00:00What if I told you that in some parts of the world, whistling at night could get you in trouble with the law?

00:06Or that naming your pet pig Napoleon could actually land you in hot water?

00:11Yep, believe it or not, there are some laws out there that are so insanely weird, you'd think they were made as a joke.

00:19But guess what? They're 100% real, and they can still get you fined or even arrested.

00:24So, before you accidentally break a law you didn't even know existed, stick around, because today, we're diving into 15 of the weirdest laws that are still in force today.

00:35And trust me, some of these will blow your mind.

01:03Alright, now let's get into the first weird law that might make you rethink your next vacation.

01:08Law 15. You can't own more than 50 kilos of potatoes in Western Australia.

01:21Alright, let's start with something starchy.

01:24In Western Australia, it is actually illegal to possess more than 50 kilograms of potatoes.

01:30Yep, you heard that right.

01:32If you're, oh, caught with a potato stash that's over the limit, you could be fined.

01:37Why? Well, back in the day, the government wanted to regulate the potato market and stop illegal sellers from ruining business.

01:45But here's the best part.

01:47In 2014, police actually chased down a farmer for carrying too many potatoes.

01:53Imagine getting, pulled over, and the officer says,

01:56Sir, we need to check your trunk for illegal potatoes.

02:00Seriously? Western Australia?

02:07Law 14. It's illegal to die in Longyearbyen, Norway.

02:15Okay, this one is as weird as it gets.

02:18In Longyearbyen, Norway, it is actually illegal to die.

02:22That's right.

02:23If you're sick, you better leave town, because burials are banned.

02:26Why?

02:26Because it's so cold there that bodies don't decompose properly.

02:31Scientists discovered that viruses from people who died over a hundred years ago were still frozen in their corpses.

02:38So, to avoid a potential zombie apocalypse, they made it illegal to die.

02:44No pressure, right?

02:45Just don't die.

02:48Simple.

02:48Law 13. No feeding pigeons in Venice, Italy.

03:00Next time you're in Venice, do not feed the pigeons, unless you want to pay a fine of up to 700 euros.

03:06The government decided that these birds were causing too much damage to historical sites.

03:11And if you've ever been to Venice, you know those pigeons act like they own the place.

03:16They'll steal your sandwich, land on your head, and give you that look like you're the problem.

03:21So, yeah, feed them, and you might just go broke.

03:29Law 12. No chewing gum in Singapore.

03:34Singapore is one of the cleanest cities in the world, and they take it seriously.

03:39How seriously?

03:41Well, chewing gum is illegal.

03:43You can't buy it.

03:44You can't sell it.

03:45And if you get caught smuggling gum into the country, you might get fined or even jailed.

03:52This law started in 1992 because people were sticking gum on train doors and causing malfunctions.

03:59Imagine explaining that to your family.

04:02Yeah, I got arrested for chewing gum.

04:07Wild.

04:09No flushing toilets after 10 p.m. in Switzerland.

04:20Switzerland is a peaceful country, but they take peace and quiet to a whole new level.

04:25In some apartment buildings, flushing your toilet after 10 p.m. is considered noise pollution and is technically illegal.

04:32That means if you gotta go, you better hold it till morning.

04:35Some landlords have even installed silent toilets to avoid complaints.

04:40But seriously, imagine someone calling the police like,

04:44Officer, my neighbor just...

04:45Flushed at 10.05 p.m.

04:48Arrest them.

04:49Switzerland, you're on another level.

04:55Law 10. No releasing helium balloons in Queensland, Australia.

04:59All right, picture this.

05:03You've just got yourself a shiny, colorful helium balloon and you're about to let it float away into the sky, right?

05:09Well, in Queensland, Australia, that innocent balloon could land you in some hot water.

05:17Why?

05:18Because it's actually illegal to release helium balloons into the air.

05:22You're probably thinking, what harm could one little balloon do?

05:27Well, Queensland takes the environment seriously.

05:31Those balloons can end up in the ocean, where they're a big problem for marine life.

05:36Imagine a dolphin trying to chase down your favorite cartoon character balloon.

05:41Yeah, not the best look for either party.

05:43So, if you're ever down under holding a balloon in your hand,

05:46make sure you give it a gentle squeeze instead of a skyward.

05:50Farewell.

05:51You wouldn't want the balloon police showing up,

05:54handing you a fine for littering with party supplies.

05:57Long story short,

05:59keep your balloons grounded and the sea creatures will thank you.

06:06Law 9. No wearing high heels at ancient sites in Greece.

06:13All right, ladies, imagine this.

06:15You're strutting through Greece, feeling like a fashion icon,

06:18and ready to snap that perfect selfie at the Parthenon.

06:22But hold up.

06:23Before you take another step,

06:25leave the high heels behind.

06:28Why?

