Crazy laws from around the world – is it OK to break these ones??? Since 1986, US authorities have had the legal right to access any 180-day old email, without a warrant. In Mobile, Alabama, it is against the law to throw confetti or spray silly string. In Saudi Arabia, it is illegal for any woman to drive a car. Right now, it’s illegal for them to vote too. In Thailand it is illegal to step on money. In Iowa, it is illegal for a man with a moustache to kiss a woman in public. In Britain it is illegal to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances. In Florida, it’s illegal to fart in a public place after 6pm on a Thursday. In England it is illegal to die in the House Of Parliament, but something tells me that if someone did do this, they wouldn’t face many repercussions? In Samoa it is illegal to forget your wife’s birthday. In Switzerland, it is illegal to flush a toilet after 10pm.
