As someone from Trinidad and Tobago, it is illegal to curse in public. However it doesn't stop us once the police aren't around LOL.
It's technically illegal in the UK, too.
Yeah it's technically illegal in alot of countries. And yes it is probably somewhat 'illegal' in the UK but everyone is swearing all the time at a rate of around 5 per second. Would be pretty hard to enforce! 😅
Therefore there must be an official list of what counts as curse words, right?
@@Liggliluff probably
*car crashes * "oh dang nabbit, this fellow citizen made a bit of a boo boo"
That's fucked mate l, there's no chance I wouldn't be swearing when some shit cunt decided to throw a knifes past my mullet in a hop by.
I recently moved to Tennessee for a postdoc position and as I was studding for my Tennessee drivers license I found this funny law: In Tennessee the only animal you are allowed to shoot out of the window of a car is a whale. Remember that Tennessee has no coast at all so the probability of seeing a whale is practically zero.
@mee2 I'm not 100% sure that there exists no aquarium large enough to hold a whale, with an actual whale in it, in Tennessee, so I wanted to include that possibility in my statement, hence the use of the word "practically". I couldn't find one with a quick google search, but I didn't go to the second page so there's that...
Define whale, it could mean a 450 £ person sat on their porch ;o))))
Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if the exception was added to appease some arbitrary basis that an exception must be clearly and remotely indicated to avoid people using other means to find a loophole.
Or Tennessee insisted “but my guns” on the basis of what if it’s such a large animal that it had to be shot down, and the answer was “well, if you see a whale just casually out in the open, have at it. Otherwise no.”
Waiting for an whale to be driven though the state so I can try and mad Max it
Long shot ?
5:56 in Germany, you can only legally sell seed potatoes if you have a licence for that. One company (which I love for the wonderful use of language in their catalogues) once sold potatoes “for consumption” only, describing exactly what ‘not’ to do to give them the best start in your garden, for “that would make them multiply and that would be illegal, so it must never happen”. 😂
That one, at least partially make some sense. Seed potatoes in all of EU have to be tested for disease and mold before they can legally be sold. This is to minimize the risk of spreading these things within EU. In Germany they have apparently made the decision to solve this problem by having a license to sell. So.. in some way it make a bit of sense, I guess ^^
When the UK joined the EU there was a big issue over a variety of Potatoes called 'King Edward' - the preferred variety for cooking chips (fries to you americans). King Edwards could only be grown commercially, because they were vulnerable to some disease or other. So growing them in your garden was prohibited, and only registered seedsmen were allowed to possess them.
In the state of Queensland, Australia if you want to grow bananas (either at home or commercially) you are required to source the banana plants from an approved nursery (mostly this is to ensure the banana plants are free of any diseases that could cause issues for the big QLD commercial banana crops). There are (or at least were) restrictions on what you could grow and where as well although I don't know what the rules are as of 2022 since I am not a banana expert.
Back in the days of prohibition in the America, producers would sell grape juice with all the information needed on what not to do to avoid it turning into wine.
In the UK, it is illegal to beat or shake any carpet or rug in any street. However, beating or shaking a doormat is allowed before 8am.

