What are some weird laws your country has?

I live in a Muslim country so all of them

The windows of your convertable have to closed, but the roof itself not. Otherwise you risk that they take it to security “to protect your property”.

When my friends and I were 15 we bought some cheap kites at the dollar store and decided to take them with us downtown (we live in Chicago) and fly them. We started trying to fly them by the Art Institute/Millennium Park when we got stopped by a cop. He told us that kites were not allowed to be flown anywhere in the downtown area and if he saw us doing it again he would give us a $250 citation. It seemed kind of weird since both Millennium and Grant park, along with othee smaller parks, were in the downtown area, but we didn’t argue.

Years later I found out that it actually was an obscure law, but a law that was repealed in the 1970s. So, we were fine flying our kites and that cop just didn’t like us having fun.

TV licences in the UK, not sure if they have them in other countries too.

‘You told us you didn’t need a tv licence 6 months ago, but we’d like to find out again if we can subtly pressure and frighten you into thinking you have a legal requirement to pay us £130 a year. Are you sure you don’t want to pay us? Let us know if you would like to continue not paying us though.’
