Laws are necessary in every nation to protect the rights of its citizens. However, sometimes they go too far.This is a list of the worst laws and policies that exist or used to exist in different parts of the world. Vote for the law that you don't approve of. Thank you.
Could they go out of town to do it the first time?
I wouldn't even have sex if I lived there.
Thankfully, this law was finally repealed in June 2018 after many protests and petitions from various women's rights organizations there.
It's surprising that they were still backward well into the 2010s.
Yes, there was a time when chewing gum was banned in Singapore because it could lead to "mischief-making," like "putting chewing gum on our subway train doors so that they don't open." A single piece of gum could land you a fine of $1,000. Do it a second time, and you'll owe the state $2,000. A third time means you'll be forced into hard labor, cleaning the streets while wearing a sign that says, "I'm a litterer."
It's a shame because chewing gum can actually be a great way to activate your metabolism.
If I was forced to get married, I would live here because my birthdays are so underrated, and I don't receive enough birthday recognition.
Yikes, going to prison just for forgetting your wife's birthday?
I suspect it's just Polynesian culture. It's not the worst, really, but it is a bit odd if I do say so myself.
It's true. Merchandise based on the cartoon character "Winnie the Pooh" is banned specifically in the area of Tuszyn, Poland. Why? Because that character has been labeled as an "inappropriate hermaphrodite" for not wearing pants and lacking gender-specific genitalia.
Jeez... SJWs are starting to poison Poland as well.
How is Winnie the Pooh inappropriate just because he doesn't wear pants? He's an animal.
Psychopaths Ethically Terminating Animals have taken it way too far.
How about lions? Or gorillas? Or dolphins?
And I was beginning to like the place.
Really? I'll have to get a xenomorph.
The Newcomers
At Lake Balaton, a lot of people feed the ducks inappropriate things like bread and biscuits.
Not only is it illegal to feed the animals some refer to as "the rats of the sky," but San Francisco even created an entire webpage highlighting the "dozens" of reasons why. (Hint: So. Much. Poop.)
What's the punishment? Going to jail? Also, what if you dropped some food accidentally and they eat it? Is that still breaking the law?
Uh, this was an absolutely stupid idea, but it's not really a law "around the world" given the other entries on this list.
Wait till the cats in Washington start a #MeToo movement of their own.
Why would you do this in the first place?
Another weird one in the UK, and possibly elsewhere. You can take photos of someone without their permission, and they count as your intellectual property. As a result, that person can be sued for posting your photo of them.
