I live in the Philippines and found out that license plate law is there because there are too many cars on the road. So it is there to lighten the traffic. From what I know, it mainly applies to Manila, the traffic is really bad here.
This one from the UK.... Within the Metropolitan Police District, excluding the City of London, it is illegal to walk down the streets whilst carrying a plank of wood as well as poles, ladders and placards. The ban extends to casks, tubs, hoops, wheels, ladders, poles and placards. And if you thought you would get around the rule by rolling your tub along, that's banned too. The law is in place to prevent nuisance and increase ease of passage on public thoroughfares.
Tom Scott fan, maybe? If not, go watch! His older videos (Something you might not have known) include some older, silly (to us - there were probably good reasons for some of them at the time), laws. Excellent videos throughout.
There is also the ridiculous law that doesn’t allow any one person to walk into the house of parliament wearing knight armour and sword… guns are fine tho.. 😂🤣😂
As someone from Massachusetts, we swear all the time especially at sports events. Lol. Most of these kind of laws are not enforced far as I know. But we have laws on the books about snoring with your windows open, carrying a moose across the common in Boston in a bathtub, goatees, and having an ice cream in your posket at church. 😂😂
In massachusetts we have some pretty weird laws.. I'm not sure if they're enforced, but they definitely exist. For example: u can't carry a bathtub across the Boston commons. On sundays sex can only be missionary position.. I know I could look up what else there is but these are the couple I remember off hand atm.
Some of these laws are ridiculous! The Minnesota lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves 🤨. I do agree with the heels in Greece and no sandals(flip flops) in that part of Italy. Good one, Mike✌️
@@rolandwhite8669 Politicians have tried laws that attacked single mothers. About 20 years ago, New Brunswick required women name the "father" and refused welfare benefits without proof that legal steps were taken to get money out of the man. If the woman didn't know who (e.g. ONS, r@pe) she wouldn't get any social support. So women organized and started naming the premier as the father. ALL women did that. The law was quickly removed.
Some of these ridiculous laws were tacked onto other serious or beneficial laws as riders to keep them from passing. In order for the beneficial laws to pass, they would have to pass the whole thing or not at all.
There are similar laws in the UK regarding not being drunk in the pub. I used to work in pubs and I had to refuse service to people who were already drunk and offer them soft drinks instead. I also worked at places that would make people leave if they were 'too drunk' irrespective of their behaviour. It''s irresponsible in my opinion since at least there is help available in the pub should someone fall over and there's far less risk of assault whilst in the pub, even drunk people are humans and should be able to wait somewhere safe while they get a taxi home.
Here in the US, if you want to be assaulted, your best chances are to go to a bar (pub), get hammered, then run off at the mouth to anyone. I have watched bartenders join in on the fight. All while one person literally fell over and received no help from anyone until police arrived to arrest and take him to jail. We are what anyone would call, "ass-backwards" over here. And I won't bother getting into what a "roundabout" does to us. I'll just say that there are people still stuck in one from 3 years ago.
@theduder2617 lol about the rotary (what massachusetts calls a roundabout). We have 1 here that was on a travel channel show a good few years ago that was featuring the most dangerous intersection, roundabouts, road ways.. I'm not exactly sure of the title just the topic.
I' ve heard this before and that is such b.s. she didn' t choose to get r!@ed, also can you imagine when that kid is old enough to ask questions, " Dad how did you meet mom? Oh I r!@ed her, shows how alot of things in this world are still really messed up!
China. North Korea. Russia. No matter what you're talking about, even drinking water which is needed for all known life, i promise you there's a law against it "somewhere"
I live in Montana and it's illegal for a woman to fish by herself on Sunday as well as with her husband. Then there's the other law that can't assault a person with your garden hose on the street.
From the Philippines here. The license plate law is only applied to the Capitol, Manila and is there to lessen road congestion. Also its only during window periods like rush hour like 3pm to 7pm.
