Ok, I would have explained this in my first post, but I ran out of characters.

The post above me are dumb laws that were found on DumbLaws.com (http://www.dumblaws.com). These are pretty stupid, and some are funny, and some are just bizarre.

I'm didn't make these up off the top of my head. Half of these are laws that aren't even enforced. Even look at the FAQ on the site:

Where do you find these laws?
>> From a variety of sources: the state/municipal codes, elected officials, books, newspapers, magazines, other web sites, and of course, visitors like you.

Are these laws real?
>> As far as we know, and unless they have been repealed, yes. We try to verify as many laws as we can in the state/muncipal codes, but we still haven't gotten around to everything, so if you know for a fact that a law isn't true, we'll take it off and look into it. In addition, the laws that have been verified and the exact code is available, we have them available under "Get the Full Text of this Law" link.

Can I still get arrested for breaking one of these laws?
>> Since many are so out of date, you most likely won't get arrested. However, some are still on the books and regularly enforced.

A local news station did a report on these a while ago. A lot of them are false. Others are twisted to sound stupid. Like no vehicle without a driver can exceed 60 mph. It's not like a car is cruising with no driver, it's like taking a remote controlled plane or car and propelling it over 60 mph.

Yeah, that's true. There's one that says you can't wear a bandanna over your eyes while driving when it never actually says a bandanna in the law. It basically says nothing con obstruct the driver's view. Actually, that got two dumb laws from that.
