    I had a friend who drove to the bar and got drunk. He decided to be responsible and walk the couple of miles back to his house at 2AM. A cop pulled him over and gave him a ticket for being drunk in public when there was literally nobody else around. So my man had to go to court for being responsible and doing something people have done as long as we've been around, walking home drunk.

And many ride shares won't pick you up if you are drunk even though they have cleaning fees. Plus, you can't even sleep it off in your car because that's considered a DUI. Wild.

    Regarding the whistling underwater, there are whistles, like the Storm Whistle, which work underwater and can be heard underwater if used on the surface, which are marketed to scuba divers as a safety device to be able to alert other divers. They're actually against the law to use underwater in several east coast states because of concern from whale activists.

    There IS a reason for the ice cream cone in the pocket rule. Actually, a really good one.
    Horse thieves realized that they could get around the horse stealing laws by putting a sweet treat, such as an ice cream cone in their pocket and using it to lure the horse home. If they were caught, they'd just say that horse followed them on its own, so they weren't really stealing it.

      In many states, if an animal (such as a horse) followed you home, you could legally keep it. However, you could not actively tempt the animal into following. Horses love the salt content of ice cream, so sticking ice cream in your back pocket would trick the horse into following you, without you being "active" in the endeavor.

Local city officials were afraid they would lose all records because of the Y2K bug so they rounded up everyone who were paying off tickets or fines. I had simple traffic tickets but was thrown into the pokey with about 150 angry citizens, many of whom were retirees in their 60's and a few that were 70+. We weren't allowed to bond out and tickets could not be paid off until the judge showed up for work the next day. We had people sleeping in hallways and in unused rooms of the ancient,dilapidated building the jail was in. It was a mess to say the least.

So actually you could boat from the Atlantic in Nova Scotia to halfway down Vermont in White Hall N.Y, then take a canal to the Hudson and go back to the Atlantic in New York City.. Lake Champlain is so big they even have their own "Loch Ness Monster", Champ. Vermont isn't land locked.

    In Texas it is illegal to carry a pair of pliers in your hip pocket. It's a little out of date. But it makes sense. Cattle ranchers would drive the herds to the trains/market while farmers tried to protect their crops. The farmers fenced the crops to keep cattle from destroying them. Ranchers would use the cutting section of pliers to cut the fences of farmers and drive herds across the farms. This destroyed the crops. Thus the restriction of pliers in the hip pocket.

    I live about an hour away from Chico, California and that law was passed in the 1980s during the "heat" of the cold war. Chico was not the only one to pass nuclear prohibition laws in California and other states. Rumor has it that farmlands were wanted for research, development, and test sites and we up here are nothing but farmlands, so the citizens in this area back in the 1980s passed laws to prohibit not only the possession of nuclear weapons in this area, but also any research and development of nuclear products unless it was for medical purposes.

The light had been a flashing yellow (caution, not stop) for years and as soon as they changed it to a full stop (solid red, not flashing yellow) this small-town police officer no doubt thought it would be funny to catch locals in the middle of the night.

But if it's still on the books it has to be followed even though it is an extremely dangerous practice that can have fatal consequences. The first person to do it and try to fight it in court I can guarantee would bring about the repeal of that law.

    The law against stealing grease is because people were stealing the used fryer grease from restaurants. Used fryer oil is used to create bio-diesel fuel for cars and people were stealing it to run their cars. Some businesses have installed systems that allow them to filter the used oil and use it to heat the building.
    The ice cream cone law came about because there was not enough places to tie up horses outside a church and thieves would stick an ice cream cone in a back pocket to lure horses away from the church so they could steal the horses. The horses would follow the their away from the church and then the their could take the horse with much less chance of being caught. Stealing a horse in the 1800s in the United States usually resulted in the their being hung or shot to death. Hence the only reason to have an ice cream cone in your pocket was to steal a horse.
    The law against spotting animals from an aircraft in Alaska is because people used to find the animal from the air and would immediately land to shoot said animal. But the real reason is to prevent hunters from shooting the moose or bear from the airplane as it is unfair to the animal and resulted in too many being killed which endangered some kinds of animal to the point of extinction.

    There are all kinds of crazy laws in the US. You aren't allowed to hang men and women's underwear together on a clothesline in Connecticut. You aren't allowed to race your camel on the highway in Nevada. When I taught at a high school, I used to challenge my students to find the most ridiculous, archaic law in each state. We found some really hilarious ones. Some have been removed from revised statutes, but you can still find them. In all actuality most of them have a somewhat understandable reason behind them, but they were either not written well or the lawmakers had no idea what they were talking about. For instance a in the late 1800sor early 1900s a representative from New Jersey tried to pass a law for cattle guards to be given a gun at no expense. He had no clue what a cattle guard was, assuming it was a person who guards cattle. I don't know what they call them in New Zealand, I think it's call a stock grid in Australia or cattle grate?

    Well, I don't know about chickens crossing the road. But my brother was a county deputy sheriff when there was a car crash that broke down a fence to a turkey farm. Everyone was OK, but more than 150 turkeys ran wild. Capturing (or at least shooing) the turkeys back to the farm was a massive undertaking. My brother counted 14 pink blobs on the pavement, and there were a half dozen cars in the ditch to avoid them. He needed people - - so he got the volunteers from the Department of Natural Resources, the Deer Advisory Council and other local farmers to help. Also several deputies from nearby counties. All turkeys were captured, except for two. Wiley critters they were. One deputy got so frustrated, he finally shot both; then paid the farmer for the turkeys; and we had a wonderful weekend grill-out that next weekend.

    “Whistling under water”... sounds worse than “littering” in that “Alice’s Restaurant” song... And I am so proud of Washington because Sasquatch is not the only species in need of protection from poachers BEFORE being recognized as a species. My 3 pound cat named Madeline could have used such protections in 2019. Maybe if New Hampshire had such laws they wouldn’t have been so eager to label her underweight compared to normal weight cats. Maybe she wouldn’t have been abused so terribly for jumping like a Savannah or separated from her family group before the links in her bloodline to meerkats could be established.
    When the police came to take my cats in 2019 I was upset,and they sat me on the porch with all these officers standing around with their guns at my eye level. When they told me they were going to remove my companions of 8 years I just instinctively put my hands to my head in disbelief. When my hands went up to my head they immediately put their hands on their holsters of their guns thinking I was going for their weapon. Not wanting my brains to enter my living room behind me without the rest of my body attached, I stood up and didn’t dare move my hands for fear I would be shot. I began walking away from my porch figuring if I was going to get shot by police, it was going to be in the middle of the parking lot where at least someone could see an unarmed person getting shot in the back instead of the head where my place on the porch would have produced. The police are calling my name behind me as I walk away telling me first they are going to arrest me for ‘leaving’. I am so angry and frustrated I just grab onto this sunflower plant in a neighbors yard and break it. The police then arrest me for ‘destruction of property’. Mind you this is while they are not done KILLING at least two of my pets ‘during capture’. Despite being able to plead guilty to the ‘destruction of property’ and replace the sunflower plant for the neighbor, the dog officer decides she wants to pursue more charges to deny me access to my emotional support animals and lifelong companions. The courts and the public defender decide they want more than my pets and my whole life at that point and continue to use the mental health system as a weapon against pet owners both my condo board and individual landlords in the park where I live,have gone after.
    Truth is I DON’T think animal neglect is a stupid law, until it is applied by people who are even more stupid, abusive,AND neglectful towards the people and animals they claim to ‘protect and serve’. That by far, is THE biggest joke New Hampshire has let me in on.
