Day 5 more silly laws still in force

This another day when I started looking at some of the stupidest laws still in force. It would be good if others could post their findings to myself or make comments, I would be grateful for a response. Below are some more laws the weird and wonderful:

1. It is illegal to set a mousetrap in California unless you have a hunting licence.

2. Driving around a roundabout 3 times if lost, constitutes a driving offence in the U.K.

3. Letting a stranger use your toilet is a criminal offence in Scotland according to law passed in 1791.

4. In Finland Donald Duck comics were once banned because he never wore any trousers.


Hope you enjoyed these. Will post more as and when I obtain them.

day 4 what constitutes a stupid law

Since the 1700's many laws have not been repealed and are still in the statute book. In this the 21st Century they are still passing laws that are to my mind stupid and go against all the principles people fought wars for to give us a freedom of choice. This does not mean that their is no sense in them but they take away our freedom of choice or our rights to be an individual with a choice to make our own decisions instead of having to have it made for us. My pet hates in regards to laws that take away our choices, just look at the No Smoking rules or not being allowed to chastise our children what is this all about, what choice do we have? We should be allowed to vote on these laws instead of having them passed by beauracrats who don't live in the real world.
If you have any comments please feel free to voice them and reply to my blog.

Below are a couple of more Archaic Laws:

1. Placing a postage stamp of the Queen ( or King ) upside down is considered treason.

1. In New York it is illegal to jump from a tall building, this is punishable by death.

day 3 justice in character.

In justice we have had to be subservant with Archaic Laws as well as those that uphold it. I f you think of all the wars, deaths, injustice, persecution caused by Archaic Laws is it not about time that all these stupid laws were repeales. If you have any form of picture caricature or have found any Archaic Laws feel free to post them to my site.

1. It is illegal for a bottle of home made wine to be offered as a tombola prize at a village fete unless the organisers obtain a liquor licence.
