Dumb Old Laws Thread

[nikokapo]

Old laws (or recent) that are so dumb you didn't even imagine they even existed:

In New York:

A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting.

The penalty for jumping off a building is death.

A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.

In Nebraska:

Persons with gonorrhea may not marry.

Doughnut holes may not be sold.

A man is not allowed to run around with a shaved chest.

Post other stupid laws!

California..

In Los Angeles, a man is legally entitled to beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can't be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife's consent to beat her with a wider strap. Consent should be given prior to the event, as is carefully stipulated

In New Jersey it's illegal to pump your own gas at gas stations.

Here, we still have valid laws that says, as example, that you have to pay toll if you pass a bridge driving a carriage pulled from a mule (yeah, there's so much of them, on our streets, actually ) ..... but, being sincere, i can't post all the stupid laws we have here in Italy, cause the still valid ones are approximatively 3800
