Governing a big country is a tough job, and you are bound to be hated by half of the population you're ruling. Now, bear in mind, that the person on top, is also responsible for the laws, upon which, the whole democratic system is based. And laws are passed after voting of the Congress, sometimes public vote, and then an affirmation of the president. With these dumb laws, that we have compiled below, we're not sure, where common sense got lost.
Did you know, that there's a crazy law in Juneau, Alaska prohibiting you from bringing your pet flamingo into a barbershop? Or that in Tenessee you might be prosecuted for sharing your Netflix password? And if you're from Indiana that you are banned from catching a fish with your bare hands? It sure would be interesting to know, why these weirdest laws in the U.S. became laws in the first place.
Though most of these laws sound incredibly dumb now, once they've had, or still does have, a real pretense. For example, the New York law against people wearing masks in public places is to prevent a mass crime or a riot, since you don't know the assailant's identity undercover. And the Arizona one, about camel shooting prohibitions, stems from United States Camel Corps, an army experiment to use these animals for military forces. So there, as improbable as these laws might seem, they do have comprehensive explanations. Scroll down below for our list of weird rules in the U.S. and share if you know more of these!

Are they saying every single type of mask? Due to the coronavirus these days that law is shot.
An exception is parties and holiday celebration. However, in protecting yourself against Covid-19 you are breaking the law lol
No wonder New York has the most amount of cases of covid in the U.S. 😂
So if there's a wild fire occured the government just gonna let them die in suffocation? Or if someone has a sickness and doesn't want to spread to anyone, the government just want all the civilians to be infected too?
New York used to have a large Klan organization. Because the Klan used masked riders and thugs to intimidate others, a lot of states passed anti-mask legislation to give authorities another weapon to break their power. Not so stupid law.
for you kids wearing your spiderman masks, your arrested get in the car.
police: HEY YOU!! YOUR UNDER ARREST FOR... HAVING A GOOD hALLOWEeN!
Me - Yay! Trick or Treating! *Puts on Mask* Police - HEY KID GET OVER HERE YOUR GETTING ARRESTED!!
Makes sense to me.After they passed that law the Conviction Rate for Armed Robbery skyrocketed!
its also illegal to misuse someone pronoun in California ad that one because that law is stupid
We have a similar law in France, it is forbidden to wear an item of clothing that might hide your face, which is why we had this contrevorsy about the niqab. They argue that it is for reasons of security;

So as long as the officer doesn't ask you to stop it's not illegal?

These laws are very absurd and don't actually provide any real use (unless to make me laugh). :)
In Gainesville, Georgia it's illegal to eat fried chicken except with your hands.
In Czech republic was quite crazy law. In case a cyclist caused accident where somebody was hurt he/she could got a year in prison and fine up to 50000 CZK (nearly 2000 USD). Even when the only harmed person was himself/herself. Yes, you could get $1000 fine for falling from your bicycle...
A friend told me that some other country it is illegal to rob a bank with a bullet proof vest XD
