I am a retired police officer here in Michigan and years ago I was reading my criminal law book and found that it’s a misdemeanor crime to sell unripened green tomatoes, my sergeant told me to stay away from the farmers market.
In Maryland, it is illegal to bring a Lion to the movie theater. Lions can’t be kept as pets in Maryland, so you’d be breaking two laws at once if you commit the first one
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.
Just a clarification- the sunshine law in San Francisco is about building ordinates that restricts construction of buildings that cast shadows and obstruct the sunlight over other buildings in certain parts of the city, and it's the reason why some parts have strict height limits, particularly in the western residential parts of the city (especially the sunset district)
After hearing the one about making ugly faces at dogs in Oklahoma, I went to my two Beagles on the couch (yes, in Oklahoma) and made ugly faces at them. One of them looked at me like he was concerned about me and the other thought it was playtime. It didn't seem to affect their self-esteem so Idk.
If I remember correctly, the reasoning was because an idiot aggravated a dog so much it became aggressive toward him, and when he came by once when the dog was outside his fence, the dog attacked him, and his claim was that he'd been making faces at the dog.
@@boatmermaid6732 Not mine. When I go outside they start whining, "I want my momma." My cats on the other hand...I have no doubt they're plotting against me 😆
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.
Ya and you'd think you could call the cops for a ride but now days they'd still give you drunk in public the second you walked out the door. Sad. 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.
@@kiedragerl8119 not in all states. In Louisiana you can be in your car as long as the key isn't in the ignition. The cops park outside of clubs incase a fight starts but you'd have to be visibly drunk for them to stop you from driving. The strictest I've heard of is you can get a DUI if you're drunk and outside with your keys in your pocket.
In Kansas it's illegal to serve any pie Alla-Mode. A lawmaker in the early 1900s burnt his mouth when he tried this new craze called iced creme, so he made a law making it illegal to serve.🤣
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.
And for laws like sleeping in a cheese factory were likely to prohibit overuse of workers if they were previously made to live where they worked to keep the place running 24-7.
My grandfather used to entertain the family by balancing a live chicken on his head. As we live in Iowa, directly south of Minnesota, I don't know if he ever crossed the border north while wearing a chicken, but knowing him he would certainly have enjoyed trying to pull it off.
Don't even know why my stupid ass state has that law as they don't have people at the state lines watching for people to come in to the state with poultry on their heads 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another Ice Cream law. (not enforced) In Oregon, it is illegal to eat ice cream on Sunday. However, despite popular belief, and sometimes attempted enforcement. There is NO LAW, state or federal, in all 50 states, that makes it illegal to drive while barefoot. I have researched this quite a bit because I do drive barefoot somewhat often. It is LEGAL in all 50 states. Great video! Very funny! 👍
For the ladies' sake I hope that remains. Wearing uncomfortable shoes all day and having to keep them on even on the drive home would be awful. Not to mention tall shoes, which would make working the pedals more difficult...
Denzy says "Why make it a law if it's a robber? If he's a robber, he's going to steal it anyway." Smaarrrrrrt kid!!!! I'm on board with you there buddy lol. Cheers from Ontario, Canada!
Bear fighting and bear baiting was actually a really popular sport in much of europe for centuries. I forgot it made its way here long ago, but it's hard to think there were that many bear fighting arenas when that law was passed in 1996!
I heard about the whistling under water back in high school, like 1973. For the life of me I couldn't remember the state. I don't know about their reason for it, I don't remember that either. What I DO know, that's something NEVER would have crossed my mind to do, UNTIL I heard it was illegal. I couldn't wait to get home, jump in the pool, and see if it was even possible...Fun fact...It's absolutely possible....
The ice cream law that says you can’t have a icecream in your back pocket was bc people would steal horses in the western days that way so they made it a law! I guess you can walk away nonchalantly while the horse follows you to get the ice cream😂
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.
In Pennsylvania there is a law where you cannot sing in the shower and that you also cannot live in a refrigerator. It’s odd but also funny. I also love how the guy presenting the video is also having a hard time keeping in his laughter.
To be fair , my home town is in the extreme northeast of New York on the shore of Lake Champlain and I also grew up in Vermont. Lake Champlain between N.Y and Vermont is huge, and goes up into Canada connecting to the St. Lawrence Seaway . 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.
My adventure was all about the Y2K bug instead of a law. 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.
