Mike there is another law here in México but aplies in some states that if someone knows you are in a young adults party uninvited you can be fined above 100 dollars 😮. I don't know if this is true but in El Salvador if one is driving drunk the soldiers are allowed to shoot!!!
Flip Flop Law is not only in Spain while not regularly enforced, While going through driving school in Japan I was informed that flip flops or any sandals were not allowed.
Pretty sure it's like this in Australia as well.
They are illegal in Canada as well.
Sandals while driving is not allowed in many countries and I’m pretty sure certain states in the US have it as well
Hi Mike, Texas also has laws regulating the time you can buy alcohol. Monday through Saturday you can buy alcohol from 7:00 am until midnight. On Saturday you can buy alcohol until 1:00 am Sunday. On Sunday you can't buy alcohol until 12 noon. You can only get hard liquor at a liquor store. They are all closed on Sunday, and during the week, their hours are either 9:00 or 10:00 am until 9:00 pm. You can get drinks at a bar until 2:00 am.
Yuuup I learned that the hard way when I lived in Ft. Hood TX (god I looooove TX! Born in San Antonio too)
Poland and Finland also have a zero tolerance to alcohol for drivers.
I lived in Oshawa for college and I had no idea I couldn't climb a tree 💀
Wow! I've lived in Oshawa all my life, surprised to see this one come up!!
No problems with the safety kit and fire extinguisher in a car, and strict
DUI laws.
We lived in a rental apartment, which
supplied a fire extinguisher in the
kitchen. 😊
I love in Arizona, the saguaro cactus is also federally protected cuz it blooms the Arizona state flower. Technically you can't cut them down, you have to contact a company that is licensed in relocation of the cacti. It is a federal crime to cut down a saguaro cactus in Arizona as far as I know, they must be removed alive
I also heard that there is a bird, I can't remember what kind, the bird only uses the saguaro to nest
Shh! Don't let anyone know but,I am an outlaw! I sing on the beach all the time. 😂
Love ya and the channel ❤
The no tree climbing in Oshawa caught me off guard. I currently live in Ajax, two towns west of Oshawa, and grew up in Whitby, which is the town between Oshawa and Ajax..... so yeah, quite the surprise there.
I grew up in Ajax and have definitely climbed a tree or two in Oshawa back in the 90s lol.
I feel like such a criminal now. 😂
Now, at our rental apartments, which
only allow support dogs, they will check dog poop DNA against a dog's
DNA to fine the owner. 😊
Ah Mike you always make my day. I love your happy attitude, fantastic narrative, and above all, I love your puns.❤
Thanks so much!
In Kentucky, you can go to jail for attempted horse theft with sugar cubes or fruit on your person
Yes, Arizona has rules about taking
cactus from the desert.😊
The unemployed are taxed in the U.S. too. They pay sales, excise, gasoline and property taxes on the same basis as those with jobs.
But, in Belarus, there are ADDITIONAL taxes or increased taxes for the unemployed. Taxes that you don't have to pay when employed.
@@Kualinar That is just plain cruel.
It's illegal to wear a suit of armour in parliament in England, UK
Well that's just spoiled my plans for Friday.
Hamilton, Ontario Canada: prohibited to throw a snowball.
😂😂😂😂 That's almost like passing a law in Vancouver that you can't splash pedestrians while driving through a puddle!
Luggage with wheels is banned in Venice, Italy.
Pregnant women can’t get divorced in Missouri.
Pregnant women can’t get prenatal care in Indonesia without a marriage certificate.
I guess Frankie and Annette can't make that next big beach movie down there in Florida. LOL
Some pretty weird laws on the books!
Very interesting list Mike and team❤
You are also not allowed to give birth in Longyearben, Svaalbard. They simply unequipped to handle a birth. Also by law, you must carry a gun with you anytime you're outside of the home. There is also a limit of how much alcohol can be purchased and consumed within each month. That is to help control the possibility of alcoholism.
I live close to Oshawa, had no idea
Same, just added a comment myself
In the UK it’s illegal to be drunk in a licensed venue such as a pub or club 😂
You mean anywhere alcohol is served?
@@nancyomalley6286 yeah
Being taxed just for being unemployed? That's outrageous! Not only would it worsen people's financial situations, but I also imagine that it would be a lot of work to enforce!
Great idea though, for making sure the people's stay employed.
@@leebrailsford251Which is nigh on impossible. No matter how good you are at your job, it doesn't mean your company will stay in business. And if one business goes under, it could be a sign of recession. No jobs available, you cannot work.
The US taxes unemployment pay.
I guess Jesus would be in jail over this
It's worse when your bank charges you daily for being overdraft. They know you're broke.
