13 stupid laws around the world

Florence is one of the most famous cities in Italy. Tradition has it that the Western Renaissance was born in this town. The city is home to many historic buildings and hundreds of churches. Every year millions of tourists visit the archeological site. However, many tourists lose their significant amount of money due to the unique law of the city. The law is that you cannot eat or drink sitting on the steps or in the courtyard of a church in Florence. If a church employee or a municipal employee is caught eating or drinking, you will have to pay a hefty fine. However, eating and drinking in other public places is not forbidden.

It's not just Florence that has strange laws in place in many cities around the world, and most of them fall into the category of stupidity. Since most tourists are unfamiliar with them, they lose their precious money due to violations. Below are some of these unique rules.

1. Don't eat chewing gum in Singapore or else

In the world's only independent urban state, the government pays special attention to sanitation. It is so strict there that citizens cannot eat chewing gum on roads, stations, trains and other public places. If a person is caught cheating on the road, he is fined heavily. The smoking law in Singapore is also very strict. Citizens can only smoke at home or in certain public places. Otherwise, as soon as you light a cigarette in a restaurant, on the street or in a park, the police will snatch you. So be careful eating chewing gum and smoking in this city.

2. Warning! Don't feed the pigeons

Venice is culturally considered the heart of Italy. But tourists visiting Venice should be careful, it is illegal to feed pigeons there. This is said to be due to the fact that the population of pigeons increases with the addition of seeds. They then spread various diseases in the city. Pigeons are also banned in the famous American city of San Francisco. This is because the high population of these birds spreads diseases. There, citizens are encouraged to report the culprits to the police.

3. Riding an ugly horse in Washington

Local governments in some cities in the US state of Washington have made strange laws. For example, in the city of Bremerton, a citizen who throws his garbage in someone else's bin has to pay a hefty fine. The law of another city, Wilbur, is ridiculous. No citizen can ride an ugly horse there; otherwise, jail could be his abode.

4. Hang clothes Get a license

New York is one of the world's cosmopolitan, sophisticated, and technologically advanced cities. You may think that there are no rules in this American city. But this is your delusion. If you live in New York, you must have a license to hang clothes on the balcony or patio. If clothes are hung without a license, the local government does not hesitate to impose fines. Another strange rule is that no citizen in the city can jokingly hit the ball on the head of his partner. Otherwise, there is a penalty for this move.

5. Don't run out of gas on German highways.

Regular drivers know that sometimes in desolate and desolate places, petrol suddenly runs out. Then you have to take a lift from someone or walk to the petrol pump. But running out of petrol on German highways (Autobahn) invites fines. German highways are very long and no one is allowed to stop on them except in emergencies. This gives drivers a chance to drive at full speed. You would think that a sudden depletion of petrol is an emergency. But German law considers it not an emergency but the driver's fault. Why didn't he look at the petrol tank before starting the journey?

6. Don't make fun of dogs

In some countries and regions, animal rights are highly valued. But the US state of Oklahoma took over. There is a law that if a person bites the mouths of dogs or cats and sees them, he can be arrested by the police. So if you ever go to Oklahoma, treat dogs and cats politely.

7. Hey there Why are you sitting in the square?

St. Mark's Square is Venice's famous square. There are many roads. Gradually, hundreds of tourists began to camp in the square. They would eat pistachios or fruits and enjoy the surrounding scenery. But when the square became crowded with tourists, traffic jams began. The solution to this problem was to ban the "picnic" of tourists in the square. Now, if someone is sitting there, the employees of the municipality gently tell him, "It is forbidden to sit here." If anyone still does not agree, then let's go to the police station!

8. Do not take wax inhalers in Japan

Medical stores in Japan, Asia's most developed country, cannot legally sell allergy and respiratory medications without a prescription. That is why the common man cannot buy wax inhalers from medical stores there, but it is also forbidden to bring this medicine to Japan without a prescription. In addition, drugs that contain codeine cannot be made public.

9. Airport photo… Oh no!

Kazakhstan is a large country in Central Asia, where Kazakh Muslims as well as Russians live in large numbers. Taking pictures at airports is a crime in this country. The police can also arrest the accused for violating this law. In addition, as in all countries, photographs of military and government installations are prohibited.

10 Unknown law of Jamaica

Marijuana is grown in many parts of the world. It is an intoxicating herb also called cannabis in English. It has many names in Urdu such as cannabis, marijuana, hashish, etc. Many tourists and the general public do not know that it is a criminal offense in Jamaica to grow my Juana plant. If anyone is caught cultivating it, he faces up to ten years in prison. If you visit Jamaica, the main island of the West Indies, stay away from my Joanna.

11. Don't forget to have a breathalyzer

Khmer is common in Western countries. But even there, the driver who started drinking this miserable drink is looked down upon. In France, it is the law that every driver must have a manual breathalyzer. This device measures the amount of alcohol in human blood. Drivers found without this manual (portable) device can be fined up to 11 euros. Tourists coming to France are no exception.

12 Be polite

One of the major drawbacks of men and women who are fond of Western civilization and culture is that they rarely have shame and modesty. That is why they do not hesitate to show obscenity even in public places. However, Jesus always exhorted his followers to live a pure and clean life. However, Westerners have to be very careful in the UAE. It is also a crime for men and women to walk there holding hands.

Prison is the abode of anyone who commits atrocities in the UAE.

However, some Western countries have also banned obscenities. In Greece, for example, it is a crime to take off one's pants in a public place. Violation will result in heavy fines. Similarly, in the Spanish capital, Barcelona, ​​men and women can only swim on the beach. If you walk around the streets in this pooch dress, be prepared to lighten your wallet.

13 Keep the savings with you

When we have a lot of coins, the easiest way to get rid of them seems to be to hand them over to a shopkeeper. But don't do that in Canada, or you'll be embarrassed. In fact, under Canada's Currency Act, shopkeepers have the right to refuse to take excessive savings. For example, if you pay fifteen cents a cent, they may refuse to accept them legally.
