      You're looking at $350 in fines.

    • @ROGER2095
      @ROGER2095 6 лет назад +10

      You really have to wonder. Most (maybe all) laws are written to prevent people from doing what they otherwise would want to do. (I want to park wherever I feel like it - law says I can't. I want to beat up this guy who annoys me - law says I can't.) You don't need a law to stop people from standing on the corner handing out $100 bills, because nobody ever wanted to do that. So at some point, somebody wanted to go fishing while riding a giraffe and Chicago's lawmakers didn't want that to happen so they made a law to stop him. It makes you wonder what was really going on.. . . .

    this is the most silly laws i ever see(in Indonesian), because the laws is too directed to the ordinary people, meanwhile the government who doing a crime only get an easy sentenced.
    this is the stupid law i'm talking about
    1. let animal farm roaming in someone yard/garden can be sentenced $10M,
    2. parent unaccidentally shows contraception things in front of children can be sentenced $1M
    3. having a sex outside of marriage can be sentenced
    4. gathering buffalo can be sentenced
    5. a girl stay with the opposite sex to save money can be sentenced
    6. deliberately aborting the womb, including for rape victim can be sentenced to jail
    7. a woman who work over night and get lost be considered as homeless can be sentenced $1M

    In the late 1960s in Northern Virginia, while a neighbor was researching laws to deal with rock concerts being held in our sub division across our street at a swimming pool he came across an old Virginia law that is still on the books. All railroad crossing gates must be painted black and white because those are the colors best seen by horses. In the early 70's, the railroad changed their gates to black and orange to be seen easier by humans. The state made them change back to black and white as they still are.

    Some of those laws were not stupid, it is actually dangerous to leave anything on a window if you cannot ensure that is not going to fall, it can actually fall down and kill or injure somebody depending on how tall the building is. The same goes for skating and washing the pavement (it can cause someone to slip and get hurt) there have been instances where that happens particularly with elderly people and that's why they established that in the hours with more pedestrians of the day it will be illegal to wash it

    • @tichoo8255
      @tichoo8255 5 лет назад +1

      Danny Oviedo Alem. I think the reason you aren’t allowed to wash the pavement is because the water would almost instantly evaporate because of the heat. It actually is really a waste of the scarce drinkable water available in the warm months in Chicago. So it’s just a law to prevent waste of water.
