Dumb Laws of the Week

[/////AMG]

Here are this weeks dumb laws. Remember that these laws either exist now and are enforced, or still exist but aren't enforced. They DO exist though.

Philippines: Cars whose license plates end with a 1 or 2 are not allowed on the roads on Monday, 3 or 4 on Tuesday, 5 or 6 on Wednesday, 7 or 8 on Thursday, and 9 or 0 on Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.

Mexico: Bicycle riders may not lift either foot from the peddles, as it might result in a loss of control. Also, anyone who whistled at or annoyed a bicycle rider could be arrested.

Canada: It is illegal to kill a sick person by frightening them.

If you whistle at someone riding a bike OR driving a car in Alberta, you could get charged with stunting. (TSA 115(1)(e))

I don't think that the one from Canada is that outrageous. Its not exactly a law either - its caselaw under culpable homicide that reads that if you are engaged in a criminal act, for instance breaking into a house or robbing somebody, and that the victim or a witness dies as a result of your criminal act -even through a stress/fear induced heart-attack - then you are responsible for their death.

I think that that is reasonable.

[Phy]

I think the Canada one is just too specific, eh? Makes it sound like it's legal to kill a healthy person by frightening them.

I smell next summer's horror movie.

[vcteggy]

death by frightning

[eeseen racing]

[turbotrip]

^but what else can u do with ur dwarfes but toss em?

[kaput]

[AllGoNoShow]

lol.

Yah the 50 pennies is something that obveously isnt enforced, happens every day it seems

[BlueGoblin]

^ To say that its illegal is a gross overstatement. The Act that governs cash transactions just says that nobody must take more than 50 pennies as payment despite the fact that a penny is legal tender. There is no attached charge - the seller just has the right to refuse more than 50 pennies as payment.

This is to prevent, say, somebody who owes $20000 in taxes to dump 2000000 pennies onto Revenue Canada's doorstop.

Exactly what it is meant for. Or the dirty kids who stuff $2 in pennies into their socks to buy a slurpee.

It's not illegal to pay for something with pennies. Businesses have a right to refuse payment in this manner, however.

you dont actually have to use the attackers weapon against him, you could have a similar weapon and fend them off with that. ex: robber has knife, you pull out a knife. robber has gun, you pull out a gun.
