Gotta wonder if this is for real, and if it is, what do you do on the off days? In 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 AM onwards to keep roads free of traffic jams. Hey, it’s a hell of a way to cut down on not only traffic jams but many other driving offenses. Think about all the DUI / DWI’s it would prevent… A drunk fool may forget what day it is and choose to walk instead.
This is classic, and I bet it is very real, can you imagine? In South Korea, traffic policemen are required to report all bribes that they receive from motorists. hmmm, I wonder if anyone ever has. I bet that law is good all around the planet. Mexico comes to mind quickly. “yes, sir… I am reporting that an American named Mr. Smith paid me 100 U.S. dollars to let him go, here is the evidence(100 dollar bill), please return it when finished with fingerprinting or DNA”
I found this hunting regulation for California. Anyone with a Rodent problem will need to pay for a hunting license as well as the exterminator because it is illegal to set a mousetrap in California if you don’t have a HUNTING license. Hopefully, they are not hunting for food. In Arkansas, schoolteachers who bob their hair are not eligible for a raise. Bad hair day is not an excuse. In Los Angeles, a man can legally beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can’t be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife’s consent to beat her with a wider strap. Consent should be given prior to the beating, in writing would be good. Texas looks down on Beer Making and bans the Encyclopaedia Britannica for containing a formula for home brew. Nebraska is all about manners, especially in church, if a child burbs in chirch, his or her parents can be arrested. Nebraska is also the state that takes haircare seriously, Giving a perm without a license is an offense. Wait… this is a winner. ANYONE who detonates a nuclear device in the city limits in Chico, California, can be fined $500. That is if the city is still intact and there are any lawyers around to pursue this. Who comes up with this crazy legal shit?
So what do the trial lawyers and judges really think? here are a few of the quotes from some famous lawyers and judges. Charles Evans Hughes, Supreme Court Justice
F. Lee Bailey
Chief Justice Warren Burger
Fred Rodell, Professor of Law, Yale University
Clarence Darrow
Roy Cohn
Felix Frankfurter
Adlai E. Stevenson
Warren E. Burger
Law Professor Joseph G. Allegretti
Judge Irving Kaufman
In Norfolk, Virginia, a woman can’t go out without wearing a corset. There was a civil service job for men only called a corset inspector. more antiquated sexism…. A Tremonton, Utah 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.
well, thats the question and there seems to be no answer in sight. I am sure everyone remembers the story of the LAPD officers who murdered, cheated and stole.. and got caught some years back. Rampart Division, and yes, a few of them did get caught but only after one of them gave em up trying to save his own ass. The charges against them were many, murder, grand theft, obstruction of justice, falsifying records and police reports (almost like an episode of “The Shield”) but most got off, with a few getting a bit of jail time. These men sent 100’s of innocent people to prison, murdered countless others and did it all to steal the dope and the money for their own profits but never got really punished. This was not some accidental misconduct, this was planned and a conspiracy followed to cover for them. Had anyone else done something so heinous for profit they would have never seen the light of day again or maybe gotten the death penalty, but because these wicked excuses for humanity were cops, most got paid leave until the official firing. So, the law really does not seem to apply to them. We see this over and over and unfortunately for every 1 corrupt cop caught, 100 others got away with it. This fool below was too busy playing macho man to realize the camera was on, and in this case, because no one was killed, the tape did not miraculously disappear as it happens with many allegations of police brutality and misconduct. The suspect in the room was there for a DUI. Now, if I was to electrocute someone on purpose for no good reason, I doubt, I would get a paid vacation for my trouble as this officer did. His punishment was paid leave… go figure. |