That was fun and ridiculous at the same time. I'm originally from Ga., so I knew about the one about eating chicken. Although, I would say it depends on how it's cooked. Fried chicken, most definitely eat with your fingers!! LOL Merry Christmas! Love your videos.
My local town in Kansas still has a law on the books that when you stop at a stop sign, you're supposed to get out and fire a shot into the air, lol. Obviously, it's not enforced but they never bothered to remove it.
Similarly I have heard of a law concerning horse less carrage's... one must enter town ahead of the carrage waiving a lantern. (Don't know where this is from)
In Muncie, Indiana, it used to be illegal to eat a sandwich in a cemetery on Sunday. Not sure why only on Sunday but whatever. Also in Indiana, inmates who were released from prison used to receive an ounce of gold and a horse. I'm still waiting on my ounce of gold and my horse lol
I live in No. Ca. We often don’t get sunshine in the winter or when there are wild fires. Until today I had no idea my guarantee had been breached. I feel like I should talk to a lawyer about this🤔
There are a lot of unusual laws in America. As an American, some of them come as a surprise to me. One of them being in my home state of Oklahoma that says that all businesses are required to have a place for you to tie up your horse even though very very few people still travel by horse and the ones that do don’t go into town on horseback, they have cars and trucks.
Well, just put a rope on your conveyance and tie it to the parking meter, to the awning, or drive a stake into the ground. Compliance is 9-10s of the law.
I really felt out of pocket as an American with this one. Lol, I just THOUGHT some of us were stupid. Now, thanks to this post, I KNOW some of us are stupid. LOL There are laws that make me ask WHYYYYYYYYYY? Good post, guys.
Your laughter is infectious! I have never been arrested for any of these laws, but I was given a ticket (infraction) for making a very, very, slow rolling stop & turn, not coming to a complete stop, at a stop light before turning right, at 3 a.m. when literally the only people around were me and a bored police officer staking out this particular stop light trying to catch someone. 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. Ha-ha! .
Imagined conversation on street of a town in South Carolina, "but officer, it's not an alligator. It's a crocodile. You can tell by the pointier snout "
I saw a sign at the start of a walking trail here in Texas that listed all the things you cannot do if you see an alligator. One of the things listed was “molest it”. I was like, “who would even want to attempt that????”
@@twinkstar7738 Molest also means to disturb, interfere or annoy. Brain dead people do that to me without half trying. I suppose the alligator would have the same opinion.
In Kentucky we also had a law that said you couldn't carry an ice cream cone in your pocket. This must have been a real problem nationwide! LOL I actually saw bear wrestling at the Kentucky State Fair in the 1980s so it was still a thing as late as that. There was a lot of slobber involved. It was pretty gross.

Many many years ago cheese factories were small buildings in the country often attached to a house. It's illegal to fish from the back of a giraffe in Chicago. Jay walking (crossing the street at a place other than the corner) is illegal in most places but it's rarely enforced.
Ìn my city in missouri there's an old law still on the books. You can ride your horse into town, through town but if you get off you must tie it to a hitching post. The catch is there's not one hitching post in the whole city. Another law is you can't ride a city bus at least 2 hours after eating garlic. It's also illegal to fart in an elevator lol.
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 know there's recently been news of an elderly woman in Arizona who was arrested for feeding the homeless. It's rough bc she was just trying to help people & didn't even know what she was doing was illegal
There’s a sausage brand called Jimmy Dean, and they make BREAKFAST CORNDOGS! My family loves them. It’s breakfast sausage dipped in pancake batter…and you dip them in syrup. As you guys would say…SO YUMMM! 😝

I went through Military dog school in the Air Force in 82 and then was part of the "Green Dog" program training the new dogs... When doing attack training if a dog wouldn't let go of the arm wrap we would bite their ear to get them to let go... You had to be quick as some would try to turn on you and bite you back... Sometimes you had to bite pretty hard to get them to let go...
A lot of the these laws are so silly no one pays attention to them 😂😂😂😂 because anyone in their right mind wouldn’t do them 😂😂😂😂 I remember being in Elementary school and our librarian would read us all the silly laws and our class would crack up laughing 😂😂😂😂 Welcome to America guys 😊😂😂😂❤
@@Jade2016 ya know, I never read into why it's a law but maybe 100 years ago? I'm thinking it has something to do with when alcohol was outlawed in the US
In my hometown in Missouri, it's illegal to tie a bear to a pole near the courthouse downtown. The short story is that the mayor at the time (like a hundred years ago lol) was allergic to bears. Not exactly sure how he found that out lmao 😂
Another Missouri courthouse ordinance: I heard but cannot prove that it is (or was) illegal to fry onions within one block of the Adair County courthouse in Kirksville.
