Does your state have a crazy or silly outdated law?

They made this one just for me...Heck, someones got to be an Oklahoma strip poker champion!!!\n\n"Women may not gamble in the nude, in lingerie, or while wearing a towel." \n\nAnd here's one like yours...\n\n"Females are forbidden from doing their own hair without being licensed by the state." \n(They'll just have to sue i guess! LOL)\n\nHere's a good one...Now remember I live in OKLAHOMA...\n\n"Whaling is illegal." (LMAO!!! The only whales I see hear wear hot pink spandex and they definitely need to be shot! Yuck!!!)\n\nAnd last but not least...Drum roll please! I don't think I could ever make enough money to pay for all the fines I've accrued on this one... LOL\n\n"Or@l sex is a misdemeanor and is punishable by one year in jail and a $2,500 fine." \n\n:D

Outdated laws and political correctness have entirely and absolutely nothing to do with each other!\n\nOutdated laws exist because they are rarely if ever utilised and the body of law is so vast that they are probably long forgotten... \n\nWhen a situation arises that they may come into play and are now seen to be unjust then the government will usually legislate to amend and/or overrule the prior law in that area...\n\nLaw is an evolving process that is in a state of continual change... it just takes time to get to all the changes that need to occur and in law that time is often measures in hundreds of years not one or two...

That is true in any state.\n\nCoach

In my state:\n\n1. One may not test their physical endurance while driving a car on a highway.\n\n2. Babies may not be carried on the running boards of a car.\n\n3. A door on a car may not be left open longer than is necessary.\n\n4. Dishes must drip dry.\n\n5. It is illegal to whisper "dirty" things in your lover's ear during sex.\n\n6. Ice cream may not be eaten on Sundays.\n\n7. One may not bathe without wearing "suitable clothing."\n\n8. Canned corn is not to be used as bait for fishing.\n\nNaturally, most of these (with the exception of the baby one) are not enforced, and have been stuck on the books for the lest 100 or so years.  But it's still funny to think that going to Dairy Queen on Sunday is against the law.

I agree that many laws are passed by idiots - just b/c it's "illegal" doesn't mean the law that makes it illegal is a just law.  I aruge on the point of infringement, too - if what I do hurts someone else then it should be punishable by law, i.e drinking and driving.  But, if I'm the only person which I'm affecting, the government can get it's stinking hands out of my business, i.e, say if I felt like enjoying "herbal remedies" every now and then. \n\nPeople DO need to come up with a better response than "it's illegal" and actually examine the basis of the law itself, why it's illegal (is someone being hurt?), and go from there!\n\n\n*****\nI think that somebody is missing the point.  There are laws in MA that dictate that it is ILLEGAL to walk through Boston in high heels.  It is ILLEGAL to walk through Boston Common without a FIREARM (to protect you from those dangerous Native Americans).  Think about that for a second...\n\n...Now think about the over-generalized, peon-happy, statement that was made below this.\n\nI'm sure I would have gotten arrested by now if those laws were upheld, but alas they the Blue Laws exist.  And if I broke my ankle on one of the notoriously uneven cobblestone walkways in the city, I'd have to go to the hospital and have it x-rayed, then put in a cast.  That would cost my insurance company (thus increasing their pay-outs, and maybe YOUR healthcare premium?).  That would take up a doctor's time when he/she hadn't planned on my emergency arrival. \n\nSo should I never wear a heel to work or when on a date because I might break my ankle and cause a domino-effect of chaos through out the cosmos?\n\nI think that perhaps someone else needs to think outside of his/her box as well.  No one said that an action has no consequences, but let's be REAONSABLE about it.\n\n\n***\nJust to play the Devil's advocate for a second "ballsonwalls" (heh heh)...seatbelts reduce injuries sustained in accidents GREATLY.  Thereby reducing costs for insurers (freakin' crooks...).  An increase in insurers' costs would most definately be reflected in all our insurance bills, and I'd like to think that a savings b/c more ppl wear seatbelts would also be reflected.  Aside from that, f**k it.\n\nOo and ANOTHER example:  just b/c gay marriage is illegal in most states throughout the union, does that make gay relationships WRONG b/c the GOVERNMENT doesn't recognize them as LAWFUL??  PEOPLE NEED TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES!

What state do you live in?  If I knew what state I could help with the laws of that state.

hi, \n\nto get the text of the statutes in question you'll probably have to go to a law library.  however if you are just looking for citations of where these weird laws are enacted, this book might be helpful:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0749950366/203-0753525-2215951\n\nhere's an article from the times that tells you some of these details:\nhttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1987507,00.html\n\nnote that at the end of the article it says that many of these weird old laws are repealed in yearly Statute Law Revision Acts.  you might hunt them down, as they are probably just a laundry list of weird old stuff.\n\ngood luck!

You have to make your question clearer so we no what your talking about.\n\nThe laws of one State must be recognized by the other States.

Where are you located? Or, what state are you wanting to know about, legislation varies by state so I can't really help without at least knowing that much.

In what state?  Laws differ from state to state as to qualifications...

not in California.  Different states have different laws.

A bill pissed into a law? ha ha!

There are no state laws about it. Your county likely has a law that deals with it.

It depends on state laws. It varies.

In almost all states, that probably constitutes good and sufficient service.  But without knowing your state (and whether you're a party to the action) it is impossible to say for sure.\n\nP.S.  The person above me is wrong.
