Car problems
Running Low
Unknown
A bevy of thieves thought it would be a wise idea to steal cars from one of those trucks that transport automobiles across the nation. Everything went smoothly until it was realized that each car only contained one gallon of gasoline.
Not too bright. I think that anyone who needs a car that badly should just safe up bus fair.
The Club
Rochester, New York
John Schieman, 37, thought the best time to steal a car would be when its owner was getting out. As his would-be-victim, Robin Van Bortle, 32, was attaching The Club, to her steering wheel, Schieman made his move. Startled, the astute woman reacting by beating Schieman over the head with the antitheft device. The budding criminal was charged with robbery, assault, and grand larceny.
Just a case where perfect timing pays off and he waited alittle too long. This also goes to show the other successful things the club can do. They should show that on their commercials.
Bus Fare
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Two young larcenists in Florida--14 and 15 to be exact--appeared before Judge Larry Seidlin after stealing their twenty-fifth car in just two short years. After the boys were released, they walked out of the courthouse and realized they did not have bus fare for a ride home. Promptly, the duo stole number twenty-six; they crashed the vehicle into a fence less than an hour later.
I see they found what they are good at. I honestly feel that they should get a severe amount of jail time. Yes I know the crime is not a huge one but for two kids who do it over and over again they need to learn their lesson some how and it obviuosly is not working the way they are handling them now.

Ohio
In Ohio, if you ignore an orator on Decoration day to such an extent as to publicly play croquet or pitch horseshoes within one mile of the speaker's stand, you can be fined $25.00.
Women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public.
It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.
It is illegal to get a fish drunk.
The Ohio driver's education manual states that you must honk the horn whenever you pass another car.
Participating or conducting a duel is prohibited.
Breast feeding is not allowed in public.
It is illegal for more than five women to live in a house.
It is illegal to mistreat anything of great importance.
No one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July.
Ohio had many many laws as well and this is just a slight few. I'm quite sure the law about no one being arrested on The 4th of July is the worst law possible. For safety sake mainly. You know how many people could get a way with things and try to leave town before the day was over since they couldn't get arrested. Amazing how this law came about.
Getting afish drunk is also a pretty stupid law. Understandable because the fish could die but why would it become a law. Its not something that would be brought up daily. Like murder and robbery is

Switzerland
Clothes may not be hung to dry on Sunday.
You may not wash your car on a Sunday.
It is considered an offense to mow your lawn on a Sunday, because it causes too much noise.
It is illegal to flush the toilet after 10 P.M. if you live in an apartment.
A man may not relieve himself while standing up, after 10 P.M.
Though it is illegal to produce, store, sell and trade absinth (special alcohol), it is legal to consume it.
It is required that every car with snow tires has to have a sticker on its dashboard which tells that the driver should not drive faster than 160 km/h with these tires. (Repealed 1999)
If you forget you car-keys inside the car and you leave the car open, you will be punished.
This country seems to be a lot like The united Kingdom and all its laws that revolve around petty topics. Switzerland does seem to have many laws regarding Sunday. I noticed that a lot in many of the laws that I look up and write about. I guess it may be because of religion and many people find Sunday to be the day for relaxztion.

Fascinating AND true
Arizona
A company called "Guns For Hire" stages gunfights for Western movies and other events. One day, a middle-aged woman called to inquire if they could kill her husband. She was sentenced to four and a half years.
Cub Tickets
Chicago, IL
Chicago were trying to track down several people without standing arrest warrants when they though of a brilliant idea. They sent all the criminals free tickets to a Cubs game. When the people arrived, they were promptly arrested.
Magic Belts
Ivory Coast
A colonel in the Ivory Coast army bought a magic belt that would supposedly protect him from the bullets. The colonel had the son of the belt's maker fire several bullets at him to test the belt and he died instantly. The murderer is still on the run.
Fingers
Jacksonville, Florida
Two Florida brothers convinced a dentist into letting them chop off his finger. They would claim it was an accident and the three would split the insurance money. The dentist at first agreed, but quickly changed his mind. The brothers became infuriated, held the dentist down and forcibly cut his index finger off. The dentist could no longer practice and collected over one million dollars. When the brothers tried to extort money from the dentist, he reported them to the FBI. They were promptly arrested.
Wrong House
St. Paul, Minnesota
Two masked gunmen burst into a house wearing T-shirts marked police. They tied up a woman and two of her children with duct tape. They demanded to know where a "Joe" was. When the woman said he did not live there, the two said "Oops we have the wrong house." In the back of the house, the woman's other child had called the police. When the men walked outside, they were quickly arrested.

A license is required to purchase a television set.
Wow. They sure do have limitations and restrictions of what they can purcahse how what they must obtain to purchase it before hand. I think its going alittle too far. But what do I know....I do not know the situation over there first hand.
City Laws
Bloemfontein Laws
In the days of aparthed, all people of colour had to be indoors by 9 PM, at which time a siren was sounded.
Even more restrictions and obligations but at least its not in this time and age anymore
Young people wearing bathing suits are prohibited from sitting less than 12 inches apart.
For disease purposes I guess considering the way it is over there. It must have been a law stated in recent history.

Random Laws
It is illegal to bring a bomb or rocket at city council proceedings.
Location: United States, Montana, Billings
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.
Location: United States, Illinois, Champaign
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
A man walked into the corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the money from the cash register. After the cashier put the money in the bag as instructed, the man demanded the bottle of Scotch he saw behind the counter. The cashier refused to hand over the Scotch because he did not believe the man was 21. The robber swore he was, but still the clerk refused. Finally, the robber handed over his ID and proved that he was indeed twenty-one. As soon as he left, the cashier called and gave the police the name and address of the man who had just robbed the store. The suspect was arrested two hours later. Dumblaws.com
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.

All married women must get their husband's permission if they wish to have a job, they must live wherever the husband wishes to reside, and they must forfeit all jointly held assets upon divorce from her husband. (Repealed January 1, 2002)
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.