No gums in Singapore! One can’t sell or consume it. And, no selling of alcohol at shops, supermarkets and convenient stores after 10.30pm, except for licensed F&B establishments. 😆
I live in Denver Colorado, and we have a law that states one cannot tie their giraffe to a pink fire hydrant. There are supposedly two pink fire hydrants somewhere around the Denver area, but I've never seen them. Oh, and just curious as to how one might acquire a giraffe for a pet. Asking for a friend of course... lol
22 same here in Scotland. Not allowed to be drink in a licenced premises. I was a bouncer for a while and this amused me so much. And if you have ever been to Scotland then you’ll know we love a good drink 🍹 😅
Personally I don’t think rapists should have any rights to the child they fathered . Can you imagine the kid wondering why mom and dad live apart and the rapist says “son I have something to tell you. You were conceived when I raped your mother. That’s a real good father/son relationship starter. So after the kid has one all these workshops about how to treat a woman on a date he goes to see dad and finds out dear old dad is not only a criminal, but one of the worst kind. Obviously these laws are made by men. Who else would think up this idiotic idea of the boy’s stickiness to together!!
In Florida, it is illegal to tie an elephant to a parking meter unless you pay the parking meter. You can tie any other animal to the meter without paying the meter though. You just have to pay if you tie an elephant.
"Don't get drunk in a bar," is actually a very reasonable law. If you're getting drunk anywhere other than home, you're significantly more likely to either do something violent, hurt yourself, or, worse, drive your car.
I think the visit your parents law is because the sweatshop owners won't let their workers to have free days. So you need a law so the workers have some leverage.
@@dsxa918 It is, when you live in a city that has over 600 thousand people and is surrounded by either water or other cities on all sides. But I do get where you're coming from. It's been on the books for over a hundred years and they just haven't bothered to remove it.
Saw a sign that prohibited high heels on the vinyl floor. The sign explained that a 100 pound woman wearing high heels could exert a pressure of over 1000 psi on the heel thus ripping the vinyl.
@@julianaylor4351 I was thinking get a fat chick to don some of those metal stilettos.Then play some flamenco music. You would have a dancing jack hammer!🤣
If I can’t hold fish in a suspicious manner what’s the point in holding them? As for the license plate thing my initial thought was it was intended to reduce traffic congestion. As for laws against nudity, “decency” is a asinine concept. You’re not born wearing clothes. Nudity is natural. It’s idiotic prudish ideals that make it seem bad. Simply being naked shouldn’t be a crime in and of itself.
#22 is a law in South Australia too, but more specific, a pub or bar is not permitted to serve alcohol to a visibly inebriated person. It makes sense to a degree, as it is a way to cut down on alcohol-induced violence. #19 is a bad law for one reason, if you've had a serious falling out with your parents, why would you want to visit them? That would be far too stressful for both parties involved, but given China, I doubt there's exceptions for such circumstances. #11 is most likely an attempt to cut on traffic pollution, that's what I can at least glean from the law anyway. It does seem very hard to enforce, borderline impossible. As for some other dumb laws in Australia; 1. It is illegal to dress up as Batman and Robin. I have no idea how this is enforced or even why it's a law in the first place. 2. If you put up a poster for a missing item, you are not allowed to put a "No Questions Asked" clause on it. 3. If you arrive at a pub or bar by horse, the owners of the property are legally required to feed your horse for the duration of your visit. 4. In Western Australia, you were unable to own more than 50kg of potatoes at once, the law was repealed in 2016. 5. If you decide to wear a bikini on the Gold Coast, the overall material for said bikini cannot *_exceed_* 6 square inches.
I always find it hilariously funny, that UK rail line warning signs, say £200 for trespassing, next to a warning of deadly consequences of being struck by a train or being killed by electric overhead wires or electrified third rails.
Btw, here in the San Francisco Bay Area in California...we also have rail systems, like the Bay Area Rapid Transit (aka BART), Caltrain, San Jose's Light Rail, San Francisco's MUNI Light Rail System...ALL OF these systems ALL have their penalties signs...right there next their respective Danger Signs too...just replace the Pounds with the American Dollar, and there ya go... 🤨😳😉😁
Darn, I was going to do all these things in every country you mentioned. What buzz kills. My friends, the naked hiking aliens, are now going to come in speedos and high heels.
