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.
@@OneSetPiano you have to commit crimes to break out, but you will only be charged for those while in other countries the escape itself is a crime that usually increases your jail time
Indian laws have been stupidly strict. I remember doing a school project and hearing about how they just removed the laws about factories having buckets for the workers to spit in.
In the UK, it is illegal to fly a kite in a public place. At least I think. The legislation specifically says "Every person who shall fly any kite or play at any game to the annoyance of the inhabitants or passengers..." I can't tell if it means flying a kite full stop or only if it's an annoyance.
@@soulfullofcherriesso it's really a semantics thing. Any thrown object is technically a "missile," whether it's a piece of paper, marshmallow or an aircraft weapon. It's an all-encompassing term that just so happens to share the word with the explosive missile term.
Normal radio does not require royalties being paid in Finland in businesses since the station already pays them. But if you want to play music in your place of business from say Spotify, then you need to pay royalties.
@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. Radio stations pay royalties because they play the music for a wide audience and therefore you don't need to pay royalties the second time since they've already been paid.
Music license is always required from businesses, no matter where the music comes from. Radio stations do have licenses, but it only covers private use.
The Canadian law about 35% of songs on radio needing to be from their own country is pretty common throughout most of the world. Here's a hint for why it needs to exist: this video alternates talking about a country, and then a US state, putting them on the same level, without ever wondering if that's normal 😂
1:41 This is also the case in France and other countries, it helps local artists and prevents the uniformisation of public spaces. Not really a weird law.

You are totally allowed, and even advised, to name them "Zola" instead.

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.
Overload? Hardly! They might find this inspirational. Over there it's illegal to own a car unless you work for the government. And all citizens have to wear 1 out of 28 government-approved haircuts!

2:16 Technically its legal to escape prison in germany, but your jail time can increase if you break out, because of destruction of government property.
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..
2:16 While it is legal to try to escape prison or arrest, it is not legal to endanger others or damage property in the process. So if you escape jail by using a nail file to saw the bars off they'd charge you with destruction of state property.
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.
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.
2:08 yes but they also have Drake, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Neil Young, Carly Rae Jespen, Celine Dion, Arcade Fire, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Shawn Mendes, Nelly Furtado. Though the law itself may have helped with so many pop stars crossing to America from there
In the Philippines, in the capital Manila, and its surrounding cities it’s illegal to drive your car in certain number of days e.g. Monday when your license plate number ends in 1 or 2, Tuesday 3 or 4 and so on.
The Singapore one I can understand because that chewing gum is just spit onto the streets EVERYWHERE and it’s pretty expensive to remove so sometimes it’s just easier to remove the root problem
Not shooting missiles at bicycles sounds very reasonable in my opinion. I'm honestly more worried by the idea that this is legal in places outside of Colorado.

feeding the pigeons in Italy will cause them to poop even more. i mean, if you don't mind some extra mayo in your sandwich whenever you're eating... or maybe it's an excuse to clean your car more often.
It is legal to escape prison, but you would have to find a way to do so without doing another crime, like stealing the prison uniform you'll get, destroying prison stuff and so on
Here’s more that i found: 1. In the Netherlands it is unlawful to be breathing fresh air without a breathing license, hence why everyone is dead there. 2. If you’re an unmarried man going to a marriage without a specific black color suit chosen by the bride, you will be fined at exactly $2,345 and 8 cents 3. In California it is very illegal to be a normal human being with actual rights. 4. In texas if you go to a bar at exactly 8:32pm without a man with a gold tooth and connected eyebrows, you will be sentenced to prison for 1 year, 7 months and 3 days without parole.
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 👍
I can't remember if this isn't exactly a law but in 2009 because the word sorry is such a common phrase in Canada it was deemed that if you said sorry after hitting someone in a car accident it couldn't be used as evidence I found it The Apology Act (Bill 108, 2009; French: Loi concernant la présentation d'excuses) is a law in the province of Ontario that provides apologies made by a person does not necessarily constitute an admission of guilt. I don't think it's dumb but but it's pretty obscure
"In colorado, it's illegal to throw a missile at a bicycle" not an ACTUAL missile, just a throwing object. so throwing a stone at a bicycle's wheels is illegal.

about rule 27, i should mention that, while you won't get fined or get additional trouble for trying to escape, as long you DON'T destroy property or hurt people, the police will still try to catch you and bring you back because you haven't finished your sentence.

