Outlandish and outdated local laws around the world

Outlandish and outdated local laws across the world


Some of these look bogus to me, but here they are, for the record


In Milan it is a legal requirement to smile at all times, except during funerals or hospital visits.

In Massachusetts, taxi drivers are prohibited from making love in the front seat of the car during their shifts.

In Denmark, people are legally obliged to honk the horn and check for small children underneath the car.

In Thailand, it is illegal for anyone to leave a building without wearing their pants.

In Michigan, anyone planning on bathing in public must have their swim suit inspected by a police officer.

In Florida, any unmarried woman who parachutes on a Sunday could be jailed. Singing while wearing a swimming costume is also prohibited.

In Portugal it is unlawful to urinate in the sea.

In Hong Kong the wife of a husband who commits adultery is legally entitled to kill the mistress in any manner desired, and the husband with just her bare hands.

In Switzerland flushing the lavatory after 10pm is illegal.