10:25 yes selling lemonade is a uniquely american thing! i was charmed by it when i first visited america when i was 11, seeing kids selling cheap homemade lemonade on the street in the summer. adorable! would be nice to have in the UK as well
I sold lemonade when I was little. It was fun.
@@liviwaslost that’s so cute
So if it is illegal to bring someone who is standing in line to vote a bottle of water, can you give that person a capri sun or a coconut or a cup of tea or gourd filled with any kind of liquid? 🤔
They thought of that. It's "..including but not limited to food and water within 150 feet. " Georgia is an evil backward place.
Or a CAN of Bubly?
Whenever I go to the hospital, about 1/2 the time someone gives us their ticket when they leave and we do the same. Whenever you see someone come as you leave, just give them your ticket if it has time on it. Hospital car parks fleece vulnerable/ill people and the profits don’t even go back to the NHS, at least where I am.
In France, it has your license plate on it (hospital or not)
One that most people in the UK never know, is that it's technically illegal to flash your lights to warn oncoming drivers of a police speed trap. Recently someone in Wales got a £1,000 fine for "Obstructing a police constable in the execution of their duty" for posting on Facebook warning fellow motorists of a speed trap on a road near them. Also, running out of fuel on the motorway will (and has) result in a fine too as you're only allowed to stop on the hard shoulder if your car breaks down from a mechanical issue.
Same in Germany. Warning people about mobile radar units (the permanent ones are even shown on paper maps - remember those?) in any fashion and running out of fuel on the motorway are both illegal.
Meanwhile in Slovakia we have a regular radio update program on the incidents/patrols on the roads. It's is like a minute slot withing the news reports that come up on the National radio station every hour 🤷
Haven't read the more recent editions of The Highway Code, but I still remember the code " flashing of the lights, like the sounding of the horn, means have you seen me' which is why I never flashed lights to another driver if I was letting them in.
Huh, good to know, I'm from London but don't drive, didn't know this. However, I do know that informing other drivers of a speed trap is legal in the US thanks to their First Amendment, though obviously you can't do it in such a way that would cause a driving hazard, such as by potentially blinding other drivers with very bright lights.
Sunday is not Sunday without Evan to end it! Have a great week all. Now to see what great stuff Evan has for us thos week!
I now have matt and tom singing "we flew a kite in a public place" stuck in my head
Oh boy, I'm looking forward to scribbling on new banknotes with King Charles to give him long womanly hair!
Re. sleeping in cars, one thing I don't like about UK is the parking time limit at motorway service stations. If you are feeling tired and want to stop for a rest you must not sleep for more than 2 hours. In other countries they have motorway rest stops that don't sell fuel, meals etc but are just car (and truck) parks.
I normally leave the motorway and find a quiet road to rest.
Maybe they don’t want people camping in their cars / gypsies taking over the car park
@@camellia8625 that's something I expect Central/Eastern Europe to be bothered with, not Western/Northern Europe.
@@Liggliluff There's a surprisingly large amount of what's known as "Travellers" these days in the UK. People who by choice are living basically nomadically out of caravans and such.
They in general dont have a good reputation, often setting up campsites on public land and have been known to leave a mess behind them.
In the UK, a mate of mine got nicked for "being in charge of a motor vehicle while intoxicated". His missus kicked him out after a skinful, so he slept in the car on the drive. Got woken up by a knock on the window, because he had his keys in his pocket, technically he was breaking the law.
Was he sitting behind the wheel or lying in the back of the car? I would think that would matter.
@@pjschmid2251 he was in the driver's seat, fully reclined. I never thought of that, thanks for the grey matter exercise. Apparently, he was supposed to have had the keys on the dashboard, or on the outside of the car. Common sense isn't so common in the eyes of the law.
It's like how every car on the road, unless off the road, registered as "Statutory Off Road Notice" (SORN), needs insurance. Now, if you get banned from driving, it's almost impossible to get insurance, equally it's exceptionally difficult (and expensive) to get insurance on a vehicle which you don't own.
So, hypothetically, if your mate gets arrested and banned from driving, it's very difficult for you to legally help them out, without spending over 5x the cost of insuring the cost of your own vehicle. Especially to get their other vehicle back from the pub. Considering they walked back from the pub to avoid drink driving.
Apologies if I sound patronising, there are a lot of international fans in the comment section, and they may not be aware of the nuances.
I’m in England and I thought this was an American phenomenon only . Interesting .
@@tobiasmills9647 I will say, a good number of comprehensive insurance policies allow for driving other vehicles without a huge mark up. In the case of your mate, it does sound like the police could easily suspect he could have driven to the place he was at while drunk. That said, it rather sounds like he was charged for the possible appearance of a hypothetical crime having taken place without any evidence it did. Which is...worrying to realise.
@@robhardingpoetry they stated it's because they were in possession of the keys, which is all it takes, as he was technically in charge of the vehicle. Despite the fact they were in his pocket.
Yeah, if I owned the car, it was about £130. To add it to my existing policy is over £470 and to insure it as a non-owner, it's over £700.
The other issue with this, is that were they to sign the car over, I'd then have to tax it myself.
Evan, it is actually quite easy to get a replacement Social Security card. I got one last year. I was actually surprised/disturbed by how easy it was.
Yeah I got a replacement online just recently. It was disturbingly easy.
Yeah I got one too. The guy said to not tell anyone and that it would only last me until I got out of the country. Whatever that means 🤷♀️
It was a lot harder before they started doing everything online. One thing that makes me thankful for the internet!
In the UK, all you need is your social security number., no card necessary.
@@grahvis another reason the US sucks lol
It's illegal to sleep in your car in the UK as well, as although there is no specific law against the act of sleeping in your car, there are other laws that effect it. There's a good video a lawyer did on it, and a lot of them were about how it's a bad idea to sleep in your car after a night out as you could be charged with a "drunk in charge" charge. (And yes he makes the joke about how many times the word "charge" comes up in sentence.)
you can sleep in your car if you haven't been drinking though and just need to a place to stay the night if you can't get a hotel room, i know lots of people who have done this as they can't afford expensive hotel prices in the UK
@@aurora6920 Again like I said, a barrister did a video on it. He says that usually when people sleep in their car it's because of a night out and all scenarios, even in a caravan, could lead to getting a "drunk in charge" charge. He also mentions that there are certain places you are and are not allowed to sleep at, and some of these places have a maximum stay. Usually 3 hours which is why lorry drivers are so tired all the time because they only get 3 hour naps.
Some jurisdictions also have their own laws which may be even more indeph on the subject. Like I've heard of people being told they're being a public nuisance for sleeping in their car. So yeah, there's not one specific law that states it's illegal but if the police wanted to, there are laws that the police use against you when sleeping in your car.
In the Netherlands, we have these things called 'Koetjesrepen' (Cow bars), which are essentially chocolate bars, but the company is legally not allowed to call it chocolate, because the law forbids a company to call something chocolate if it does not contain at least 35% dry cocoa ingredients (at least 18% must be cocoa-butter and 14% must be fat-free).
Was reminded of this after you mentioned the pickle-law, but I'm 100% sure this food law stands.
Is dit echt waar? Dit wist ik niet hahaha.
This is why Hershey's bars that are sold in England are called candy bars that are chocolate flavoured
@@bruhgamingnl1315 Ja, het is het "Warenwetbesluit Cacao en chocolade". Zoek maar eens op, het staat er precies beschreven. Koetjesrepen zijn vooral suiker, melkpoeder en vet, weinig chocolade aan. Je kunt het vergelijken met 'cacaofantasie' van DE; dat is ook officieel geen chocolademelk.
@@Catsandcamera True. I do believe the law in England requires 25%, though, not 35%? It's 10% in the United states.
Makes sense though. There must be some limit, and they put it at 35%
But to be honest, would you call sometime "chocolate" if it's 65% not chocolate?
And for food products with chocolate filling, that might have 5% chocolate in the entire product, those aren't sold as chocolate, but as having chocolate filling.
Just seems reasonable to me.
Our lemonade is carbonated so kids don't really sell it. But I do remember a story from a few years back when a kid over here got in trouble with the polis for selling lemonade at the side of the road.
Evan: Nobody chooses to sleep in their car?
Me, looking at my car, from my bedroom: I...often desire to sleep in my car...
Wasnt there a kid in America that ended up being killed or assaulted by police because he was selling lemonade or sweets unlicensed? Also the litany of anti poor laws is depressing.
10:28 pff the police thing is really crazy thinking that in my country (The Netherlands) the first article of the police law describing what is the task of the police is this: "The task of the police, subordinate to the competent authority and in accordance with the applicable legal rules, is to ensure the effective maintenance of the rule of law and to provide assistance to those who need it." so pretty much what you would expect of it.
I have to wonder about the "To Serve and Protect" moto used by many police forces here in the US.

