Legal oddities of the day

American legal oddities

Lawyers around the world consider the United States of America the focus of ridiculous laws. Most of them are of origin many decades ago, when lawmakers were forced to make the appropriate amendments to protect respectable citizens from all sorts of legal loopholes. Nevertheless, there are several dozens of organizations that are fighting for the abolition of dumb laws ("stupid laws"), as they are called here.

In Alabama, under the threat of the death penalty, you will not be able to sprinkle the railroad rails with salt.

All, however, surpassed the municipal authorities of the city of Montgomery in the same Alabama. They forbade pedestrians to open umbrellas on the streets, so as not to frighten horses. Thus, you can not shelter from the rain without scaring the horse.

In California, there is a law that guarantees state residents the right to sunbathe in the sun.

In Florida, a woman faces a fine if she falls asleep while drying her hair.

In North Dakota, it is considered a crime to go to bed without taking off your shoes.

In Idaho, you can be arrested if you fish while riding a camel.

In the town of Chico, you risk being fined $ 500, if you blow up ... a nuclear device.
