In this state you are prohibited from engaging in a duel, no matter the circumstances. Well, there goes my weekend plans. You also may not get a fish drunk or hunt whales on a Sunday. No civil arrests may be made on Sunday or the fourth of July. Ohio may have some funny state laws but what about the city laws? Here are some that might make you chuckle. In Canton, Ohio If you lose your pet tiger you must tell someone within the hour of losing it.If you do not you will be charged with a misdemeanor of the first degree. In Bay Village, you may not walk your cow down Lake road.
In Michigan the laws are even worse. A woman

For one, you may not fish while on top of a camel or a giraffe for that matter. In Pocatello, Idaho you may not frown in public, you must always appear with a smile on your face. In Washington, however, you may not harass Bigfoot or you will be fined or imprisoned. If you have the common cold you better stay home in Washington or you’ll be breaking the law. Lollipops are also outlawed. I guess they were having problems with finding out crimes because one of their laws state that if you are driving a car into the state with criminal intent you must phone the sheriff before entering. Another law that’s so stupid it’s funny says if two trains meet neither may pass till the other one …show more content…
You also may not hunt any animal from a moving vehicle unless it is a whale. Car lovers watch out because no car without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.

    Mapp v. Ohio, noteworthy court case of 1961. The US Supreme Court decided that when the state officers attained evidence through illegal searches and seizures might not be admissible into criminal trials.

    Criminal justice deals with individuals who are suspect to be criminals or affiliated with one. The main purpose of criminal law is to ensure that those who break the law will in return be punished. Mapp v Ohio became one of many cases in the criminal procedure that made a huge impact on the fourth amendment in regards to how law enforcement officials could not use evidence obtained in violation of the fourth amendment in trial. Long story short, Dollree Mapp was convicted of having obscene materials after police conducted an illegal search of her home for a fugitive. What I took from the case was that the facts were pretty straight forward. The evidence obtained from the police was illegally acquired in Ms. Mapps house. This is because…

    Some states would not abide by all of the federal government laws that where set or make their own laws that interfered with ones that were made. The Public Administration Quarterly said “The constitutions provided for varying degrees of decentralization. Nome, however, were as decentralized as the national government under the Articles. In all states, there was an executive in some form and in New York, Massachusetts, and Hew Hampshire he was elected by the people at large. Other states, however, provided for an executive chosen by a legislature or legislatively appointed body. In most states, the executive was essentially part of the legislature.” The US Constitution divides power between the Federal government and state governments. Giving certain power to the federal government to keep the country in stability to grow in the future like declare war on another country or treaties so the entire country stays on one side of the decision. When the federal government makes a law, the states have to follow it and change any laws that has conflict with it to fit within the parameters of the law. The States have reserved powers with are specifically for the states to regulate. This was the tenth amendment to the constitution and has similar tis to the Articles of…

    Charles Brandenburg was the Ohio leader of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Brandenburg held a gathering for the members of the KKK.. Brandenburg also invited the Cincinnati television crew to film his gathering. Although twelve members showed up, it did not stop Brandenburg from continuing. During this gathering, Brandenburg had said that “if our President, our Congress, our Supreme Court, continues to suppress the white, Caucasian race, it’s possible that there might have to be some revengance taken.” He also said, “I believe the nigger should be returned to Africa, the Jew returned to Israel.” Due to Brandenburg’s harsh, what could be taken as, threat, Ohio authorities prosecuted Brandenburg under a 1919 criminal law making it illegal to “advocate...the duty, necessity, or propriety of crime, sabotage, violence, or unlawful methods of terrorism.” Also, they prosecuted him for voluntarily assembling with any such group to promote such aims. Ohio authorities pressed the issue of “clear and present danger.” The Court’s opinion was unanimous and reversed the conviction. They believed that the government cannot constitutionally punish abstract advocacy of force or law violation. Justice Black and Douglas both concurred.…

    The definition of a state is any politically organized community living under a single system of government. In the context of the United States the state governments are allowed to make some laws for the people living there, however, ultimately the federal government has final say in legal matters. Influences from Adam Smith can be seen in state governments when the federal government allows them to create laws. The states will have different laws based around what people living in that particular states want or need. For example it's unnecessary to have a statewide law concerning the ocean here in Missouri as it isn't a coastal state, but those laws may be required in California. I think on the whole these influences have led to positive…

    This is a state law and Washington state passed it. The law was passed between the years 2000-2010. This law does not seem necessary because marijuana cookies are legal, but lollipops are illegal. This law effects all people. This law does not legitimately protect society. I think that this law goes way to far. This law does seek to regulate something people should be able to regulate themselves. Common sense should be the guide here because it should be common sense not to get a lollipop if they are illegal…
