dumb laws
Dumb laws, also ''weird'', ''strange'', ''futile'', or ''unnecessary'' laws, are laws that are perceived to be useless, humorous or obsolete, i.e. no longer applicable (in regards to current culture or modern law). A number of books and websites purport to list dumb laws. These are in many cases based on misunderstandings, exaggerations or outright fabrications.
==Reports of "dumb laws"==
Laws presented as "dumb laws" are laws that are perceived by the speaker to be useless, no longer applicable (in regards to current culture or modern law), or humorous. There are relatively few real "dumb laws" on the books, but a large number of hoax or exaggerated dumb laws are circulated on the internet and in the print media.〔For example, among others.〕
Several books have been written and numerous websites exist on the internet purporting to list "dumb laws" in various jurisdictions (see "External links" section). The "dumb laws" are also often circulated via e-mail chain letters. However, two books, ''You May Not Tie an Alligator to a Fire Hydrant: 101 Real Dumb Laws'' and ''The Book of Strange Laws and Curious Legal Oddities'', appear to have been vetted for accuracy.