I would go so far as to say Trans-Universal Treasure.
Not clearing snow off your car roof is an offence that can be fined £50 in the UK
In Sweden, having lose snow on your car is indirectly illegal, since it counts as having unsecured load on your vehicle, and that's illegal. So no law specifically about snow.
But it would technically mean that it would also be illegal to drive with leaves on your car, or if you forgot the paper cup on the roof. But I doubt anyone cares, except for the littering of the latter.
In the state of Victoria, Australia they have just introduced a similar law, it wasn't popular, but I can see why someone driving around with half a metre of snow on their car roof might be dangerous.
Every winter in the US I see people driving with snow on their car roof. Sometimes the only place cleared off is where the wipers brushed snow off the windshield. How they can drive like that is beyond me. Though I can see why some people don't clean the roof of those huge vehicles driven in the states just because you can't reach it.
It's because it could slide down onto your windscreen and block your view while you're driving
In the UK you can buy a car directly from its current owner if you want (and they are selling it). It’s not uncommon to see a car parked up with a price on A4 paper in the window. Example, £4000 ONO, 10000 miles. They’d have to put contact details as well though
The weird thing about sleeping in your car is that it only seems to be illegal overnight. I’ve fallen asleep in my car in the middle of the day, in very public places, and have never had a problem
The Icelandic equivalent of a kids' lemonade stand is an upturned cardboard box outside a supermarket, with trinkets they've collected by going door-to-door asking for "stuff for a tombola". Very rarely involves pulling a number and receiving the corresponding "prize". Has been slowly dying since most people don't have a pocketful of change anymore.
No money transfer by phone?
@@Liggliluff Kids usually don't have bank accounts, but even if they do, the process of making an online payment to a stranger is tedious. This is an excellent use case for cryptocurrency.

