Dumb Laws #3 (felony, home, buy)

[marcus903]

The third thread of the 'Dumb Laws' series I decided to make.

NOTE: The laws mentioned in this thread may not currently be enforced or regulated. This thread also contains spoilers, you are reading this at your own risk.

North Carolina

It’s against the law to sing off key.

So if you don't want to go to jail, sing right.

Bingo games may not last over 5 hours unless it is held at a fair.

This ruins the point of most bingo festivals.

Fights between cats and dogs are prohibited in Barber.

And what happens if they do?

Oregon

Drivers must yield to pedestrians who are standing on the sidewalk.

Drivers must have to slow their cars down everytime they bypass a pedestrian if I'm playing my cards correctly.

Drivers may not pump their own gas.

So all drivers must have a car buddy to pump gases at all times.

Ice cream may not be eaten on Sundays.

I didn't know ice cream could cause health hazards on Sundays.

You must buy a $10 permit to be allowed to install a burglar alarm in Beaverton.

I can't believe I have to have an extra $10 to install a burglar alarm in my own home in this town.

Minors may not enter a room where a “social game” is being played in portland.

What's wrong with that?

Kansas

Pedestrians crossing the highways at night must wear tail lights.

And I thought being on a highway were illegal to begin with...

Hitting a vending machine that stole your money is illegal in Derby.

I guess I won't be using their vending machines then.

No one may sing the alphabet on the streets at night in Topeka.

The citizens of this town must can't stand the alphabet being sung at night because this law clearly proves it.

Snowball fights are illegal in Topeka.

So kids, don't even think about throwing that snowball.

Ohio

No one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July.

Sunday and the Fourth of July must be the days where people can do whatever they want because this dumbass law expresses it.

Posting signs at swimming pools is illegal in Akron.

So there cannot be signs depicting rules and regulations in Akron.

It is against the law to roller skate without notifying the police in North Canton.

So it's time to misuse the 911 system just to rollerskate.

What do you think?

Since sidewalks cross driveways, the Oregon law makes sense. I can't tell you the number of times I have been almost hit by cars entering and exiting parking lots while I was on the sidewalk.

Growing "industrial hemp" is illegal in the USA, even though the soil composition on the South Dakota Indian Reservations is uniquely suited and IDEAL for growing this crop, which is very different from marijuana. The US Navy must import all its industrial hemp (used on boat rigging and other uses) from Canada. On the South Dakota forum here, there is a very long thread that goes on and on about this subject and how it could benefit the desperately poor natives who have virtually no jobs and all live on welfare payments.