Since 1963, it is a punishable offense to harass Sasquatch and Bigfoot in Washington State. Hefty fine and jail time.
Is that why your mom hasn't had any dates since 1963?
But first you have to find the critter.
Who is this comment for and why did you say that?@@ChromeCobra420
True. The Champion of Hide and Seek lives on@@ankhpom9296
😂 I am actually from Oshawa Canada I am as I type this watching list 25, and I watch you all the time, every morning before work, I check out the "list"...and I grew up in Baltimore Ontario Canada, where we climbed trees all the time,I will not tell you how long ago that was 😊...though I live, now, here in Oshawa, I had no idea it was illegal to climb our trees😮, guess I and my kids have broken that law more than once lmfao!!!😂😅, thanks for the info ❤
In Indiana, you can't hitch your horse at the courthouse on Sunday.
In Victoria Australia, before 1966, pubs had to close at 6pm, people knocked off work at 5pm and drank heavily before driving home. It was called the six o’clock swill. Sporting clubs could sell alcohol up to 10pm.
22..You mean you've found something that's weird in your Home state, WHO KNEW 😂❤
Love the drinking law. Another awesome video. Always wonderful to see you Mike. I hope your week has been amazing. ❤😊❤
Same to you
Nice to hear "Capri" accented on the right syllable!
Here in Australia we have to clean up after our dog when we're taking them for a walk. But the fine is a lot cheaper here though if we fail to do so. It's only Australian $500
To add to the information about arizona and our cactus they don't relocate well even if done by the experts. They temporarily moved some cactus near one of our freeways to do work and they are not doing well after being put back. I am not a fan of cactus but the Saguaro is home to a lot of our native wild life so really it a big part of our state.
I heard that about Monaco when we
visited there at the Casino in 1979. 😊
I learn so much from your marvelous videos
I am from Oshawa Canada and even I didn't know we can't climb trees. Until this video and then checking city by-laws. Great research guys!
BTW With a nature trail through the whole city, and a camp ground in city limits, we have a lot of trees in the 40ft and above range.
How does someone who is not working pay higher bills and taxes🤔 . Always entertaining, Mike. Some crazy laws out there😀✌️
In Pennsylvania where I used to live its illegal to have more than 16 women living in a house because it constitutes a brothel
I think in Philly the law is more than 7 women
That's the Quaker sensibilities shining through: Anything not expressly allowed is illegal. I wonder how the colleges with girls dorms -- I know of a couple -- get around being considered brothels. Then again, the freedom young, newly-freed women experience are enjoying, I'm told some of the women's dorms and Sororities low-cost brothels for adventurous guys. Just bring some alcohol if it's a "dry" party and BYOB is okay.
My question is, how many dumbass laws are still on the books, but aren't actually enforced because they're friggin' outdated? 🤔
Too many apparently.
You're not allowed to walk your elephant downtown on Sundays in Kentucky and you can't carry your ice cream cone in your back pocket either in Kentucky
And in NYC, you can’t swim where there’s no water.
In Oklahoma if you pick up a woman in a bar and take her home with you and she wakes up the next morning at your place, then you’re legally married.
Also in NYC you can’t walk your elephant down the street using a string for a leash without you hold the other end of the string.
Well NOW how the hell am I supposed to enjoy my Sundays in Kentucky?
@@list25😂😂😂 Mike, you always crack me up!!
LMAO, Mike!! 😂
It is illegal to ride mules while Whale hunting in Texas and South Dakota since 1754
We're not allowed to wear flip flops while driving here in Florida either, so keep that in mind before you grab those new flip flops!
Not a problem for me. I hate flip flops. The thing between the toes hurts like hell
Killing Canada Geese is illegal. This includes accidental death. Though this is true year round, it is only the migrating geese that are protected. Those that stay through the winter are not protected. Since they appear identical, it is only when the migrating geese have left for the season that enforcement of the law can be challenged.
This is along Lake Erie, East of Cleveland and West of the PA border.
In New York, it is illegal to jump off buildings, as it will lead to jail time and a fine.
This is predicated if the jumper is alive.
I'm guessing the law was written before the birth of the skyscraper
Now, the "punishment" for jumping off a skyscraper is immediate death via gravity
Either that, or the next of kin will be punished @@nancyomalley6286
Some of the laws mentioned are laws in several countries and not just the ones mentioned. Like the one with the safety kit and fire extinguisher in the car, that’s a law in almost every European country and you can get fined for not having that.