Handelling salmon in a suspicious way is a famous one
Cycling on the pavement is quite the annoying one in my opinion
@@jwb52z9 the law actually means that it’s illegal to handle a fish if you suspect it’s been used in a crime so yeah probably
That or if it’s been stolen
@@jmurray1110 Cycling on the pavement I can accept as illegal if it's one of these narrow or normal sized ones, that you can usually just barely walk two on. Having a bike on it is just annoying.
But if it's quite a wide one, then fair enough.
In Toowoomba you cam carry matches if you're walking in slippers or in pj's
Meanwhile here in Queensland 🇦🇺 one of our police officers in my town bought a TV (with his own money) for my colleagues daughter after her ex broke it when he was drunk, the police had to remove him
I feel like this is how it should be. If stuff breaks and the police can confirm that it was the criminal (arrested person) that lead to it breaking. The government should pay for the damages, and charge the criminal with it. It seems reasonable, since we should be affected as little as possible by these criminals.
I am shocked the lamination of the Social Security card is a real law. They claim it prevents the detection of security features😂. I am gonna die laughing right now because I can’t see any security features in my Social Security card not a single one. Now of course I’m very old so I got mine when I was 16 (they didn’t issue them at birth back then only when you needed a job). Although they do say you can put it in a plastic cover so long as it can be removed and doesn’t damage the card so there you go you have a new industry you can go into Social Security card protectors.
I actually just found out this was illegal after my whole family already has ours laminated… oops
I’ve had mine since age 13 and mine is paper. There’s nothing of a security nature on it.
As someone who has had to learn how to "verify" social security cards there are a few security details on them. I suppose laminating them would mean someone could feel the texture of the paper as its relatively unique.
@@wintergirlb8367 even ones that are 50 years old? I mean security features on documents weren’t so much of a thing back then.
I've never seen a kid in the UK selling lemonade but I've seen plenty of kids doing bake sales in front of their houses at big events - eg - parades for whatever celebration, during the olympics, places where people walk past your house to get to a big tourist attraction
The commercial break right after you stated about the butterfly was perfect timing.
I love the new setup! Being able to see out the window is awesome!

This was fun. Really enjoyed it. I believe in the UK you can be found guilty of being drunk in charge of a horse, a bicycle and possibly a ride on mower.
Funnily enough, although selling lemonade at the side of the street has never been a thing here, about 3 or 4 years ago - when we still had such a thing as summer - two young girls had a little stall along the main road selling lemonade. I was both gobsmacked and amused. It is, however, against health laws here so I don't know if they got away with it. I hope they did because it was really enterprising. :)
In the UK you weren't allowed to feed a parking meter past your allocated time, say 2 hours, you had to move to the other side of the street.
the british version of the lemonade stand is the lucozade kid and they were elite salesmen

We don't make lemonade because lemons don't grow here. Instead we make cider!

