for it? The sun? I mean the state shouldn't guarantee something that can not be controled by man. Yes there is sunshine but not all the time. Also some people's view on sunshine are different. A sunshine day with rain is not full sunshine because clouds were in the way at some points of the day.
Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship. I can understand the school and church thing because there are children at both places and shouldn't be seen. But a tavern? I do not see the reason behind it. I don't agree with this law anyway because its another thing that can't be controled all the time. Sure pets could be controled and seperated but what about the strays? Are they put to death for such crimes?
Bathhouses are against the law. A bathhouse against the law? Why was it created in the first place then? What about campers who have that one little building for bathing in on theway back home...
It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale. This law is just stupid to be even thought of. Perhaps everyone felt it was unfair that they couldn't shoot one thing while moving in a vehicle so they made a law where you can shoot at something but good luck finding it.
Women may not drive in a house coat. This law is too specified and does not make much sense of why it exists. Why is it specically for woman and why is it specified to house coats. What about the men? Can they wear the coats? Guess so. And what about rain jackets? Are they against the law too? Didn't think so.

Churches and Such
Location of laws: Alabama
It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.
This should be a law in any given state. In fact it should not even be a law because it is so dumb it should be a mental thing where you automatically know not to do it. Like swearing in a church. Its something you know you just don't do.
Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.
I don't understand the reasoning or why this law was passed at one point but I'm sure there has to be a good reason behind it. Maybe playing this game distracted people from going to church. Even though the church and state are seperate things. I don't see a need for this law either way.
It is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
I can see why because it would disrupt the crowd and take away from the reasoning of being there but this law is too specific. If this law was to prevent out bursts in church then the law should have said no fake materials at all on body that can cause laughter. I mean a giant fake nose will draw more attention then a mustache.

Squirt
Location of Law: Louisiana
It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol.
Makes sense. Even though robbing a bank is a crime in the first place. I know at any school having a gun that looks to be real but turning out to be fake is also a crime as well. A kid at my highschool got kicked out for such a thing. He thought he was cool and got into a agruement with some other kid and decided to take it out. Thinking that if its fake there would be no issues over it. Guess again. Anything resembling a real gun can cause fear in others and someone real get hurt either way.

Strange Men
The unassuming town of Greensburg, Pa. (pop. 16,000, just east of Pittsburgh), was the site of two high-profile arrests recently. In July, James, 21, was suspected as the man responsible for several toe-kissing incidents, including one underneath a public library table, when he allegedly kissed the feet of a 12-year-old girl and asked if he could kiss her liver.
The crime seems gross and petty all at the same time. First off going around kissing strangers feet is bad enough but then adding a little girl into the mix is real sickening. What kind of punishment is suitable for this crime? I mean jail time seems to fit but for how long? He technically didn't commit rape or assault.
In September, Robert, 48, who cross-dresses as "Kelly," was charged with trespassing (and suspected of identity theft) after "Kelly" was found outside the girls' locker room at Greensburg Salem High School looking for the cheerleading coach. The 200-pound Robert said he merely wanted her to teach him some cheers. In Robert's apartment, police found cheerleader magazines and uniforms, pompoms, and photos of "Kelly" in cheerleader garb. [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 7-16-04] [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 9-8-04]
This is a story basically on a man with a fetish taking it way too far. Which leaves the conclusion that the man obviously is not married. Considering the wife could take care of the fetish by dressing up for him. Now does he steal the uniforms from girls or buy them from somewhere is the question. The answer could lead or a better situation or worse one for him.

Strangling
Going against the grain of recent court decisions, the federal appeals court in New York ruled in August, 2-1, that when a man died of "autoerotic asphyxiation" (normally, strangling oneself almost to the point of passing out as a way of enhancing pleasure during masturbation, but in some cases, going too far), it was an "accident" rather than a self-inflicted injury. Thus, mom is entitled to death benefits under her son's life insurance policy (but would not have been for a self-inflicted injury). [New York Post, 8-13-04]
Techinically it is a self inflicted injury. It was a accident that he went too far but he knew what he was doing. Its not like he was going insane and decided to choke himself. He was in the right mind set but went to far. This case is hard to argue. For all we know he could have did it on purpose and the mom made up such a tale. I guess I'd have to know more of the background information.

More Money = More problems
Japanese police have made no arrests in connection with a flurry of 400 counterfeit 1,000-yen notes that keep turning up in vending machines in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo; in each one, a real 1,000-yen note is cannibalized to supply a key part of the bogus note. Similarly, in Calgary, Alberta, in July, a man was fined about Cdn$800 for passing a set of counterfeit $20 bills that he made by removing the optical security devices from real $20 bills and inserting them onto his bogus ones (and discarding the remnants of the real bills, believing them then worthless, which police said was not true). [Reuters, 7-27-04] [Calgary Sun, 7-8-04]
Wow, Imagine how much more money he could have made if he kept the actual bills and not thrown them out. The way it sounds for every fake bill he makes he throws a real one away... Where is the profit? Maybe I am just reading it wrong but either way it is still a major crime. Using them in vending machines is clever though. No contact with a person making it easier to get away with.

Photocopy this
the night of Nov. 4, in Rapid City, S.D., two burglary suspects, in separate incidents, left ID behind.They had apparently removed their pants, for different reasons, leaving their wallets. (Evidence suggested that the reason they had removed their pants, after breaking into a law office, was to photocopy their genitals on the office copy machine.) [Rapid City Journal, 11-9-04]
A crime that was technically not worth commiting at all. I mean some do have their reasonings for being poor or what not....but this one was completely pointless. Well anyway first of all after reading the entire story it turns out they were actually arrested for burglary but for the evidence provided the charges were dropped. Guess it helps to be dunce after all.

Rights for Rapists?
North Carolina state Sen. Sam Ellis' bill to change a section of state law that actually gives an enormous right to rapists failed in committee this year, with the result that some rapists may inevitably go free. If a rape victim chooses to carry her baby, and then place it for adoption, state law requires that both parents agree to the adoption in writing, with no exception for babies conceived by rape. Thus, rapists might withhold their consent, thwarting the mother's wishes, unless she agrees not to press charges for the rape. According to a September Raleigh News and Observer story, at least three women have recently been in that situation. [Raleigh News and Observer, 9-6-04; Associated Press, 7-17-04]
I feel that rapists should have NO right or say in what happens with the concieved child. I feel that rapists are one of the worst kind of criminals in the world and should not be given rights over anyone's life. The rapists took advantage of another individual just for pleasure. Why should they have the right to decide how someone's life should be. They already created a situation that should never had happened. A wrong choice could be made all over again. Plus why should the victim be stuck with the child. Its not fair at all in any sense.
