Dumb Law's Cont.

Now there are laws that are actually useful and logical but then there are those laws that are just like, "What the heck!?" Last blog I posted some of the craziest up surd laws in the U.S. As I went through I thought to myself, if law-makers didn't spend so much time making some of these dumb laws, then maybe they could concentrate on laws that actually make sense and could protect people.

While in Maryland there were some laughable laws, some of them actually did make somewhat sense. Supposedly in Baltimore it is illegal to take a lion to the movies. Now in reality, who would really take a lion to the movies? And if someone actually did happen to for some weird reason, theres no need to make a law out of it.

In Cumblerland, it is illegal to use profane language on a playground. Now this one actually does make sense. Most people that are on a playground are young children. It's not really respectful to use crude language on a playground in front of the younger children.

In Rockville, citizens are not allowed to swim in public fountains. Again, this one actually does make sense. It's not only dangerous but it's also private property.

Some of the laws that I read might have in fact been totally not true, but if they were it was a ridiculous amount of time to make them.
