    Feeding pigeons is also forbidden in many parts of Germany. The reason is that pigeons are like flying rats in cities and you don't want to attract them or grow their population.
    Also, jailbreaking itself is not illegal in Germany, but you are most likely committing crimes during a jailbreak anyway. For example, if you take a prison employee hostage, that's a crime. If you damage the prison, that's a crime. If you threaten someone with a homemade weapon, that's a crime. If you steal tools you need, that's a crime. The only question was whether jailbreaking itself should be a crime, and the answer is no, because it's not a crime to run from the police, or to hide from the police when they search you. There is no part of the Constitution that forces you to cooperate with law enforcement when they come after you; if they want to lock you up, you don't have to cooperate or agree to that. They are allowed to do that, and they will do their thing, but they cannot expect you to help them.

      @floricel_112 Because if you buy music E.g from Spotify, you buy it for personal use. Thus, if you play the music for an audience, it's no longer being used on personal use and you need to pay royalties according to the copyright laws.

    About the German Prison Thingy:
    You still can‘t violate someone or destroy anything, meaning you can only legally escape if all doors stand open. Also, they can still catch you again and it will probably cost you all your prison privileges like a radio.

    In terms of the Canadian laws mentioned in this video, I’ll explain them both.
    1: The reason it’s illegal to climb trees in Oshawa, Ontario is because it is considered to be a suburban municipality and maintaining the natural beauty of the area is of top priority, therefore they do not want to risk disturbing the natural habitat by having people climb trees there.
    2: The reason a certain percentage of Canadian artists must be played in Canadian radio stations is to give Canadian musicians a fair chance at gaining mainstream popularity, as well as encouraging Canadian consumers to be more considerate of those creating art and music in their home country.

    Regarding music in taxis - isn't that a law everywhere?
    I mean, not specifically in taxis, but in general, if you are using copyrighted music as a source of income (either directly, e.g. a DJ, or indirecly (any business playing music to create more pleasant atmosphere for the customers, so shops, restaurants, taxis, etc)) should pay royalties. The difference is probably how specific the law is and how it is enforced..

    It's illegal to feed pigeons because what people don't know is that they are basically like rats that fly. They are a plague and bad for the enviroment, so it makes sense that you can't feed them because then you are helping the plague to proliferate.
    And the sandcastle policy is because in the maritime paths next to the beach where tourists usually walk, a lot of people made sandcastles (that were very pretty) and left boxes accepting donations. This is like playing music in the street asking for money, a artistic activity that needs a permit. A lot of people did it wwithout permit so they enforced the rule and now police is watching to catch people without license. But if you create a sandcastle yourself and don't accept donations or ask money, it's just fine.

  • @redeye4516

    I don't know if the Alabama one is enforced. I assume it's specifically referring to gambling if so, Alabama doesn't allow lottery tickets to be sold either so everyone drives to neighboring states to get them. There's a town right on the border of Alabama and Tennessee (pretty sure it's Ardmore) and only on the Tennessee side can they sell lottery tickets.
    I have come across a very obscure law here relating to knives though. Supposedly it's illegal in the state of Alabama to carry a single-edged, fixed blade knife on your person. This does not apply to double-edged knives, nor to folding knives, and there is no length restrictions specified so it's not to prevent people from carrying machetes since they could just carry actual swords instead if they wanted. I believe the law also specified that to carry one, you needed a pistol permit, the same one needed to conceal carry a handgun. However, a few years back we recently had the permits abolished in favor of constitutional carry, so I have no idea where this leaves single-edged fixed blade knives.
    I don't think a cop would stop to arrest or fine you for having one on your belt either, because this law is so obscure that any time I tell people about it they don't believe me. I have no idea why this law exists in the first place.

    3. In California it is very illegal to be a normal human being with actual rights.

    It bears mentioning that while prison escapes themselves are not considered a crime in Germany, it is still very much possible to break the law during a prison escape, i.e. by attacking a warden or destroying prison property.
    So if you wanted to escape from a German prison without incurring additional punishment if you get caught, you'd have to be creative.

    2:17 If you don‘t do other illegal things while escaping like damaging things or hurting other people, you won‘t get a harder punishment, so if they find you, you have to just sit in the prison the remaining time, which I, as a German, think makes sense. Because if you break any laws while escaping, you will just get the punishment for that on top 👍
