This is the second thread of my 'Dumb Laws' thread series showing you some of the retarded laws that have ever been passed.

NOTE: These laws may not have been passed nor enforced. The laws mentioned in this thread are not cited and may contain spoilers. Please read at your own risk.

Alaska

Quote:
Moose may not be viewed from an airplane.
This means that if a passenger sees a moose on an airplane, they're going to have a felony on their criminal record.

Quote:
While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited.
Why would anyone be doing that?

Quote:
It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.
Here's a silly question: Why would a moose be on an airplane in the first place?

Quote:
No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car in Anchorage
I didn't know dogs can be tied up to roofs.

Quote:
For all you would-be pranksters out there, it is illegal to string a wire across any road in Achorage
That's a pretty illegitimate law.

Quote:
It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose in Fairbanks
Like there is anyone who's dumb enough to even do that.

Quote:
It is against the law to attempt to break any law in title 9 of the code in Haines
LOL WUT

Arizona

Quote:
Hunting camels is prohibited.
There's camels in Arizona?

Quote:
There is a possible 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus.
What do you think this is? North Dakota?

Quote:
Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs.
Why the hell would a donkey be in a bathtub in the first place?

Quote:
It is unlawful to refuse a person a glass of water.
The lawmakers of Arizona must have been drinking too much water if this law is enforced.

Quote:
You may not have more than two dildos in a house.
I find this hard to masturbate to...

Quote:
Cards may not be played in the street with a Native American in Globe.
I guess Native Americans won't be playing spades with their American friends.

Quote:
If you bother the cottontails or bullfrogs, you will be fined in Hayden.
Careful, citizens! Don't mess with these animals or you will be fined!

Quote:
No more than six girls may live in any house in Maricopa County.
I guess parents will have to put their seventh girl up for adoption because the local government of Marcopa are a bunch of jerks.

Quote:
One must be 18 years old to buy spray paint in Tempe.
I guess the spray paints in Tempe are rated M for Mature and children would have to get their parents to buy it for them.

Quote:
Women may not wear pants in Tucson.
I guess women would have frostbit on their legs during the winter as this law prohibits any women from wearing pants.

Corolado

Quote:
Car dealers may not show cars on a Sunday.
I guess my mom can't buy a car on Sunday.

Quote:
To own a dog over three months of age, one must obtain a license in Alamosa.
What kind of license would they need?

in pennsylvania you must pull off the road when approaching a horse with a ride. if the horse shows any reluctance to pass your car, you must disassemble your car and hide all the parts until the horse passes.

these, and many other laws, were passed nearly a century ago, and just have never been removed from the books.

Had one run in front of my van in Colorado. We had just passed a "game crossing" sign a few minutes before - they weren't kidding!

I take it you haven't been following the Republican primaries too closely. Romney has been under attack by animal rights groups, and now by Newt Gingrich, for having tied his dog to the roof of the car for 12 hours on a road trip from Boston to Canada.

Actually many cities prohibit minors from buying spray paints. Due to graffiti and/or huffing (inhaling) the fumes to get high.