In the 1800's, the military brought 🐫🐪🐫🐪🐫🐪 to see how they would fare for military use in the West. When the experiment was discontinued, perhaps this law was born & the 🐫🐪🐫 were released to the public domain. I don't know how much is true, but my husband used to talk about the camels when he was alive & he was a big history buff & collector of trivia.
In California, a police agency can choose not to enforce laws. The weird stuff is still there historically but seldom enforced. They will use a law if they are looking to arrest someone just to get them in custody.
In the US, there are things outside of restaurants called a "grease dumpster", where used fry oil is stored until a reclamation company comes to pick it up. This used fry oil can be converted to biodiesel fairly simply as a DIY project and hence makes it something worth "attaining". The side product of biodiesel production is natural glycerine soap, which has also been in high demand. So yeah, the law makes more sense that it seems to.
Hey my amazing NZ fam, it’s Keith from Ty Ty Georgia here. The crazy laws about chickens in Georgia they mentioned cracked me up. The one in Quitman was funnier. Quitman is just about an hour south of where I am. The crazier part is in Fitzgerald Georgia which is about 45 minutes north is a city where they have wild chickens roaming the streets. They are supposed to be protected by law not to kill and eat but I imagine some people have gotten away with it. My mom lived there and you can drive through town watching chickens roaming everywhere.
We have a lot of silly laws on the books. Laws are seldom removed. I think some were the earliest trolls. One state legislature tried to round Pi off to 3 because 3.14159... was too long a number. Unfortunately, some of the silly laws still sneak through.
That’s not really stupid law if you understand animals, most often birds of any type, were used as a means to spy on military targets. Since the Pentagon is our military headquarters and houses many top secret things, they can’t take chances
The ice cream in the pocket, I've heard, was a means of horse rustling... the horse would follow the person to eat the ice cream and the person would walk out of town or somewhere inconspicuous and jump on the horse and ride it away.
I print designs on shirts and today I printed one that said “I saw bigfoot” with an image of bigfoot😂 it’s hilarious. And in my state we have a small statue of bigfoot (like 6 feet tall)

Grease is one of the more simple ways to make biodiesel. All it takes, is adding various alcohols and adding heat. Most biodiesel starts with vegetable oil(s), but animal fats can work also.
In NJ, and a few other states, it's illegal to collect rain water. As for the stealing of cooking grease, apparently there's an underground market for people who try to make their own biofuel. I remember an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation where a guy was stealing used cooking oil and found a dead body in one of the barrels.
Been watching you guys for a while now and really enjoy your videos! Whenever you guys do visit America and come to New York stop into Albany, NY. Has alot of rich history and one of the oldest cities in America. Also it's the New York state capitol

I saw a sign at the start of a walking trail here in Texas that listed all the things you cannot do if you see an alligator. One of the things listed was “molest it”. I was like, “who would even want to attempt that????”
@@twinkstar7738 Molest also means to disturb, interfere or annoy. Brain dead people do that to me without half trying. I suppose the alligator would have the same opinion.
WOW!! I live in Connecticut and I've never heard of these outrageous laws. Thanks for sharing.
In Kentucky we also had a law that said you couldn't carry an ice cream cone in your pocket. This must have been a real problem nationwide! LOL I actually saw bear wrestling at the Kentucky State Fair in the 1980s so it was still a thing as late as that. There was a lot of slobber involved. It was pretty gross.
I heard way back in the day that is how people stole horses. Get them to follow you with the ice cream usually in the back pocket.
There are many old laws that are still on the books as lawmakers rarely resend the old laws when new ones are created.
USA born here, all you guys will love it up here when you come visit!
Sam, to improve audio quality for the viewer, you should run the audio from your PC in with your mic, instead of only having the mic pick it up over the speakers. You can use a mixer if needed. Otherwise great job!
I wish many reaction channels would take your advice 😊
Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
In Arizona there is a law that there can only be one "personal massager" per household!
Baaaahahaha! I’m sad for Arizonans…they can’t have a backup in case of “mechanical difficulties”! 😂🤣😂
I live in Arizona and never heard that one
Ewww! Family massager? I'm totes not sharing! 🤣
Many many years ago cheese factories were small buildings in the country often attached to a house. It's illegal to fish from the back of a giraffe in Chicago. Jay walking (crossing the street at a place other than the corner) is illegal in most places but it's rarely enforced.