You could cultivate the mushrooms, and sell them in shops, there was shop near me sold them by the punnet. They couldn't process them though so no drying for tea.
I’m not sure if this is just Kansas, or if it’s a common thing, but it’s only illegal to sleep in the driver’s seat. So if you need to sleep in your car in Kansas, switch to the passenger seat or the back seat
Lemonade stands is the one of the most American things
We have a similar thing with cannabis in Denmark. You cannot buy, sell or grow it, let alone import it. But if you happen to be in possession of a small amount, classifies as "only for personal use", you'd tecnically be off the hook.
A friend of mine in collage used to bring her duvet with her so she could nap in her car over lunch or when we had free time. I still think about her all the time.
(12:00) Sweden also has a number for each citizen, a person number. However, it's public and any citizen with internet access can access these numbers for anyone aged 16+. Therefore you can't "lose it", and it's also not used for security. It's still used by companies and banks to separate customers by, but it's not your password, rather your username.
I guess you can call it a "social number".
US social number is not unique.
The same number will be reassign to different person once they ran out.
Yes, it leads to real world issue of tax being fuck up.
No, no one in power seems to want to change this broken system because the hot topic ATM is get rid of anyone that's not traditional white that upheld the Judeo Christian value.
In Denmark, it's required by law to pay a license fee for the TV channel DR1...
It doesn't matter if you actually USE it. If you have a device CAPABLE of using it, you get a bill for the fee, unless you could prove that nothing in your home could make use of it!
It was put in place to ensure a basic public service, where no matter what, you were guaranteed access to at least one TV channel to ensure acces to news, cultural programs and entertainment... As of 2022, the direct fee doesn't exist anymore, and is now just incorporated into our taxes instead, but it's still law that you pay it if you own a tablet, smartphone, TV or computer!
In Denmark, if the Øresund freezes over and a Swedish person tries to walk across to Denmark, danes are not only allowed to, but are obliged to beat them with a cane.

In May of next year in the US, board a plane without a special ID. If you live somewhere like Point Roberts you can be a registered voter with a fully State-endorsed ID you paid for but because you didn't pay the government extra you can't leave, not that non-areal travel is great even in the best case in the US (especially if you don't have a vehicle).
About the water bottles... I don't know if this will work but what about stacking the water bottles somewhere a little bit away from the line and offer yourself to replace the person in the queue so they can go get the water bottle by themselves. They come back with their water and you do the same with someone else... technically you are not handling the bottle to someone in line... they out of the line...
In the UK, it is illegal to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances.
In Hungary it's illegal to have sex with lights on. I don't think they do anything to enforce that law, but it is on the books.
How dark does it have to be? Is it okay if the room is partially illuminated from the lights in an adjacent room? And if the lights are off, but you have an LED strip behind the bed? Or if you leave your phone's display on on high brightness? I have so many questions...
The law about potatoes in Western Australia (which likely is no longer a thing) was actually a law that limited how much potato growers could grow, limited imports form other jurisdictions and required all potato sales to go through a centralized government body. The aim was to ensure sufficient supply of potatoes and keep prices reasonable (otherwise you get situations where farmers will grow too many and the price falls leading to farmers not growing anymore leading to shortages and higher prices and a constant cycle.

In Enid Blyton's Secret Seven books, the mother used to make lemonade for the kids.
At first, I thought it was so weird that it's illegal to laminate a Social Security card, but I did a little research & it actually makes sense: there're security features on the card to prevent counterfeits that lamination prevents the detection of.
Also, if you lose/damage your card, it is possible to get a replacement. BUT there's a lifetime limit of 6, and there's a whole process to it that's a pain. So, keep your card in a safe place, & maybe get a plastic sleeve for it
I was bidet years old when I learned these facts
Social Security cards can be replaced if lost or damaged. I've ordered a few replacements in rapid succession. They don't ask questions, and I just leave them in secure locations where nobody can access them besides me (I don't have a deposit box, but I do know how to set up a vinegar trap in a box to destroy the contents if unauthorized people open it).
In the UK you'll find that cannabis seeds are in bird feed that you may give to your parrot. I used to know someone that lived next to someone, that used to throw the contains of the bottom of the bird cage outside in to the back garden.

