Laws should be made to improve the level of discipline among the people. I have found some laws that are made in my area and are considered as legal. But these laws are really stupid. Some of these laws are.

1. Dogs may not bark after 6pm.
2. No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
3. It is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset.
4. It is considered an offense to shower naked.

You can also find some more stupid laws from here.

I really like the one about using the x-ray equipment to get the right shoe size. That’s pretty crazy. Thanks for the fun read.

I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard that in Sacramento, CA, it’s illegal to kick the heads off of snakes.

Sacramento originally had wooden sidewalks, and apparently snakes would pop their heads up between the boards or through the knots. Kicking the heads off these snakes made for a mess.

Like I said, not sure if it’s true.

As for the bulletproof vest bit (#10)–there are plenty of laws against criminals taking steps to make their crimes safer.

When I was growing up in Detroit, there was still a law on the books stating that the operator of a horseless carriage was required to get out, walk to the intersection with a lantern and make sure that there were no approaching horses before proceeding.

Another note on the silly Swedish house painting law – it only applies to houses that are within an urban planning area (or city plan or whatever the term might be). So it’s still a bit silly, but not as stupendously daft as it seems at first.
