Reality Check

State Laws: California

         I decided to post two states today to make up for the overall blandness of the Arkansas post. With actors and celebrities roaming the streets, we know California is home to some of the most unique and strange individuals. Any state that would elect the Terminator as their governor is bound to have some interesting laws. Here are a few examples.

Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses.
(…as long as the weather allows)

No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
(Unattended vehicles must go no more than 40 miles per hour. Remember, safety first)

It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
(It would be so much fun to go whale hunting from a van… or perhaps a tank)

Peacocks have the right of way to cross any street, including driveways.
(Yep California has a real peacock infestation)

Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool.
(My friend actually tried that in a lake)

City Council order reads: “No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash”
(Dogs must keep their masters restrained at all times)

You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows.
(This is part of the campaign to keep California poser free)

One may not bring their dog to school.
(What about little lambs?)

It is illegal to own a green or smelly animal hide.
(So no skunk, frog, or iguana skin garments)

Persons may not ride their bicycles through the “Fountain of Life”.
(We wouldn’t want it to turn into another Herby.)
