Do they issue a crustacean citation?

I once took a crab with double D breasts on a Greyhound. In other words, I brought a busty crustacean to a crusty bus station.

      Pumping your own gas in Oregon and New Jersey.

      [–]SumoSizeIt 248ポイント249ポイント  (43子コメント)

      The logic breaks down especially when considering the diesel loophole.

      What's the difference between owning a BMW 325i and a 325d in Oregon? I can pump my own fuel with the latter.

      [–]bobbydaniel36 138ポイント139ポイント  (20子コメント)

      I work at a gas station at South of the Border in South Carolina. Usually the tourists from New Jersey wonder why I can't pump their gas. I have to tell them it's legal for them to pump their own gas here.

        Throwing away junk mail that's addressed by name to the previous resident of your current address.

        What are you supposed to do with it?

        [–]boxsterguy 113ポイント114ポイント  (21子コメント)

        Write on the letter something like "No longer at this address" and put it back in the mailbox for the postman to pick up and reroute (probably right back to you).

        I just throw them away. It's been 12 years since I bought my house. If the previous owners can't get their shit together in that amount of time, it's no longer my problem.

        You did your part, then. If the mailman didn't pick it up, and it somehow blows out of the box and into the trash when you get your mail the next day, well ... nothing you could've stopped.

                Walking down the street and putting change into all the expiring parking meters.

                Yes, this act of good samaritanism is somehow illegal in tons of municipalities.

                [–]TheNakedGod 534ポイント535ポイント  (37子コメント)

                There was actually a group that recently won a State Supreme Court ruling in their favor after the city sued them for topping up meters. The court ruled it was a protected 1st Amendment action.

                The reason it is illegal is so no one can declare themselves "parking attendant of Main Street" and make sure everyone can park as long as they want.

                The whole reason parking meters are introduced is to make sure people shorten their stay (so more people can visit without having to park a huge distance away). Allowing people to fill others' parking meters goes directly against that idea.

                That being said though, while it is illegal in Belgium to pay for someone's parking ticket, we are now shifting to paying via SMS, meaning you can stay as long as you want. So the old reason no longer applies to the new system, people can now park as long as they want.

                [–]MrHibbityJibb 919ポイント920ポイント  (138子コメント)

                This sounds like the city wants people to overstay their metered time just to make ticket money. I can't think of another reason they'd be bothered by getting paid what they were due.

                [–]HeyZuesHChrist 469ポイント470ポイント  (93子コメント)

                I live in Harrisburg, Pa and last year they changed their parking laws in the city to the detriment of the citizens. They did it to make more money. They changed the times when street parking is free and the cost of a parking ticket went up. It was done solely as a revenue generator for the city and people hate it, including business who have seen a large decrease in business since. Some even closing and citing this as the reason they were unable to continue to stay in business.

                [–]freespankings 318ポイント319ポイント  (55子コメント)

                As is common with every municipality in America - The people living within them are merely a source of revenue to be squeezed. If everyone started walking and riding bikes tomorrow, the cities would come up with a way to charge for bike racks and extra sales taxes on shoes would be implemented.

                          It's iffy. Some say a snack, some say a meal. But in general they won't pester you too much. A friend did however get a warning while eating chips because she had already finished her lunch and it wasn't considered substantial food.

                              Thats something that bugs me about the US. Here in Germany its allowed and depending on the city, very common. In fact so common that you even have a word (Wegbier) for beer that you drink while you are going somewhere.

                                Playing music you've previously bought, at a gathering. Apparently it's only licensed for personal use, and you need separate licensing for public events. I played them anyway at my wedding. Thug life.

                                I'm pretty sure that's a private event, unless you let people come in off the street or sold tickets to your wedding to the general populace.

                                [–]Oloff_Hammeraxe 140ポイント141ポイント  (19子コメント)

                                By public I meant not a private residence, but a venue available to the public. I guess another similar example would be the fact that I needed a banquet license to serve my own homebrewed beer to my wedding guests.

                                Your venue probably had their own ASCAP license. You pay a fee to them, and you're allowed to play their protected tracks, which is most of them. You're not allowed to play a whole album though I think.

                                          They had variable speed limits on the I-270 loop in St. Louis for a few years, but it seems like they always stayed at 60mph. Even on a completely empty 8 lane interstate at 1am... 60mph.