06:29Well, high heels are actually banned at ancient historical sites in Greece.

06:33Now you might be thinking,

06:35how could my fabulous stilettos possibly harm the ruins?

06:40Here's the thing.

06:41The government's concerned that those sharp heels

06:44could cause irreversible damage to the ancient stones.

06:47So while you're busy,

06:49looking like a million bucks,

06:51your heels could be leaving little marks on history.

06:55Picture this.

06:56You're walking towards the Parthenon,

06:58ready for that Instagram moment,

07:00and suddenly, security approaches.

07:02Excuse me, ma'am,

07:03but you'll need, uh,

07:05to check your heels at the door.

07:07It's not a fashion statement.

07:09It's a history statement.

07:11So next time you're in Greece,

07:13be sure to rock those comfy flats or sandals,

07:15because while your shoes may be stylish,

07:17the ruins are priceless.

07:19And trust me,

07:20the Parthenon doesn't care how high your heels are.

07:22It only cares about its ancient stones.

07:24If you've got a habit of whistling your favorite tunes at night,

07:39be careful in Italy.

07:40In some towns,

07:41it's actually illegal to whistle after 10 p.m.

07:45Why?

07:45Because local governments believe

07:47whistling at night could be linked to summoning spirits

07:51or disturbing the peace.

07:53Imagine you're just vibing,

07:55whistling the Mission Impossible theme song,

07:57and suddenly a police officer taps your shoulder.

08:00Sir, I'm gonna have to fine you for excessive melody usage.

08:04Now let's be honest.

08:05Whistling can be annoying.

08:07We all know that one co-worker who whistles all day

08:09and makes you rethink your life choices,

08:12but an actual law against it?

08:14Italy, you're really protecting people from musical crimes.

08:21Law 7.

08:23No selfies with Buddha in Sri Lanka.

08:27We all love capturing moments on vacation, right?

08:30But if you visit Sri Lanka,

08:31don't even think about taking a selfie with a Buddha statue.

08:35Turning your back on Buddha for a photo

08:37is considered highly disrespectful,

08:39and guess what?

08:41You could actually get deported for it.

08:43Now imagine this.

08:45You're just posing for Instagram,

08:47trying to get that spiritual traveler aesthetic,

08:50and suddenly immigration officers appear out of nowhere.

08:55Sir, you have five minutes to pack.

08:58Your bags.

08:59Even famous celebrities have gotten into trouble for this.

09:02The rule is simple.

09:04Respect the culture

09:05or prepare for an early flight home.

09:08So next time you visit,

09:09just admire the statue

09:11from the front

09:12like a decent human being.

09:14Law 6.

09:20No Winnie the Pooh.

09:22T-shirts in Poland.

09:26Ever thought your favorite childhood character

09:28could get you in trouble?

09:30Well, in Poland,

09:31Winnie the Pooh is banned from schools and playgrounds.

09:34The reason?

09:35The bear doesn't wear pants.

09:38Yep.

09:38The local government found Pooh's outfit,

09:41or lack of one,

09:42inappropriate for children.

09:44Meanwhile,

09:45Donald Duck has been rocking

09:46just a shirt and no pants for decades,

09:48and nobody seems to care.

09:51Where's the justice for Winnie?

09:53So if you ever visit Poland,

09:55maybe leave your Pooh-themed wardrobe at home.

09:58You wouldn't want a government official

09:59pulling you aside like,

10:01Sir, is that a half-naked bear on your T-shirt?

10:04That's going to be a fine.

10:10Law 5.

10:12No naming your pig Napoleon in France.

10:17If you ever get a pet pig in France,

10:20one thing is clear.

10:21Do not name it Napoleon.

10:23That's right.

10:24It's actually illegal to name a pig

10:26after France's legendary emperor.

10:29The government sees it as disrespectful,

10:31even if your pig looks like a natural-born leader.

10:34But here's the funny part.

10:36What if your pig just acts like a Napoleon?

10:39Imagine you've got a pig

10:40that's bossing around the other farm animals,

10:42strategizing,

10:44food heists,

10:45and demanding to sit at the head of the table.

10:48Sorry, officer,

10:49but he gave himself the name.

10:51So if you want to keep your pig in your freedom,

10:53better stick with a safer name,

10:56like Bacon or Mr. Oink.

10:58Law 4.

11:04No public frowning in Milan, Italy,

11:07unless you're at a funeral.

11:09Picture this.

11:10You're strolling through Milan,

11:12soaking in the fashion,

11:13the architecture,

11:14and the vibes.

11:15Suddenly,

11:16you feel a frown coming on.

11:18Maybe your espresso didn't.

11:20Hit the mark.

11:21Or your team just lost the match.

11:24But hold up.

11:25In Milan,

11:26a frown could get you fined.

11:28Yes,

11:29you heard that right.

