Prisoner: what are you in prison for?
Me: I held a salmon suspiciously
@@winniejung omg you're so smart
Don’t ask or criticise it
U cant go to prison for any of these you know
Ok but what the HELL happened for them to be like "ok that's it no more handling salmon suspiciously" in 1986?
There’s got to be a great story behind most of these laws. I just know it.
Someone probably held a salmon suspiciously duh
The salmon act is about salmon poaching. The handling under suspicious circumstances part of it penalised doing anything salmon you have reason to believe has been poached
@@davidhildebrandt7812 or maybe they just handled salmon very very suspiciously

My favourite one is an American law: It is illegal to tie an alligator to a flagpole in Texas. That means someone in history wrestled an alligator, dragged it to a flagpole and then tied it on the flagpole, before they made it illegal to do so.
But it says Texas so you can do it in other states-
Damn well guess Texas isn’t so great after all
Apparently there are some more involving alligators; It is illegal to tie an alligator to a fire hydrant in Louisiana and Florida. In Florida it is also illegal to tie your pet elephant, goat or alligator to a parking meter.
@@N4ut1lusSplatoon i mean, good luck forcing Florida to not do that.
@@euhm That would suggest that it is perfectly legal to tie an elephant to a fire hydrant, when you put them side by side. I can kinda understand the fire hydrant thing, though. I've seen photos where firefighters broke windows in a car parking directly in front of a fire hydrant, to pull the hose(?) through it. The car owner was also fined for blocking the way. In a video, a firefighter explained/showed that had they ran it over, under or around the car, there is a risk of it bending in a way that would block/slow down the water flaw and that is crucial to putting out fire.
What I don't understand is why they didn't just use "(dangerous) animals" in those lawmakings. I mean you could technically tie a crocodile to a flagpole, no?
Fun fact!
This was originally an episode on "Euopes most wanted" but was never aired due too it being to graphic and horrible to be shown publicly.

Being drunk in a pub is the weirdest law ever.
It's actually "in a public place whether in a building or not, or any licensed premises". It's probably a law to help the police help bar/store owners get rid of annoying drunk customers.
British police: what’s your emergency?
Victim: somebody whacked me with a salmon, played a ding dong ditch on me, and flew a kite in the park across the street!
Police: DISPATCH WE NEED ALL UNITS NOW NOW NOW

So, you can be fined £500 for walking on pavement with a plank, but you can get fined £200 BY THREATENING SOMEONE TO BLOW THEIR HOUSE WITH A CANNON. A CANNON I SAY
And £1000 for shaking a doormat. And I don't even live in Britain.

@@spaceinvader6 *unlimited fine*
@@spaceinvader6 wtf
They didnt threaten and also u cant get fined for these
I love how it's only salmon getting handled in a suspicious manner that's illegal, but not other fish
Salmon was more valuable and thus a bigger target for poaching
Salmon were generally from rivers owned by the toffs, commoners in possession of Salmon was thus always deemed a bit, erm... fishy...
It was expanded at some point recently to include trout. And another kind of fish, but I’ve forgotten which.
It's like it happened before....

For the cannon one, it also involves blank shots (without a cannonball). The shockwave from the sound could potentially shatter windows

Poaching.
"Section 32 of the Act is headed "Handling Salmon in Suspicious Circumstances".[2] This section creates an offence in England and Wales or Scotland for any person who receives or disposes of any salmon in circumstances where they believe, or could reasonably believe, that the salmon has been illegally fished. Essentially, this is a provision aimed at reducing salmon poaching by making the handling of poached salmon a criminal offence. Section 22 introduces a parallel provision into Scottish law.[3]"