There’s a really good reason that Sasquatch is protected by the endangered species act
Ìn my city in missouri there's an old law still on the books. You can ride your horse into town, through town but if you get off you must tie it to a hitching post. The catch is there's not one hitching post in the whole city. Another law is you can't ride a city bus at least 2 hours after eating garlic. It's also illegal to fart in an elevator lol.
You should do a video talking about things that are different in NZ or what we call things differently
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 know there's recently been news of an elderly woman in Arizona who was arrested for feeding the homeless. It's rough bc she was just trying to help people & didn't even know what she was doing was illegal
I literally can’t express how much you guys mean to me love you 4 keep making more videos!💯⭐️🤩❤️❤️❤️

There’s a sausage brand called Jimmy Dean, and they make BREAKFAST CORNDOGS! My family loves them. It’s breakfast sausage dipped in pancake batter…and you dip them in syrup. As you guys would say…SO YUMMM! 😝
I was waiting for the ice cream one as that is in multiple states. The fried chicken one is a thing for sure as you may get looked at for eating it with a fork. It’s always best to eat with your hands. There are plenty more of these stupid laws out here and they are hilarious.
This video was 1,000% hysterical but I can't help but agree with "no ugly faces at dogs".
It’s amazing how many laws we have but a lot are not enforced anymore!
11:57-12:04 Yes! Thank you! Half of America doesn't have this logic!!! You are one bright young man! Please come live in America to make it smarter!
Here in Oklahoma and I’ve been making silly faces every single day at every dog I’ve ever owned😜. They love it! Still walking scott free even though I’m apparently a dangerous habitual offender😂!!

Mowatt get a tux cat make a face at it and they'll claw ur face off!
I went through Military dog school in the Air Force in 82 and then was part of the "Green Dog" program training the new dogs... When doing attack training if a dog wouldn't let go of the arm wrap we would bite their ear to get them to let go... You had to be quick as some would try to turn on you and bite you back... Sometimes you had to bite pretty hard to get them to let go...
A lot of the these laws are so silly no one pays attention to them 😂😂😂😂 because anyone in their right mind wouldn’t do them 😂😂😂😂 I remember being in Elementary school and our librarian would read us all the silly laws and our class would crack up laughing 😂😂😂😂 Welcome to America guys 😊😂😂😂❤
This was the most fun I had on this channel. I live in the States and this made me laugh.
I live in California and some of the laws are really weird, an example is "you can't eat an orange while in a bath tub"
So, someone is waiting for you to peel that orange, then arrest you on spot; naked or not?
Another good one is that in California there is a city called Arcadia, the law is "Peacocks have the right of way"
@@Jade2016 ya know, I never read into why it's a law but maybe 100 years ago? I'm thinking it has something to do with when alcohol was outlawed in the US
Someone may have choked once and drowned. It would be very disturbing to find them.
@@johnjdumas that makes sense
In Charleston, SC, no building can be higher than the bottom of the shortest church steeple
In my hometown in Missouri, it's illegal to tie a bear to a pole near the courthouse downtown. The short story is that the mayor at the time (like a hundred years ago lol) was allergic to bears. Not exactly sure how he found that out lmao 😂
Another Missouri courthouse ordinance: I heard but cannot prove that it is (or was) illegal to fry onions within one block of the Adair County courthouse in Kirksville.
@@RJ-mz3co I wouldn't be surprised haha
When my husband was a kid. He got a book called Cockeyed Americana. It had a bunch if weird laws in the U.S..
In the 1800's, the military brought 🐫🐪🐫🐪🐫🐪 to see how they would fare for military use in the West. When the experiment was discontinued, perhaps this law was born & the 🐫🐪🐫 were released to the public domain. I don't know how much is true, but my husband used to talk about the camels when he was alive & he was a big history buff & collector of trivia.
Its true.....theres some camels on private property in west Texas, that are apparently descendants of the military camels
@@juliegreen6727 Thanks, Julie, for fact checking this. I appreciate the feedback.
the kids are so beautiful - Nadine, you and Atlanta could be mistaken as sisters - she is a beautiful as mommy - may you guys all be blessed always
In California, a police agency can choose not to enforce laws. The weird stuff is still there historically but seldom enforced. They will use a law if they are looking to arrest someone just to get them in custody.
