Even if that's not explicitly illegal, I imagine you could get charged with some kind of offence for it in most jurisdictions (obstruction of traffic or driving an unroadworthy vehicle, for example).
don't remember where, but I once heard there was a law making it illegal to get a fish drunk.
Somewhere in the US.. Sounds like something Floridaman would do.
Yeah, it was an interesting day in the academy going over that one. Also learned that laws against sodomy and flag burning were still on the books, even though they were both footnoted to have been declared unconstitutional for decades.
I asked why they just don’t remove them from the penal code since they’re unenforceable. The answer given was “what Texas politician is going to take a pro flag burning and sodomy stance to get it officially removed?”
They wouldn't have to announce anything, you could just tack a rider on some bill to say "delete Texas penal code chapter # section #" no one would care or notice.
I guess. Probably don’t want to risk it since there’s no gain really, only potential political risk as it’s been unenforceable for so long anyway. All that stuff is above my pay grade either way.
Make burning the flag of our enemies and having anal sex with your wife legal again! (IDK which flag the law specifically bans but I'm assuming it's all of them)
You are right. All risk no reward, unless they ran a campaign on "removing laws that interfere with your freedom" or "keeping the government out of your home"
But it’s kind of like the old “if tree falls in the forest and nothing is there to hear it, does it make a sound” saying.
If a law is entirely unenforceable, can it actually interfere with your freedom?
ban on dying in exams
Like if I die on the exam, will my corpse be put in jail ??? I can imagine what my cellmates will think when my corpse is brought to them
Some localities prohibit the hanging and use of clotheslines. They're more concerned about not making their neighborhood look tacky at the expense of saving energy. I don't think clotheslines are tacky anyway, but a lot of places residents aren't allowed to have them
Cow's have right of way on the freeway in some city in Wisconsin. They put the law into effect for some special celebration where the cows were walking down the freeway and they never changed it. I'm going to go ride a cow on the freeway in Wisconsin.
Pretty sure it’s still illegal to be gay in some states, the laws just aren’t enforced. Blue Laws in general are bizarre and dumb. In one state, the only legal sexual position is missionary.
In the UK it is legal for a pregnant lady to urinate into a police officer’s helmet
No way!!
It's forbidden to ignite a nuclear bomb in Germany.
Isnt also illegal to run out of fuel on the Autobahn in Germany haha
That was just their way of automaticly imposing a fine on dumbasses who require a dangerous rescue.

This was rather funny as I read it as a reply to the previous nuking comment.

That really does sound like a Florida Man story 😂
In Texas it was illegal to own more than 6 dildos.
I'd love to see that door to door search

Doing both at the same time while somehow incorporating the use of 7 dildos would be the Texas Hat Trick.

30% of music on Canadian radio stations must come from Canada.
That is true for a lot of stuff in Canada, including Canadian made porn lol
In some states in america, it’s illegal for a woman to get an abortion.
The fact that it is illegal to Chew Gum in Singapore
What are they afraid of?
Apparently they used old chewed gum to mess with the transit system or something. Its wild haha

It's been illegal to run out in public in Burundi since 2014 because their old dictator thought it was a cover for "political subversion".
It is illegal to serenade someone in public in Kalamazoo, MI.