                                          I never drove that way during rush hour, but I imagine they lowered them during congestion. It seems like it would have been more useful to raise the limits when the road is empty.

                                          Anyway, they're gone now, and the limit is pretty much 60 all along 270. Apparently people hated them... probably because they were set at fucking 60mph all the time.

                                          They would change the speed onthose signs when I-270 was congested ahead. The issue people had was that they didn't work to keep traffic flowing because they would be set at 60 while everyone was driving 70+. Then they would say oh it is congested ahead lets lower the speed to 50, but everyone continuedbto drive the same speed. There was also a small issue with people not trusting that the speed wouldn't change after they passed a sign and they would get a ticket for driving 65 in a 50 when they thought they were driving 65 in a 60.

                                          [–]vulturetrainer 52ポイント53ポイント  (50子コメント)

                                          We have these signs on I-5 in Seattle and I never thought about what would happen if the speed changed after you passed them...that said they have them often enough you couldn't get very far before seeing a new speed limit sign.

                                          In my experience, it often gets down to 30mph during congestion and it doesn't make it move any better.

                                                Highest speed limit I've ever seen was 80 mph in Utah on I-70. As soon as you cross over the Utah-Colorado border, the limit drops to 75 mph. It's a straight road with minimal traffic. I don't see the issue with keeping it at 80 mph.

I thought people on Long Island drive too fast, but seeing 75 as the slow speed on a winding mountain road helped me understand that SLOW TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE is definitely the problem. Always hated it, now it's that much worse.

                                                        Pro tip - sell them yourself to other students, not back to the bookstore. I've lost barely any money on books that I didn't want to keep by putting them up on Amazon. Take good care of them and you can get nearly as much as the book costs new.

                                                                        Edit: You have to understand the geographical differences between TX and KS. Even though we like to think of it as baren, Texas has barbed wire fences, utility lines, canyons... Kansas just has wide open fields. It was in my '89 Firebird, and I was just hitting the gas, speeding along to my cousin's house out in the country. It's easy to hit that speed when there's nothing around you to judge your rate of speed... besides, you know, the speedometer.

                                                                          16 - Can drive.

                                                                          18 - Can vote. Can buy cigarettes.

                                                                          21 - Can buy alcohol.

                                                                          Like, what the fuck? I can be considered a legal adult in the eyes of the law, but not allowed to buy a beer? I can be trusted with a 1-ton high-speed death machine, but not a cigar?

                                                                          All fucked up. (I'm not sure where the various sex/porn/consent shit falls on this list, but I'm sure it's stupid.)

                                                                          [–]Macismyname 114ポイント115ポイント  (7子コメント)

                                                                          I was 17 and in the Army, we did TIPA training (Trafficking in persons awareness) which tells us about Human trafficking and child soldiering. It was overall one of the better stupid Army annual training's, but in it they mention that the US defines any country that has soldiers under the age of 18 are guilty of child soldiering.

                                                                          As a 17 year old in uniform this was very confusing, but it's very relevant to the US laws double standards regarding age.

                                                                          [–]Vestarne 487ポイント488ポイント  (73子コメント)

They changed the law to buy it from 16 to 18 however never bothered to change the age you're allowed to smoke, I guess cause if they can't buy it they can't smoke it

If I'm in a 100 KPH zone and sitting behind a caravan that is on 96 most of the way, and goes even slower on corners and such where I CAN'T overtake, I am not going to sit at a perfect 100kph and crawl past at the rate of 4kph (which would take I guess about 30 seconds if allowing for 50 odd metres), which at 100kph ends up being about 800 metres to overtake? Screw that!

                                                                                            [–]TigerlillyGastro 351ポイント352ポイント  (23子コメント)

Another one that gets used in these circumstances is section 2 of the protection from harassment act. in this case you don't even need to swear, if someone tells you to stop bothering them and you persist you can be locked up for it. This was introduced to protect vulnerable people from obnoxious dickheads but is now being used as a tool to suppress public dissent. You pitch up and protest about whatever you want to kick off about and they tell you to move on, if you carry on you are now classed as harassing them and can be arrested for it. Chances are you will not be prosecuted, but it is a useful legal tool for targeting mob leaders and removing them.

                                                                                                          You'll be warned once if you're lucky and the it's a section 5 public order offence. It's not like they try and catch people who've sworn in public before but if you're currently causing a disturbance with foul language, you'll likely be arrested after a warning.