2:16 While it is legal to try to escape prison or arrest, it is not legal to endanger others or damage property in the process. So if you escape jail by using a nail file to saw the bars off they'd charge you with destruction of state property.
0:49 yeah isnt it illegal to own explosives like almost anywhere?
This law is in the USA, you can buy explosives. I'm just not sure if you have to jump through any legal hoops or not.
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.
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.
2:08 yes but they also have Drake, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Neil Young, Carly Rae Jespen, Celine Dion, Arcade Fire, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Shawn Mendes, Nelly Furtado. Though the law itself may have helped with so many pop stars crossing to America from there
Police! Is that fucking fish Jenga?!?!
NO!
In the Philippines, in the capital Manila, and its surrounding cities it’s illegal to drive your car in certain number of days e.g. Monday when your license plate number ends in 1 or 2, Tuesday 3 or 4 and so on.
To have a drivers licence in Switzerland, you have to pay a total of roughly 3000 CHF for all the courses and tests you need to do.
That's not law is it? That's just how the market works.
And it's not weird. Licenses and classes are expensive around the world
I love the density of information this channel provides.
The Singapore one I can understand because that chewing gum is just spit onto the streets EVERYWHERE and it’s pretty expensive to remove so sometimes it’s just easier to remove the root problem
Do "Every Videogame Genre".
Not shooting missiles at bicycles sounds very reasonable in my opinion.
I'm honestly more worried by the idea that this is legal in places outside of Colorado.
This went 'around the world' like most mainstream artists doing world tour.
All of USA, many places in europe
And just a few other countries
I got to jail cuz i named my kid brfxxccxxmn 0:17
I find 80% of them pretty reasonable, most of them do have a reason to be there
I'm watching from Australia 🇦🇺 and the law mentioned in this video about it being illegal to have more than 50kgs of potatoes since 1946 isn't enforced ( it a forgotten bylaw , which really nobody is able to break ) .

feeding the pigeons in Italy will cause them to poop even more. i mean, if you don't mind some extra mayo in your sandwich whenever you're eating... or maybe it's an excuse to clean your car more often.
It is legal to escape prison, but you would have to find a way to do so without doing another crime, like stealing the prison uniform you'll get, destroying prison stuff and so on
The Oshawa one is a bit misunderstood it is only on public properties that you can't climb trees
Here’s more that i found:
1. In the Netherlands it is unlawful to be breathing fresh air without a breathing license, hence why everyone is dead there.
2. If you’re an unmarried man going to a marriage without a specific black color suit chosen by the bride, you will be fined at exactly $2,345 and 8 cents
3. In California it is very illegal to be a normal human being with actual rights.
4. In texas if you go to a bar at exactly 8:32pm without a man with a gold tooth and connected eyebrows, you will be sentenced to prison for 1 year, 7 months and 3 days without parole.
Micky Mouse isn't banned in Romania
It says it WAS banned in 1935
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.
Listening for Darwin Effects in the laws.
"It's illegal to throw a missile at a bicycle"
Yep, someone did something stupid.
It's "OSH-awa", in Ontario, Canada. :)
1:52 the house always gets its cut
2:35
POLICE, IS THAT FUCKING FISH JENGA?
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 👍
In Poland, wearing a hat at home could be considered as rude behavior.
Suspicous salmon, fish jenga...
I can't remember if this isn't exactly a law but in 2009 because the word sorry is such a common phrase in Canada it was deemed that if you said sorry after hitting someone in a car accident it couldn't be used as evidence I found it The Apology Act (Bill 108, 2009; French: Loi concernant la présentation d'excuses) is a law in the province of Ontario that provides apologies made by a person does not necessarily constitute an admission of guilt. I don't think it's dumb but but it's pretty obscure
I think the Venice one is new. Because years ago they where selling feed to tourists.
"In colorado, it's illegal to throw a missile at a bicycle"
not an ACTUAL missile, just a throwing object. so throwing a stone at a bicycle's wheels is illegal.
In Italia, we dont want you to feed Venice pigeons because then so many come
sweden one is like how you can't name a folder "con" in windows
I heard that in the UK, you need to carry a sword to university exams.
One of alabama's laws: "you cant play cards or you will be foned $10 - $100."
Me: "What if i watch the alabama episode from Top Gear?"
Pretty unrelatable, i know
I always wondered why no taxi drivers played music from their phones. Now I know why.
The one about exploding golfballs reminded me of the baseball grenades in Fallout 4. Should've made it golfball grenades instead.
about rule 27, i should mention that, while you won't get fined or get additional trouble for trying to escape, as long you DON'T destroy property or hurt people, the police will still try to catch you and bring you back because you haven't finished your sentence.
the way he said oh-SHAH-wah killed me 😭😭
and im mildly annoyed that only you and i have pointed that out
@@musAKulture Make it three of us. I was looking for this comment :)
1:26 In Brazil is ilegal to let a vehicle you're driving run out of fuel anywhere, not just on the highways. $23 fee
Also, It's forbidden here in Brazil to not check if you and the elevator are at the same flor and it's stopped before entering the elevator. Not joking