In the US, there are things outside of restaurants called a "grease dumpster", where used fry oil is stored until a reclamation company comes to pick it up. This used fry oil can be converted to biodiesel fairly simply as a DIY project and hence makes it something worth "attaining". The side product of biodiesel production is natural glycerine soap, which has also been in high demand. So yeah, the law makes more sense that it seems to.
I'm from Ohio and didn't know that police biting a dog was a thing since I've never seen one do it. 🤣😂
I didn't know it was illegal for me to walk around my home state with ice cream in my pocket.
@@russellhoyt588 even without the video I know that laws from Kentucky 😂
Looking up dumb laws is a pastime
I trained one of my male dogs to see me as alpha male by biting his ear just hard enough for him to get the point. Worked!
Because they don't anymore they will just shoot it instead
Hey my amazing NZ fam, it’s Keith from Ty Ty Georgia here. The crazy laws about chickens in Georgia they mentioned cracked me up. The one in Quitman was funnier. Quitman is just about an hour south of where I am. The crazier part is in Fitzgerald Georgia which is about 45 minutes north is a city where they have wild chickens roaming the streets. They are supposed to be protected by law not to kill and eat but I imagine some people have gotten away with it. My mom lived there and you can drive through town watching chickens roaming everywhere.
We have a lot of silly laws on the books. Laws are seldom removed. I think some were the earliest trolls. One state legislature tried to round Pi off to 3 because 3.14159... was too long a number. Unfortunately, some of the silly laws still sneak through.
That's funny since they never have a problem adding 0s to the numbers in tax bills. Those numbers never seem to be long enough.
New Jersey, in Bergen County we do not shop on Sunday’s only for food.
Speaking of stupid laws, I remember reading once that a chicken broke into the Pentagon and was arrested and interrogated because of it
That’s not really stupid law if you understand animals, most often birds of any type, were used as a means to spy on military targets. Since the Pentagon is our military headquarters and houses many top secret things, they can’t take chances
The ice cream in the pocket, I've heard, was a means of horse rustling... the horse would follow the person to eat the ice cream and the person would walk out of town or somewhere inconspicuous and jump on the horse and ride it away.
Train it restle? Lol. The whistling underwater takes the cake, however.
In circleville Ohio it's illegal to drive around the city center ( basically a roundabout) 100 times in a row
I print designs on shirts and today I printed one that said “I saw bigfoot” with an image of bigfoot😂 it’s hilarious. And in my state we have a small statue of bigfoot (like 6 feet tall)
Here in Michigan I've seen a few people get arrested for drinking and driving a lawnmower.
11:40 that's my city in North Carolina. Also, I didn't know grease was such a hot commodity.
When you visit, our family would like to personally invite you to dinner. We are about 90 minutes outside of Atlanta in Alabama. My kids enjoy your videos a lot. Thank you for sharing your excitement for travel!
Vermont indeed has a waterway that leads from the ocean to Lake Champlaign but pretty sure it's still a crazy law. lol
Grease is one of the more simple ways to make biodiesel. All it takes, is adding various alcohols and adding heat. Most biodiesel starts with vegetable oil(s), but animal fats can work also.
ill tell u this, in all my years 42. i think aussies and kiwis make me laugh so hard. they know how to enjoy life. i wish i was as cool as they are 8)
In NJ, and a few other states, it's illegal to collect rain water. As for the stealing of cooking grease, apparently there's an underground market for people who try to make their own biofuel. I remember an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation where a guy was stealing used cooking oil and found a dead body in one of the barrels.
This channel is so entertaining, I just love it so much.. Lol
IF you're ever caught whistling under water, just claim you were trying to blow bubbles!!! LOL
you guys are so funny...thank you made my day
I'd like more info on that "no biting" law. When set upon by bullies as a kid, I often used biting in self defense. 🤪🤷♀️
LOL I nearly spit my tea into the phone several times 😅😅😅
Love how Illinois was at the top! My state is so weird
Trout fishing from horseback is fun. You don't need waders and the horses love the water.
I live in Northwest Iowa anime can I believe some of these laws is that truly outlaw and I love you guys please continue to post
We've got a newer law here that just passed a few years ago and Kennesaw Georgia which states each household is required to own one gun minimum
LOL - I've never seen an underwater whistler.
Here in Canada (in Ottawa specifically) It is illegal to eat ice cream on our main street on Sundays
So excited to watch this❣️🥰 perfect timing 10 sec posted and I’m on it