I think here in the UK there is still some weird law appertaining to Shrewsbury,the town that the English/Welsh border and the River Severn goes through,it was that you could legally kill a Welshman on a Friday night after midnight or something. I expect it's been repealed by now. It was probably a hangover from the ancient days of Owen Glendower et al.
We don't have lemonade stands but I love stands of homegrown plants or veg outside cottages in off the beaten track vilages with an Honesty Box to put the money in which I hope people do,like I do.
The swearing one made me think of Demolition Man 😂
The lemonade quip annoyed me. Anything ending in ade in the UK is generally expected to be carbonated, like how in the US soda means carbonated, cloudy and traditional are used to describe the lemonade more commonly found in the US.
It really shouldn't have annoyed me but it really narked me for some reason.

I think here in Germany you can always sleep in your car for one night by saying that you're not fit for driving anymore.
That rule also allows camper Vans to stay on normal parking spots for one night where they wouldn't be allowed to sleep otherwise
Illegal to sleep in the car thing. I saw a video by black belt barrister on this. It relates to UK law.
Technically, it's not illegal to sleep in your car (otherwise it would be illegal to sleep in a mobile home). However, it IS illegal to sleep in your car... under the influence, and I guess technically would include mobile homes too.
Looking forward to the big research video.
I always wanted to have a lemonade stand as a kid because it was in all the American cartoons! But it's not a thing here in Germany so I never dared to ask ..
Actually responsible drivers do go"ya know what I'm going to sleep in my car today"
Because responsible drivers, don't drive while tired.
And sometimes there just isn't a place to sleep at because the nearest motel is to far away.
In my hometown, it is illegal to hanglide in public parks
What?! I just went to Italy last year and I did not see a single bidet!
I suspect it's more meant for the developer, so if you are renovating your own bathroom or building a house for yourself, nobody cares. You'd likely need to look at somewhat recently built apartment blocks (so nothing that looks like it stood there from the Roman Empire times...)
Often, it's a matter of safety to take a nap in the car before driving home! Shift workers, travelers, or someone feeling unwell should definitely be free to sleep in their car until they feel up to driving.
Dolls count as toys and those kinds of dolls can be made without the holes so to say but they would still count as that specific kind of toy even though you could no longer use them.
So you could be a collector who collects them because you like the way they look and do you get arrested in Texas.
Also I think that long might exist because it is also illegal to be unregistered and selling those things and they assume that anyone who has more than a certain amount must be selling them
i dont know if im blind or what but i went to italy (specifically rome) and there were 0 bidets
The potato one: idk if that is _the_ _reason_ but you can make vodka out of potatoes. So it might be a law against creating your own alcohol.
Here in the UK it's illegal to handle a salmon suspiciously
Thanks for the laughs 🤣
So many silly / idiotic rules just in the States alone
Uk magic mushrooms are illegal to own now
Cannabis seeds are legal in the UK for use as bird seed.
The UK has National Insurance numbers that the government use for identificatio purposes, which sound kind of similar to Social Security.
You don't need to keep the card safe as it's not a valid form of identification, but you do regularly need to provide the number and you should avoid sharing it for security purposes.
Sweden has similar number, but it is valid for identification, but it's also not secret and is publicly available in online databases.
You might not need to keep the card safe, but it's incredibly easy to do so since it's embossed plastic like a bank card.
The absolute confidence dying during the buttfly one lol
The police not being obliged to help sounds wrong but is the case for a very good reason. If it were not so, police departments would be snowed under with litigation from anybody who didn't think they helped enough.
In the UK, it used to be illegal not to form a queue at a bus stop. After many years it was repealed due to no one ever being prosecuted for failing to do so.

Watched on voting day in the UK (4th of July).
I genuinely didn’t know that meter maids were still a thing, since I live near the Gold Coast and have literally never seen one
Do one on bizarre laws that are still legal/exist in the UK,
In York, the law states that it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with a crossbow upon seeing one, except for on Sundays.
However, any Scotsman caught drunk or with a weapon can still be shot on a Sunday, except with a bow and arrow.
Similarly, in Chester it is legal to shoot a Welsh person with a crossbow, as long as it is within the city walls and is done after midnight.

Paying a lump sum for your facial hair,
King Henry VIII imposed a beard tax that every man must pay to wear facial hair.
I wonder if that law about the water clearly specifies bottle? If so, just bring CANS of water, like Bubly.
