When I was on Oklahoma a few years ago, I got a warning by the police saying that I can't take a bite out of somebody else's hamburger. Obviously, hardly anybody knows about that law, and since I'm clearly a foreinger, all I got was a verbal warning.

i believe some laws they regulate are stupid, but some are to provide security measures and safety...
but most of the time the laws they are making now are just restricting our freedom rights on certain things.
a case i heard was in texas, where some guy burned a u.s.a flag and the government of texas sued him on the supreme court...but the guy won the case because burning the flag was with the first amendment. so i guess back then burning the flag was illegal.
anyway the laws they make are getting more dumber
