Do Any Localities Ban Mundane Things?

OK, Sailor, exactly which posts are you wanting cites for? So far, only one “illegal in Liverpool for a woman to be topless unless they’re a clerk in a tropical fish store” turned out to be bogus.

But I admit it’s a wide-spread myth, so I can’t blame **Fake Tales of San Francisco **for being taken in. Not suprising considering the user-name, I guess.

That depends on the carrying capability of the trailer. Trailers that have a capability of less than one ton (trailer included in weight), do not need to be registered. Otoh, you might need to be able to show the Boys in Blue those papers if they stop you.

(Icelandic regulations, but I’m assuming most countries have something similar as we base our legislation on foreign ones)

Are you kidding? It’s the thing to do on a Saturday night for teens and young 20s. It’s just another form of the bar scene.

A suburb of Cleveland OH (Mayfield, I think?) required that businesses were limited to the use of only three colors on outdoor signage. Black and white were considered, for the purpose of this ordinance, “colors”.

One or two counties in our neck of the woods in Florida have banned glass bottles/containers/cups on some rivers/creeks as well as the beaches.

Somewhat mundane, but it makes sense. Broken glass on beaches and waterways where folks are likely to swim and or go barefoot is not good. And thank the gods that those dettachable pull tab aluminum soda cans are finally gone as well.

Now, as to how EFFECTIVE said ordinance is, I have little idea…

Sometimes it’s better to have effective ordnance than effective ordinances.
Our town issues official, required licenses for fortunetellers.

Consumption of any food or drink is banned on public transportation here.

Anyway, you must admit that banning consumption of alcohol necessarily *reduces *the number of drunks on the train.

That linked story makes it sound like a perfectly reasonable law.

Yes, it’s really " Arizona’s ban on license plate frames*…if the frame obscures the state’s name."*