Some seaside towns in the UK have notices warning of gull attacks, if you eat on the seafront. Some will probably ban eating in public, for safety reasons soon.
In Oklahoma duct tape is an age restricted product. It is unlawful for people under the age of 18 to purchase duct tape. This law was passed after teenagers were smoking duct tape to get high. I found this out when my middle school age children tried to buy it for a legitimate school project and I had to buy it for them.
In the UK you have to be over 18 to buy any kind of knife or sharp scissors. Once I also had to wait for a shop assistant to fetch the pinking shears, from a store room, because a haberdashery department in a department store, would not put them on display, on the shelves, because people were stealing them to do who knows what with.
It’s perfectly legal for women to walk around topless in New York City or anywhere in New York State under Penal Code 245.01. I actually thought that would have been on your list.
@@jcfreak4ever1NY has gone over the edge anyway. Free narcan, free as in in a vending machine along with a bunch of other drug paraphernalia. Nice. The topless thing has been around for decades, never say anyone doing it unless they were sunbathing in Central Park.
I agree with many of them. I especially like the 'speedo' law. Imagine how many bulbous guys, just don't go to the beach. Eyesight Relief for the public.
The one about getting drunk in bars. Someplace in the US, it's illegal to *walk* drunk. If a bar owner was smart, they'd open a small motel next to, or above the bar. A rule being, if the customer is gonna get drunk, they have to rent a room in advance. They could be escorted to the room to sleep it off. Even have a few pay showers and someplace to buy fresh clothes when they wake up. Bar owner would get all the business of anybody planning to get drunk that night. Last one. So if the aliens appear and start killing people, we have to ask them nicely to stop murdering us?
It can still he there just not enforced. Some law enforcement think its stupid and don't worry about it so it's forgotten about but still on the books. Like in York England for example, lawfully it's legal to shoot a Scotsman with a crossbow in the small hours of morning. No one does it nor would police alow it but no one ever got arround to changing the law.
Mike in my hometown state of Sonora México used to be a law that charged horse ownership but lasted until the 70s, there is one new not absurd but is extremely charge if you don't pick your dog's poop above $200-300 fines!!! Another law from Italy they forbiden in Venice ugly people at the beaches, one from US says that "is illegal to a killer use a bullet proof vest while commits his crime", another from Thailand you are not allowed to put your foot in the image of the prince in the bill Greetings 😊
What's weird about the French 'ketchup' law is that here in the US our powers that be once ruled ketchup a vegetable when served in a child's school lunch...... bizarre
hey mike. the law in the Philippines you mentioned was enforced primarily to control traffic. the idea is about twenty percent of cars are not allowed on roads on a specific day which in theory should alleviate traffic jams. however, as clever as filipinos are, they just buy a second car with different license plate ending.
License plate days: This was actually tried in the U.S. in the '70's during the gas crunch--you could only buy gas on alternate days! Rape: I was privie to a conversation about an attempted rape case. Our chief secretary never lived down her question: "What happened? Did she beat him off??"
There's a law in Mobile, Alabama that prohibits high heels within the city limits. It's a protection ordinate to prevent the city from being sued if someone should injure themselves while walking in ridiculous high stilettos on city property. Personally, considering some of the frivolous suits I've seen, I can understand why this law was created. However, there's a law in Florida that prohibits people from tying an alligator to a fire hydrant.
Grandpa told me two laws here in our state. #1, the first car to stop at a 4 way stop must step out and discharge a firearm to announce they're being first to stop. #2, if two freight trains meet at a crossing, neither train can move until the other train is out of sight...not sure how that works. Great video guys
Is your grandfather from Michigan? Because we have the same rule on the books about exiting your vehicle and discharging a small explosive device or firearm at a 4 way stop. It's also illegal to fish while sitting on a horse in Michigan.
I don't know if it was fact or fiction, but i've heard of a story where a young family moved into a mew home. upon deciding to redecorate their home themselves they stripped of the old paper off the walls and discovered someone has painted an outline picture of four life sized men giving each other head. Upon taking to neighbours they discovered 4 young gay men once lived in the home all I could say was ouch just hope the children never got to see the images.
