Weird Laws That Could Cause You To Be Arrested Without You Even Knowing Why.

What is oddly illegal in your country/state?

Can't raise a pig in Israel.

Raising a pig.

"I live in Israel. It's a law from 1962 when the country was probably far more religious - I don't think there's a way this law would pass now. The exceptions are raising a pig in zoos, scientific institutes and in predominantly non-Jewish and non-Muslim cities (so, mostly Christian), which means that you can still get pork in Israel, but it's only grown in a few places."

Buying/Selling drugs are illegal in Portugal, but it's legal to use it. What?

"In Portugal, it's not a crime to use ANY DRUGS but it's illegal to buy or sell drugs!

EDIT: It's also legal to possess"

Illegal to own Guinea Pigs in Switzerland.

"Switzerland - Illegal to own only one pet Guinea Pig as they are considered sociable animals. Services exist to "rent" one in the event one dies before the other."

No movies on Sundays for Northen Irelanders. Very sad.

"In Northern Ireland, it is technically illegal to go to the cinema on a Sunday. Police also have the authority to seize any potatoes if they suspect they are going to be sent out of the country."

Something about dragging a dead horse. Wait, what is the deal with Sundays, anyway?

"An old Toronto bylaw states that it is illegal to drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on Sundays. Still in the books today."

Didn't realize Scotland was so uptight about toilet usage, drinking around cows and... Suspicious salmon handling? WHAT??!

"In Scotland, it is illegal:

1. to not allow whoever knocks on your door to use your toilet

2. to be drunk and in charge of a cow

3. to handle a salmon suspiciously"

Must have windscreen wipers, whether or not you actually have a windshield on your vehicle.

"Apparently, it is legal to drive without a windscreen in Luxembourg, but illegal to drive without windscreen wipers. Presumably, this is for the benefit of bespectacled people, who can then lean forward and wipe the rain off their glasses."

Limit of 5 women per place. Except for brothels and graves. Why those places though?

"In Kazakhstan, it is illegal for more than five women to be in the same place except for in a brothel or in a graveyard."

Again with Sundays!

"In Florida, it's illegal for unmarried women to skydive on Sunday."

Just some weird law about pigs, along with a passive-aggressive comment about his ex.

"It is illegal to let your pig run free in Detroit unless it has a ring in its nose. Which is why my ex gf had to get her septum pierced, that shit was getting expensive."

Russia = No teaching kids about gay people Florida = No kissing wife's breasts. Okay, so it's allowed if it's your mistress?

"Since I'm Russian but live in Florida, I will tell dumb laws from both places Russia: it's Illegal to tell children about gay people. Florida: You may not kiss your wife’s breasts."

No donkeys in bathtubs. AGAIN WITH SUNDAYS!!

"In Georgia (U.S. State), you can't keep a donkey in a bathtub. It's also illegal to keep an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sunday."

No selling fireworks in New Jersey, but they buy them from a different state anyway.

"Fireworks are illegal in my home state (New Jersey). ...so everyone just drives over the border into Pennsylvania to buy them. Oddly, Pennsylvania law allows the SELLING of fireworks (they're available in every Walmart and supermarket) but you're not allowed to USE them there. In other words, Pennsylvania will gladly take your fireworks money, but you have to take them out of the state to blow them up."

It's important to follow the law so that way you won't land up in jail or... beheaded!

Of course, that depends on which country you live in, or which place you're visiting. Just be safe out there and remember...
