I've been threatened with the Criminal Justice Act on several occasions. Never been prosecuted as yet {touches every bit of wood in sight}

It actually states in section 63(2)(b) that you can be arrested if you are in a group of 10 or more and an officer of rank Superintendant or higher thinks you might be waiting for a party to start. So beware people; dont hang around in large groups looking like you are ready to party!

Personally I dont see who's business it is if you want to have a party on (a) land that you have permission to be on, or (and this one annoys me most) (b) PUBLIC LAND. After the last big one I went to about 150 - 200 of us sayed for about 6hrs after the music stopped and picked up every bit of rubbish down to the last fag butt and the police threatened us with 'The Act' on our way back to the car!

Anyway, rant over.

Ravehead - I've seen that before. Unfortunately hardcore is dead though. In fact I have proof HERE.

In Spain, it is illegal to ride a moped without wearing a helmet, however nowhere does it state you must be wearing the helmet on your head. Cue many people on mopeds with helmets helpfully hooked over arms.

I believe it is also illegal to send live pigs in the post in Britain. Anyone fancy testing this?

OK hardcore may not actualy be "dead".

In fact it failed to grow up. It should be dead though. It sucks in ways that no music has sucked before.

Hardcore (the new stuff) is one of the only types of music I've never managed to get into. I just dont get it. The old breakbeat hardcore stuff on the other hand...

In law school I was told that it is, or used to be, illegal to be an atheist and hold public office in my state (Tennessee).

I suppose the justification is that you can't be trusted to defend our inalienable rights edowed by the creator if you don't believe there is a creator to endow us with inalienable rights.

Without a higher power, the highest power is the state, and rights that the state endows us with are certainly not inalienable.

Still, I doubt that any modern court would uphold such a law if it were ever applied.

In Belgium it is illegal to appear as Santa Claus on the streets before 1st of December. That's to avoid run-ins with the other child friend Saint Nicolas.

Just to let people know

Vagrency and curfews have been found unconstitutional in the US Not all cops know this though.

Weird laws though

There is a state that if you check in to a motel with someone as man and wife then you are married even if you weren't before.

A land locked state has a law against whale hunting.

Many cities and towns have laws against elephants, donkeies, camals, tigers and other exotic animals being walked in the city limits. (usually becuase of circus mishaps)

A starange law to me is the out law of maijuana. But that might be just me.

This one was recently changed in the UK.

Previously it was against the law to attempt to kill yourself and it carried the same penalties as murder. This meant that should you attempt to take your own life and fail you could end up with a long jail sentence. (because that is really going to help matters) This law is one that relates directly to christian dogma... i.e. Only god may decide when your time is up.

The law has now been altered so un-aided suicide is no longer a punishable crime although it is still completely illegal to do anything that may aid someone in taking their own life.

Are You Sniffing My Mitten?

Ok, I've got a few.



In a lot of countries in the Middle East you can not eat an animal after having sex with it. Doing so is considered a mortal sin.



In Lebanon it is allowed to have sex with animals, but only with female animals.



In Indonesia you can be executed for masturbating.



In Bahrein a doctor can only look at a person's genitals via a mirror.



On the island Guam women can only marry if they are no virgin. There are 'Specialists' on the island who can help them with this 'problem'. For a price of course.



In Hong Kong, a woman whos man has cheated on her may kill him, but only with her bare hands. She can kill her man's lover by any means.



In Colombia a woman may only have sex with her own man. Her mother is present during the couple's first sexual encounter.



In Bolivia a man can only have sex with one person at a time.



And of course, my favorite country to make fun of, The Great United States Of Half Of North America :



In Arizona you can only have 1 (one) sex toy in your house.



You may not kiss a sleeping woman in Colorado.



In Hartford, Conneticut, a man can not kiss his wife on sunday.



In Florida, you may only have sex in the 'missionary' position. During sex you may not kiss the woman's breasts.



Also, it is illegal for a woman to go 'on top' in Massachusetts.



And, in Ohio a woman may not wear shiny latex boots because her underware might reflect in them if she is wearing a skirt or dress.

These are all real laws in Utah.

Utah law makes it a crime to curse on a bus
Hunting rights have been extended to people who are blind or quadriplegic.
Discriminating unfairly in the purchase of milk, cream or butterfat is a crime.
Prosecutors can seek death for anyone who kills an on-duty poultry inspector.
Then there's a whole body of state law that, if enforced, would put a sizable portion of the state's adult population in jail for having sex. For example, fornication (sexual intercourse between consenting but unmarried adults) is a class B misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Other laws: Utah state legislation outlaws all sex with anyone but your spouse. Oral and anal sex, and masturbation are considered sodomy and can lead to imprisonment. Sex with an animal - unless performed for profit - however is NOT considered sodomy.
Bigamy is a serious offense -- a third-degree felony carrying a maximum 5-year prison term and $5,000 fine. But prosecutors have not attempted to generally enforce those laws in 40 years despite estimates there are more than 30,000 polygamists in Utah. Also, polygamy - provided only the missionary position has been applied - is only a misdemeanor.
A drive-by shooting could get you five years in jail and a $5,000 fine, but you could spend 15 years in prison and pay $10,000 for altering the license plate stickers on your car.
Parents can give written permission to teachers to spank their children. Despite that all 40 school districts prohibit corporal punishment by policy, legislators have refused to repeal the law.
First cousins may marry, but only if they are beyond child-bearing years (defined as their 50th birthday).
It is slander -- punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine -- to falsely accuse a female of being unchaste.
Raffles are defined in the law as illegal lotteries. But this particular form of gambling is routinely used by nonprofit organizations and charities to raise funds.
Utah law still authorizes an "abortion litigation trust account," created to accept private donations to pay for defense of the state's strict 1991 anti-abortion law. The account hasn't received a cent in years and the abortion law has been overturned by the courts.
Night clubs may only be licensed to serve alcoholic beverages if they promise they are a real club or association, and not a business out to make a profit. Apparently, lying is not a crime.
The Dutch Oven is the state’s official cooking pot.
There is a legal maximum elevation restriction on the water level of the Great Salt Lake.
Birds have the right of way on all highways.
A husband is responsible for every criminal act committed by his wife while she is in his presence.
In Monroe, daylight must be visible between partners on a dance floor.
A Tremonton law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to normal charges, the woman's name will be published in the local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment.
Alcohol may not be sold during an emergency.
Individuals may not possess beer in containers larger than two liters unless they are a retailer.
It is illegal to cause a catastrophe.
It is against the law to fish from horseback.
It is illegal not to drink milk.
It is illegal to detonate any nuclear weapon. You can have them, but you just can't detonate them.
You're not allowed to sell beverages containing more than 3.2% alcohol.
It is illegal to brew your own beer. However, it is not illegal to buy or sell home beer making supplies.
It is a felony to persistently tread on the cracks between paving stones on the sidewalk of a state highway.
It is considered an offense to hunt whales.
You must have identification to enter a convenience store after dark. (Kaysville)
Women may not swear. (Logan)
Throwing snowballs will result in a $50 fine. (Provo)
No one may walk down the street carrying a paper bag containing a violin. (Salt Lake County)
Auctions may not be advertised by hiring trombone players to play on the street. (Salt Lake County)
Pharmacists may not sell gunpowder to cure headaches. (Trout Creek)
The Provo City Council has voted unanimously to allow cats and dogs to live under the same roof.
Pilots and passengers are prohibited from eating onions between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (Bluff)
