China Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 50 Stupid Laws From 50 States Laws are made to function a seemingly healthy community in a stable and disciplined fashion. However, when some of those laws become increasingly absurd, that you giggle your way through even reading them, one wonders what the law makers were thinking while coming up with such classical dumbness. Here we have gathered for you at least one dumb law from a state each. 1. Alabama Law: You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time. Why would you have an ice cream cone in your back pocket in the first place? 2. Alaska Law: Moose may not be viewed from an airplane. Isn't it highly unlikely for the human eye to view a moose from an airplane? Nevertheless, expect your eyes to be scooped out if you break this law! 3. Arizona Law: It is illegal to manufacture imitation cocaine. Perhaps manufacturing original cocaine is no longer illegal. The creator of this law might just be on crack. 4. Arkansas Law: Dogs may not bark after 6 PM. Taping your dog's mouth for this one might not get you a fine. How can one stop dogs from barking after a specific time? 5. California Law: No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. Do the law makers expect moving vehicles to be without drivers? 6. Colorado Law: It is legal to challenge a police officer, but only until he or she asks you to stop. How can one challenge an officer while on the 'go' is a mystery! This law is against the law of 'motion' in physics for sure! 7. Connecticut Law: It is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset. Walking backwards after sunset may well be a believable myth. Only a complete retard would walk backwards continuously. 8. Delaware Law: Alcohol may not be served in nightclubs if dancing is occurring on the premises at the same time. Intoxication may lead to over enjoyment, which may lead to one dancing, how expression of joy is illegal here, is beyond the logical mind. 9. Florida Law: It is considered an offense to shower naked. This rule really means for one to shower with their clothes on, and if not done so, someone might just barge in the bathroom and fine you stark naked! This is absolutely mind boggling. 10. Georgia Law: Members of the state assembly cannot be ticketed for speeding while the state assembly is in session. Duh! As the members of the state assembly, may not be driving at that time and be sitting in the assembly that is in session. 11. Hawaii Law: All residents may be fined as a result of not owning a boat. So those not-so rich blokes who cannot afford a boat, have to pay a fine for being poor? 12. Idaho Law: A person may not be seen in public without a smile on their face. Simply, if you are having a rotten day, some massive grievance just struck you, just keep smiling! No matter what! 13. Illinois Law: The English language is not to be spoken. If the English language is not to be spoken in the state of Illinois, a state of a nation whose official language is English, then what is to be spoken? Gibberish, perhaps! 14. Indiana Law: Baths may not be taken between the months of October and March. Convenient law for the not-so hygienic! 15. Iowa Law: A man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public. This law is a simple example of discrimination against a man with a moustache against a clean shaven one. 16. Kansas Law: Pedestrians crossing the highways at night must wear tail lights. Sigh! Since when were pedestrians an equivalent to vehicles? Tail lights on human beings? The must be kidding when creating this law! 17. Kentucky Law: A woman may not buy a hat without her husband's permission. It won't come as the slightest surprise if this one was formed somewhere in the 17th century and they forgot to amend it, considering we are living in 2010! 18. Louisiana Law: One could land in jail for up to a year for making a false promise. A great law for the vengeful people, but this one being considered as a serious statute is rather comical. 19. Maine Law: You may not step out of a plane in flight. You don't say! Are not all doors tightly jammed and the risk of getting out might as well land you on the seventh heaven? 20. Maryland Law: It's illegal to take a lion to the movie. It is probably illegal to take a cannibal simply anywhere, not just the movies, for heaven sake! 21. Massachusetts Law: Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked. They actually made this a statute! Uproarious! 22. Michigan Law: A woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission. This one would have the feminists going riotous. 23. Minnesota Law: It is illegal to sleep naked. Sure! The law makers would step onto your private property, have you checked for sleeping naked and charge you if found guilty while you are stripped! 24. Mississippi Law: If one is a parent to two illegitimate children, that person will go to jail for at least one month. So perhaps being a parent to one illegitimate child is legal then! 25. Missouri Law: Single men between the ages of twenty-one and fifty must pay an annual tax of one dollar (enacted 1820).: This is law is pretty much going against the Bill of Rights, tarnishing a single, very happy man's life, pushing him for marriage or to pay taxes, quite the same torture in a varying degree!

desioreo87 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The United States doesn't have an official language. thats the first thing i grasped onto as well. Honestly, though the stupid quips beneath the laws are unnecessary and add nothing to the article. Some of those laws just sound like an angry dude punking someone.

Reic Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 there are a bunch of inaccuracies in the commentaries under the pictures, and the author likes to use big words just to use big words. I want to slap the person who put this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the laws themselves are enough without the 2 bit commentary, what's more is that by writing a punchline it robs the reader from adding their own. I love reading about laws like this though, they are hilarious, and I can only sit back and wonder what on Earth caused a legislature to craft these laws and vote them into law.