12:43 actually, the establishment needs a permit to have a dance floor and be classed as a nightclub etc, but if you live in Sweden, whether you’re Swedish or not, you are allowed to get up and dance even if there’s no dance floor. Dancing is allowed without a permit. Having a dance floor needs a permit. It has to do with regulations such as fire safety stuff and the government just needs to know if you have the necessary stuff and taking necessary precautions, because there’s differences if there’s suddenly a fire in a restaurant for example, it’s easier to evacuate than if there’s a fire at a nightclub and we have had such devastating incidents in Sweden with nightclub fires with too many casualties. Another example is about restaurants needing a permit to be able to serve alcohol. It’s mostly so that the government will know which establishments sells alcohol to its patrons so that they can do undercover checking once in a while to see if they’re asking for ID or not. Oftentimes, laws are made just so that it will be easier to check if other laws are followed. The most stupid law in Sweden must be the one about prostitution. It’s legal to sell sex but it is illegal to buy sex.
Source: I’ve taken courses about fire safety etc and yes, you get to put out fires which is cool, but we were also forced to watch videos of such incidents where we had to listen to the screams of people getting trampled and burned alive from nightclubs where there was lacking fire safety and they let in more people than they had capacity for etc.
I'm so glad y'all are back. You may want to reconsider the music though, it's very distracting
Thank you. I agree. It sounds depressing.
I grew up in Oshawa. Guess I was a criminal!
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
In Boulder Colorado it is illegal to wear a red dress on Pearl Street. Guess what I did when I went to Boulder one day.
I live in Maine, where tourism is a major industry, and as such, there are a lot of scenic laws. For example, billboards are illegal here (in fact, I thought they were an invention of TV as a young kid, until I traveled out of state and saw one for the first time) and the McDonald's in Freeport lost a case where it wanted to tear down a colonial mansion to build a restaurant, so now the store is *in* the house. Also, outdoor Christmas lights and decorations cannot be put up any sooner than a week before Thanksgiving (something Walmart tried to contest and failed) and must be down by January 15th, although how strongly that's imposed depends on how nice the neighborhood/town is (lower income neighborhoods with less aesthetically pleasing homes can sometimes get away with leaving their Christmas lights up all year, for example).
Love your shirt. Maybe because I know where the topic comes from, it makes me feel smart.
Love the T-shirt, Mike! Go, DD!
A lot of these laws actually make a lot of sense in terms of public safety.
It is illegal to cut down Joshua trees in the Mojave desert in California
For my state, it’s illegal to walk backwards while simultaneously eating a donut in Marion, Ohio.
if you have to fine someone to get the flag flown it's a lot of things but pride is not on the list anywhere.
In the UK an old laws state:
●all Hackney Carriages (the iconic Black cab/taxi) should carry a bale of hay. This dates back to when Hackney Carriages were horse and carrage and the hay ws to ensure the horse was fed
●Its illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.
●its illegal to get drunk in a pub/bar
The next couple of "laws" im not sure of the full details:
● on a certain day of the year in Wales, you can legally kill your wife(?) with a crossbow. ●Your not allowed to carry planks of wood on the pavement in a particular way/state
●Not allowed to annoy people with a kite
3 It is illegal to peel oranges in California hotels....apparently I wonder what's that about
Well, where I am from, you cannot own untagged alligator hide. Thanks, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Saguaro is pronounced "sa-warro". I'm from Arizona. Love your videos!
It's my understanding that it is ileagll to be Dead in the UK House's of Parliament. They leave you where you are until business is finalised.
I actually thought that entry WAS going to be about dropping dead in Parliament
In the UK, it's illegal to sell or trade the common frog or its spawn. In fact, all UK amphibians are given some level protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, depending on the level of threat the species is under.
In the Philippines you have to have flares and reflective triangles in your car.
When I was stationed in Florida, in order to get my tunes tied I had to have 3 children, be over 27, and have my husband's written permission.
Killing a Saguaro? If you don't pay with a hand or eye, then it's eternity in hell...
Interesting video!
Mike "purchasing alcohol in Finland"
Me: wtf did he jus say about alcohol and fiddling?!
Yep. I'm definitely exhausted
Don't fiddle on the roof after drinking.
@@list25 Too late 😂
In Klamath Falls, Oregon it is illegal to kick a snake while walking on the sidewalk.
This dates back to the time of wooden raised sidewalks. The snakes would gather under the sidewalks and rest after a night of hunting rats and other rodents in the local streets and open businesses. Each business had open areas under the floors and the rodents would come up from these areas to feast on any crumbs or scraps that people dropped during the day. This law reduced the number of rodents and made the city safer and less prone to transmittable diseases.
I was watching this video, and at the end when you said you wrapped up recording at 2:13 am... well, it was actually 2:13 am here on Saturday, June 9th. Lol
In Oklahoma city you can't eat a cheeseburger and walk backwards also a women can't perm her hair with out a certificate from the government
#19 Pick up after your dog is great. They should raise the fine to $5K. Dog owners only pick up after their dogs when there are people around them. Otherwise, they don’t care if no one is watching.
