Although
laws are often exaggerated or misinterpreted we can come across countless exceptionally
weird ones that are still in effect. Their
peculiarity often lies in violation of common sense especially
from today’s perspective. Here is a few of them you can purportedly encounter
in the States but a large number of similar and rather bizarre laws provided
with an interesting commentary can be found here.
In
Youngstown, Ohio, you may not run out of gas.
In Nevada,
sex without a condom is considered illegal.
In Everett,
Washington, it is illegal to display a hypnotized or allegedly hypnotized
person in a store window.
In Arizona,
there is a possible 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus.
Well these are rather strange:) But there are laws almost for everything these days. And I am not overly surprised because people can sue somebody (and win!) for very bizzare reasons... Very "nice" examples of trials can be found here: http://listverse.com/2009/01/28/top-10-bizarre-or-frivolous-lawsuits/