7:27 what happens if your parent(s) are toxic? Emotionally, mentally and physically toxic. Namely you don't want to be around them as a fellow human being? What do you do then?
!980 in Lagos, Nigeria. In order to reduce the number of cars on the road between 0700 and 1800. Cars with an odd ending number could drive around the city on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Even numbers on Tuesday or Thursday. It was a free for all on Saturday or Sunday. The wealthy bought two cars, and the savvy had two number plates for the same car.
Here's one for you:In the UK's Houses of Parliament, the House of Commons to be exact. Knight errant gone wrong: Don't don your shining armor and head to Parliament in the UK. The Statute forbidding Bearing of Armour (1313) Act still prohibits metal suits within the hallowed halls, a legacy of medieval power struggles.
How does one enforce the " You can't die in the your city" law?? Does the corpse receive a fine or ticket? There should be a law against receiving payment for fines from a corpse. I can't see how that'd be a problem.
In my town of 20,000 there is a law you can’t park your car continuously on the curb for more than 48 hours, lest it be considered “abandoned”. They even give you a warning by chalking your tire to see if it’s been moved. It is later followed by a $20 fine and a note saying it will be towed. This has happened to me a couple times. When paying the last time I told the clerk that the car was kept up and fully licensed and insured. She said the officer whose duty it is gets “a little over zealous” sometimes. I said that they must need beer money or something. A deputy sheriff I know said I can get around this by putting the car in neutral and moving it a few feet every other day. In case you’re wondering this is a town in MN so there’s not a lot of activity that happens here so I’m guessing they’re quite bored.
Here in my town there is a city law against people having a portable basketball hoop placed at the edge of a road, in front of the house. It is to stop kids from being in the street. It is rarely enforced.
It's illegal to dress up as batman in Australia. Also, if you ride a horse to a pub and tie it to the post outside. The barman is requires by law to provide hay and water. It's still there. Not enforced but there.
I watched this channel a couple times, realized they never even heard of the Westphalian Sovereign System, or Westphalian Philosophy & now it's constantly in my feed.
Speaking of not getting drunk in a bar. It's weird that at some point you can't order any more alcohol in a bar because bartender will tell you that you've had enough, and yet noone will tell you that you had enough of food in a restaurant. You can literally eat yourself to death and they won't mind.
The law in Philippines was also installed temporarily in Venezuela at one point due to the shortage of gasoline for cars due to the economic crisis. In Spanish it was called "pico y placa" and it was the same, licenses with specific numbers had specific days to be on the road (hence consuming less gasoline and not needing to refill as often) ---> suffice it to say, this didn't last long.
I read that there is a law in Seattle which makes it illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than 6 feet long in public. Is the city inhabited by giants?
Fun fact: In the UK which is where I'm from there was a law that required all men under the age of 40 to practice archery on Sundays and that law existed until the 1960s.
I was told that when in NY I ride in an elevator I am supposed to stand with my arms crossed and not talk to any other passengers on the elevator. I have broken the swearing at a sporting event in Massachusetts law several times. At both Red Sox and Pats games. Wow
I'm from St. Kitts, so let me tell you how it works. The one's who get arrested for cursing are the one's who curse on stage during public events, those who curse loudly and excessively in public, and cursing at or in the presence of a police officer.
Pinoy here, #11 is every day life here. We call it Number Coding scheme, a few for some reason call it "Color Coding" As you say, during the weekdays cars with specific last numbers cannot be out during a specific day during 7 to 10 AM , and 5 to 8 PM with a "window" time between 10 to 5. It was our way to reduce traffic, but there still traffic. The laws don't apply during holidays.
I would really like to know what Summo Wrestling will look like in Japan now... Slim and summo wresteler just doesn't feel right in the same sentence...
I can't remember when it was exactly but here in Australia at one time ( quite a long time ago) had a numberplate rule, it was during a fuel shortage, not sure if it by letters or numbers. Cheers from South Australia.
In Pennsylvania, 1969, a law was passed that it is illegal to sing in the bath tub. Also, in Pennsylvania, it is illegal to walk backwards while eating peanuts.
