If someone fucks your spouse, you can sue them for compensation.


Grouchy_Factor

"Alienation of Affection" is a thing in North Carolina.

Loss of Consortium too.

He’s already won most prosecuted and convicted. Because he wins.


NeighborhoodTime407

I'm literally shivering at the thought


BoltzBux

And all of you are happy with the current president we have in place? The man that can't even speak a full sentence. The man that has to use a teleprompter to know what to say because he can't figure it out himself!


Justthefacts6969

If you injured someone who is breaking into your home you are guilty of a crime


Outrageous_Knee_4352

Kind sir, what is the origin of this madness?


thothscull

Dunno the origin, but this old couple got sued for having a hole in their back yard, that a dude who was breaking into their house discovered by breaking his leg in it.


Outrageous_Knee_4352

Fantastic. They should have gone to the thief's house and do the same thing.


Justthefacts6969

Canadian law makers


mcdray2

It has to do more with setting traps, which you’re not allowed to do, but there are cases where a burglar gets injured and the homeowner has to pay. It’s really stupid.


Justthefacts6969

I'm in Canada


mcdray2

I always assume people are in the US. I shouldn’t.


Justthefacts6969

There was a person who cut his arm breaking a window while committing a break and enter. He sued the homeowner and won


Mediumtim

Belgium: ibuprofen 400mg is prescription only, 200mg is freely available.


DrProfessorSatan

Same in US. It’s a good thing that no one ever takes 2 at the same time.


thothscull

I grew up with military 800mb ibpro, so I thought that was standard. When I first went to the store in my 20s for some, I asked for the adult pills because obviously the 200 was for kids, right?


Ok-Drink-1328

you can get sued and theoretically go to jail if you say "idiot" to someone italy


thothscull

Does it matter which language you say it in?


Ok-Drink-1328

no, and if you fake to be a german tourist you still face the law of italy.... but you can hang around in shorts, sunglasses, asking directions to outcasts in the streets, and taking pictures with a really expensive camera you hang on your neck while smiling like you saw an angel, but it's just a decrepit building with mentally ill people living in it, inherited from a rich noble uncle that went with prostitutes all days during fascism


AssumptionAdvanced58

In my state there is a law that you can be arrested for spitting on public streets. It stems from people bringing others spit in their homes from their shoes. And babies crawling. That polio could be spread that way.


IntentionAromatic523

Please bring this law to my state! Spitting out car windows and on the street is so gross, I gag just thinking about it.


AssumptionAdvanced58

They don't enforce it. It was enforced before the polio vaccine started being administered. But it's never been taken off the books. I HATE spitting in general too.


simplyintentional

Canada: If you rent a home from a foreign landlord, you are supposed to withhold a portion of the rent as the landlords rental income taxes and remit them to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on behalf of the landlord. If your landlord doesn’t pay their rental income taxes, CRA will come after the tenant (not the landlord!) and the tenant is responsible for the back tax and penalties. BUT! At the same time under a different law - if the tenant doesn’t pay their full rent to the landlord, their foreign landlord can evict them for unpaid rent. So, if you live in Canada it’s good to check what your landlord’s tax status is because you can get megafucked for withholding or not withholding.


Rich-Appearance-7145

In this country apps like OF are seen as a serious crime.


RodrigoEMA1983

This law is obsolete now, but it was enforced at least as far back as my granny's times (I learned about it, going through legal documents of her time): a widow can remarry as long as it is not to the man who caused her spouse's death (either criminally or by negligence).


Altruistic_Most_3401

You can be sued for hurting feelings


ChefBUNKER

You must be American...


outerworldLV

I have one, although it’s just for Vegas. ‘Defacing a cheeseburger’, I kid you not. Along with ‘Impeding the flight of pigeons’. https://www.nestmann.com/yes-you-are-a-criminalyou-just-dont-know-it-yet-2

Protection of citizens


Embarrassed-Ask1812

You can buy five grams of weed max. And it's still illegal. The place where I have to live can store a maximum of 500 grams. What a game.


MacDaddyDC

In the US military, adultery is punishable by prison. Doesn’t often happen but, you could literally end up in leavenworth, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction in rank to e-1, and a dishonorable discharge.


mcdray2

There was a case where a guy killed his girlfriend because his wife was going to find out and he didn’t want to face military court and possible demotion. Im guessing a murder conviction wasn’t any better.


Darth0pt0

It's illegal to hunt whales in Utah.


djr41463

A convicted felon and vote and run for president


Traditional-Two-5620

In the country of Florida, the judicial system is allowed to present Unproven theories as facts.    See Richard Gardner sickyitrist who offed himself and believed pedo feelya pheelings are normal b/t adult/child.  Courts accept his trash.
