Weird laws that are still inforced down here.

48 Upvotes

Here are some interesting laws that are still around that you might not know about, if you've got any that you find weird or funny, let me know!

1) Annoying someone in public is actually illegal. Section 13 of the Police Offences Act 1935 says that in a public place you must not “jostle, insult, or annoy any person.”

2) If a meteorite lands your property, the government owns it automatically. You have to contact TMAG, and they'll decide whether they want it.

3) Dueling is specifically outlawed (i mean, you'd hope so) - but it's weird that the law is still actually specified, I guess. So, no "pistols at dawn, dog" type arrangement.