11:31Smiling is required in public.

11:33Imagine walking down the street

11:35when a cop stops you.

11:37Excuse me, sir,

11:38why aren't you smiling?

11:40Uh,

11:40my team lost.

11:42That'll be a hundred dollar fine.

11:44Now,

11:44say cheese.

11:46Sounds wild,

11:47right?

11:47But here's the catch.

11:49It's all a myth.

11:50There's no law in Milan

11:51forcing smiles on the streets.

11:53It's just one of those funny

11:55rumors that makes its rounds.

11:57So go ahead.

11:58Let that frown turn upside down.

12:00Or don't.

12:01Milan won't fine you for your face.

12:03But they might fine you

12:04if you don't look fabulous.

12:10Law 3.

12:11No running out of gas

12:12on the Autobahn, Germany.

12:15The Autobahn in Germany

12:17is famous for having

12:18no speed limits

12:19in certain areas.

12:20But if you're driving there,

12:21make sure you never run out of gas

12:23because it's illegal.

12:25Why?

12:26Well,

12:27stopping,

12:28yeah.

12:28On the Autobahn,

12:29for any reason,

12:30is considered reckless

12:31and dangerous.

12:33That means if your tank

12:34hits empty,

12:35you could face a fine

12:36and some very angry drivers

12:38zooming past you

12:39at 150 mc.

12:41So,

12:42imagine this.

12:43You're cruising down the highway

12:45enjoying

12:46the freedom

12:47and suddenly

12:48your car sputters.

12:49You roll to a stop

12:51thinking,

12:51oops,

12:52I'll just get some gas.

12:54But before you even step out,

12:56a German police officer

12:57appears like,

12:59excuse me, sir,

13:00do you know why

13:01I pulled you over?

13:02And you're like,

13:03uh,

13:03my car stopped?

13:05And they're like,

13:07exactly.

13:08Pay up.

13:09Moral of the story,

13:10in Germany,

13:11fuel up

13:11or shut up.

13:16Law 2.

13:18No sleeping on benches

13:20in Dubai.

13:22Dubai is known

13:23for its luxury skyscrapers

13:25and expensive lifestyles.

13:27But if you're thinking

13:28about catching a quick nap

13:30on a park bench,

13:31think again.

13:33Sleeping in public

13:34is actually

13:34against the law.

13:36And if you're caught,

13:37you could be fined

13:38or even arrested.

13:39Now imagine you're a tourist

13:41who's had a long day

13:42of shopping

13:42and sightseeing.

13:43You sit down,

13:44close your eyes

13:45for five minutes

13:45and boom,

13:46you wake up

13:47to security guards

13:48shaking you.

13:49Sir,

13:50sleeping is not allowed.

13:51Please follow us.

13:52So if you're ever in Dubai

13:54and feeling sleepy,

13:55book a hotel.

13:56It's way cheaper

13:57than getting fined

13:58for a power nap.

14:04Law 1.

14:06You must walk your dog

14:07two times a day

14:08in Germany.

14:10Alright dog lovers,

14:12here's a wild one for you.

14:14If you ever find yourself

14:15in Germany

14:15with a furry companion,

14:17you better put those

14:18walking shoes on

14:19and be ready to move.

14:21Because there's actually

14:22a law that says

14:23you must take your dog

14:24for a walk twice a day.

14:26Now picture this.

14:27It's a chill day.

14:29You're lounging on the couch,

14:30Netflix on,

14:31snacks ready.

14:32Suddenly,

14:33bam,

14:34there's a knock on the door.

14:35You open.

14:36It.

14:37And who's standing there?

14:39A government official.

14:40Official.

14:41Excuse me sir,

14:42have you walked your dog today?

14:43You.

14:44Uh,

14:45no.

14:46Official.

14:47Well,

14:47I'm afraid I'm going

14:48to have to fine you.

14:50Wait, what?

14:51A fine for not walking

14:52your dog?

14:52You bet.

14:53The German government

14:54believes dogs

14:55need fresh air,

14:56exercise,

14:57and let's not forget,

14:58socialization.

15:00So,

15:00if you're

15:00not giving your dog

15:02at least one solid

15:03hour of outdoor fun

15:05each day,

15:06you could face

15:06some serious fines.

15:08But here's the twist.

15:10It's not about

15:10taking your dog

15:11on three walks.

15:13It's just about

15:13making sure they get

15:14that one hour

15:15of fresh air

15:15and play time

15:16twice a day.

15:17Whether it's a stroll

15:18through the park

15:19or a game of fetch,

15:20your pup's got to

15:21get out there.

15:22Moral of the story?

15:24If you're in Germany,

15:26treat your dog

15:26like the social

15:27superstar they are

15:28because skipping

15:29walk time

15:30could cost you.

15:32And there you have it.

15:35laws that still

15:36exist today.