Awww, man, you missed the "It's illegal to swear in Virginia Beach"
I live in one of these places lol, don't think I've seen the law enforced though.🤔
It is of course never enforced but the small town I live in has a law on the books : it is illegal to drive a horseless carriage on main Street unless someone waving a red flag is walking 100ft in front of you
I agree, drink driving is a bad idea, mainly because you can spill it all over the seats when you go round corners !! 😮😅😂🤣
Nobody listens to the law here in Florida.When it comes to singing , then you're being suit. I don't even think half the officers even know that
You missed the alcohol ban from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Thailand
in some areas flip-flops or thongs were seen to be unsafe in the workplace.
Australia also has a 0.05 alcohol limit while driving.
Cheers.
Too many truck drivers in USA wear flip flops.
The neighborhood I grew up in you'd think it were illegal to marry anyone who was not your blood relative.
Thailand retail alcohol selling times 11 am to 2 pm and from 5 pm to midnight,excludes bars and restaurants.
This law about the dogs good idea a small percent of dogs owners will pick out then and this should around the world, i have same owners put put Thiet bags of dogs in their neighbours bin. I hear one asking why “ I you your dog poo in my bin?” They reply “I not my bin to stink”
Is this place where you can't die, known as Svalbard, where the Polar
Bears outnumber the people. 😊
Here in Ontario Canada, liqour and beer are only to be sold from 10am-10pm and liqour is only sold in gov't stores. There are a few large grocery stores that sell beer and wine, the wine area closes by 9, the beer by 10pm. Small towns sometimes have a liquor store as a sep. area in a convenience store but is still regulated by the liqour control board and they must close that area by 10pm. So almost the same as the country you mentioned
Pennsylvania alcohol sales regulations got you all beat, but detailing it or even doing n overview is tl:dr kinda stuff. It was 21 years before I realized the next town over, just a hundred yards from my comfy seat, here, was DRY, with no alcohol sales or bars at all. It wasn't a subject that mattered to me until I hit 21, of course.
im in shawnee oklahoma in the united states and we have a law that says if your homeless its illegal to sit or lay down in the downtown area.
Oh an SC law 52-13-10 the dance hall laws are pretty good too
They don't care about the people living in Oshawa enough to enact the tree climbing law. What they do care about is lawsuits from people who fall as well as fine revenue from people caught climbing...or their parents as is more often the case.
I live in Oklahoma. Pick one.
The most shocking for me is You did not know most European countries have the same rules of bicycling as in the Netherlands!! Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland ............ just to mention the countries I am sure about!!
And the restrictions of alcohol in Finland are not as sever as in Sweden (Systembolaget) or Norway (Vinmonopolet) where alcohol or beer over 4,7 % are not sold outside Stat regulated shops!!
Kind regards the Danish Viking
there are laws about wearing camo or any Clothing related to miltary in the US to they just stopped pressing it so much but not suppose to be worn in the civilian world even if your in the armed forces
The law about wearing camo in Jamaica is not enforced😂😂. I live 30 seconds from a police station wore camo more times that I can count and never been arrested😊
4. It is illegal to blow your nose in US Maine. Yes. I can't figure this one out and apparently you can get away with it. This ''law'' is said to exist still from 1698. Some weird laws are so funny
There is still several strange laws in the UK including a hackney carriage (eg the black cab) should carry a bail of hay in the boot for the horse even though hackney carriages haven't been seen for over a century, also it is against the law to carry a fish suspiciously in certain parts Of the country and the silliest it is still legal to kill a Scotsman with a bow in York (except on a Sunday) and not to forget that's it is illegal to enter the house of parliament in a suit of armour.
Absolutely true about flipflops in Spain we aren't permitted to drive in any form.of.backless footwear there must be ankle strap at the very least. Its taken very serious by the police
I can't even wear anything backless. I even hate those 'sneakers' with reduced backs that are sold in the summer
I want a TukTuk! There needs to be a Tuk Tuk dealership in the US!Doesn’t seem right to be taxing unemployed. Especially if the jobs are hard to get. You’re just helping the unemployed with a deeper hole. Now if jobs are plentiful and there’s no trouble for people looking for a job then the taxation is a good idea. Keeps people from milking the system.
I need to know what the other 30% of motorized two-wheeled vehicles are, if they are not motorcycles.
Electric bikes, mopeds, dirt bikes? Idk good question lol
Whether they like it or not? Oh my!
Tourist must realize they are guest in that country and follow their laws.