                                                                                                          You can however invite a policeman into your own home and call him a cunt as long as you do it quietly enough so as not to disturb neighbours... Good luck with that though.

If I was talking about how shit my phone signal was and what a fucking joke the customer service at the network was, for example, I wouldn't be arrested for that. You might get a stern word if you were being loud and vulgar but you'd probably have to be earshot of small children and policemen at the same time, how likely is that.

You know how you go to a big city the first time and you get stuck in the pedestrian crush and you don't know how to navigate dense foot-traffic? People get annoyed 'cause they're trying to squeeze around you while you check maps and read signs and whatnot?

                                                                                                                          That was jaywalking. "Jay" meaning a country bumpkin.

The judge or lawyers will then say "okay, you can press charges and get this poor guy put on a list, but I will charge your daughter with fornication and she'll be in the list as well." I can't imagine a judge doing this for a 16 year old and her 25 year old boyfriend, but you get the idea. Not sure how true this is but I've heard it a couple of times, on reddit...

I'm sure the specifics vary, like if you were 18 and having sex with a 13 yo., might be pushing it, but 18 and having sex with a 17 yo. would be ok.

                                                                                                                                      Basically, you're never going to get in trouble for it, but if you wanted to be a real dick, the ruling back in July(?) gives plenty of scope to do so.

We were driving in from out of state and had the entire trunk full of liquor. We felt REALLY illegal, but apparently it happens all the time since some places are like 3 hours to the nearest non-dry county and people really stock up.

There are even idiotic laws where in Pennsylvania, if you are a resident, you can not buy or display fireworks without a permit, but if you are a non-resident, you can buy and display all the fucking fireworks you want. The kicker? In all surrounding states, fireworks are illegal to have at all. This results in being arrested. Proof: Was arrested trying to bring fireworks home from a trip. Lost my car, lost the fireworks, had to go to court in Staten Island. UGH. EDIT: Not all surrounding states. All Surrounding states EXCEPT Ohio.

So at the time of purchase you are required to sign a form promising you will take them out of state before setting them off. This requirement to sign this statement was called the Liar's Law, for obvious reasons. It was so stupid they recently repealed it. Now when you buy fireworks in Ohio, you don't have to sign a form promising not to set them off in state. It's STILL ILLEGAL to do so. You are just no longer legally required to sign a form promising not to break the law.

                                                                                                                                                                      i double checked, and i was only partly right. its apprently in Chesterfield, you can shoot a Welshman with a longbow after midnight, but not on a sunday if he is in a cathedral.

                                                                                                                                                                      also, i didnt say kill, i said shoot, so stop mentioning the murder laws. i didnt say to kill him, just shoot!

                                                                                                                                                                      In addition, many (but not all) emulators need a BIOS in order to work, therefore you need to get the BIOS, which is usually protected by copyright law. Exception, for instance game boy emulator BIOS's don't do a lot of interesting stuff on emulators (such as clearing video ram) so these emulators just start 'as if' the bios is already run, not needing it in the process. This makes the distribution of such emulators much easier.

                                                                                                                                                                        I once chased a guy out of my own house with a hammer and then called the police to report the intrusion. They told me if I had struck him (while still in my house) I would have been charged with something like assault with a deadly weapon. I asked what I should have done and they said "run out of the back, your property is worth less than their life".

                                                                                                                                                                        Like I said, pussies.

Of course, common sense still applies, but if you see an intruder in your own house that doesn't immediately flee upon realizing you are there, you are free to open fire without warning and without waiting for the intruder(s) to attack you.

                                                                                                                                                                        That's the point of Castle Doctrine.

                                                                                                                                                                        [–]Kyosama66 488ポイント489ポイント  (99子コメント)

Which basically means if they don't immediately flee upon seeing you, you can feel afraid they're going to hurt you or steal something.

That saw my car out front, they know I'm here, they came in any how knowing full well I may wake up an then would have to 'deal' with me. I pro people's lives but I shouldn't have to assume he won't harm me if given the th chance.

Have a 16 year old sister. All her friends dress like their my age or older (and look it). One time I went to drop her off downtown and saw a hot ass chick I was thinking about starting a conversation with after I dropped my sister off. Let my sister out of the car, she runs to the hot ass chick her 15 year old friend.
