Random Laws

Carrying a bomb in any building should be a crime but just stating this one does make sure it doesn't happen. Plus this building has to be the most targeted anyway since it is so important.
The penalty for jumping off a building is death.
Location: United states NY
How tall does the building have to be for the law to take effect? I mean does it have to be high enough where it would kill you anyway? I guess it doesn't matter cause if someone wants to die so they jump off a building but survive....They still get there wish by the government killing them.
One may not pee in his neighbor's mouth.

This helps present the spread of germs and disease but why even mention it. You know if they thought of this law someone had to do it before.

Can I see some ID
It amazes me that the man would actually ask the man for id even though he was being robbed at gunpoint. Then add the fact that the man handed over his id. Real insane how people can be so stupid. Anyway the criminal himself is the best part of this story I say. It was an everyday robbery and he made a complete idiot out of himself. better find a different day job cause robbing is definately what he is not good at.

Turkey
Sounds harsh towards the woman in this country. The woman is being treated as if she were a child. She has to ask if she can get a job and everything goes to the husband anyway. I am all for equal rights and this law is a terrible thing. I understand it being in the old times but seeing it has lasted for lonf long is nuts.

Ireland 1736
For this time period you can see the understandings. The world was a different place back then and everyone was paranoid and supersticious. Prison for a whole year seems harsh but its better then death and you see in the majority of the films on such a topic.

Swear in Michigan
You may not swear in front of women and children in the state of Michigan. This law only sounds stupid because you know there is no way that it can't be broken. Not to mention the fact that its in Michigan. One of the worst states that has the highest crime rate. I can't imagine how many times people swear in front of woman and chidren. Also the fact that woman and children swear themselves. I do not see this law working at all. Maybe in the old times but not now. Its probably a law that not one even gets in trouble for since there are more problems in the world that are worse then that one.

Indy Liquor
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
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
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.
