Are you a law-abiding citizen? Are you SURE? While you may not have spent your afternoon stealing and murdering the day away, that doesnt mean youre immune to getting in trouble with your local authorities. As it turns out, the straight and narrow is a lot more winding and difficult to navigate than youd think. Just take a look at these ridiculous laws, all of which are still in place today.
1. It is illegal to own a red car in Shanghai, China.
2. Moscow weathermen can be fined for inaccurate forecasts.
3. It is illegal to purchase or consume whiskey in the town in which Jack Daniels is produced.
4. Students can go to prison for cheating on their exams in Bangladesh.
5. In American beer commercials, a person can never actually be shown drinking a beer.
6. A hunting license is required to catch mice in Cleveland, Ohio.
7. It is illegal to marry a dead person in France.
8. If both parties are blood donors, it is legal to have a duel in Paraguay.
9. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

(Although, I can still understand the whole “off key” thing. That’s so annoying.) Click below to share this list with others!
