Some downright bizarre laws that could land you in deep water while traveling
If you are planning to travel abroad anytime, this is for you:


Quote:1
In Spain, some beaches allow people to wear bikini tops or be topless. If caught anywhere else without the proper attire you could face a fine of up to 200 EUR (about $237).
2
In Japan, if you want to dance after midnight make sure there is some light. In 2015, the law changed from completely banning dancing to allowing it if the lighting is above 10 lux.
3
In Singapore, smoking is illegal pretty much everywhere. If caught smoking outside of designated areas you could face a fine of s$1,000 (about $743). You could also see the same fine for tossing your cigarette on the ground.
4
Thailand is known for it’s partying but anyone caught selling alcohol outside of 11 am – 2pm and 5pm – midnight will be fined 4,000 Baht (about $123) or face up two years in jail.
5
In Greece, heels have been banned in ancient monuments because of the damage they were causing.
6
In Venice, pigeons have been blamed for ruining the cities famous monuments and facades. In 2008, a law was introduced that prohibited people from feed the pigeons and if caught could face a fine of 50 EUR (about $60).
7
In Sweden, drivers must have their headlights on at all times of the day.
8
In Honolulu, Hawaii, you might want to think twice before using your phone when crossing the road. If caught, you could be charged a $99 fine.
9
When traveling to the United Arab Emirates remember to leave your medication at home. Most medications we can get over-the-counter are considered serious narcotics in the UAE and you can face up to 4 years in prison.
10
Thinking of cussing up a f**king storm in Australia? New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland consider swearing in public a summary offense and will land you in front of a judge.
11
Thinking about busting out those new pink shorts on a Sunday afternoon? In Victoria, Australia, you’ll want to think twice due to a law from Victorian-era banning pink shorts on Sunday afternoons.
12
In Germany, stopping on the Autobahn is illegal and could get you a fine up to 70 EUR (about $83).

Here is another one for Hawaii.

If you live there and have a medical marijuana card, you have 2 weeks to turn over any guns you own.

In China, petty shoplifting gets you 5-10 years.

wow

CA started it at the local level and the 9th Circuit upheld it when background checks were denied. It will be the path of the liberal utopias. I said years back that it would be a big reason for 4D chess thinking libs to pass medical pot. Easy lists to maintain and unknowingly anyone who signs up waives their 2A rights.
