Laws are necessary for civilization to survive and thrive, but in some cases, they don’t always make a lot of logical sense. Just because something is legal doesn’t automatically make it morally or socially good. Nor does banning something instantly mean that it’s bad. There are some truly bizarre moments when common sense goes out the window.

One internet user sparked an interesting conversation on r/AskReddit after asking folks about what things are, weirdly enough, illegal to own in their home country. Scroll down for their answers and a quick peek into how every legal system has at least a few flaws.

This is neither bizarre, nor lacking in common sense. It’s a basic animal welfare law, reminding people that they have an obligation to meet the needs of their animals.

Some laws are beyond bizarre and end up sounding utterly hilarious. For example, Birmingham University notes that in the United Kingdom, it is illegal to handle “salmon in suspicious circumstances,” as per Section 32 of the Salmon Act of 1986.

Meanwhile, the Seamen’s and Soldiers’ False Characters Act of 1906 prohibits you from dressing up as a member of the naval, military, and marine forces. So, you technically wouldn’t be able to wear those clothes to a fancy dress party.

The 1839 Metropolitan Police Act makes it illegal to “wilfully and wantonly disturb any inhabitant by pulling or ringing any doorbell or knocking at any door without lawful excuse.” Nor are you allowed to use “any slide upon ice or snow in any street or other thoroughfare.”

Even weirder, Section 12 of the Licensing Act of 1872 prohibits you from being drunk inside a pub. “Every person found drunk in any highway or other public place, whether a building or not, or on any licensed premises” could get a fine.

People Shared 40 Absolutely Normal Things They Can’t Own Because It’s Illegal Where They Live Native animals. You’re not allowed to keep native animals in Australia without a special licence, but I live rurally & pretty much everyone I know has at least one native animal that they rescued as a baby & fed & it just never f****d off once it grew up, so they have a kangaroo or a bunch of magpies or a wombat just tooling around their property like it owns the place.

Technically they could get into pretty major trouble (fines & jail time) but it’s generally overlooked if you’re not selling them.

We reached out to the person behind the online thread, redditor u/solitary_black_sheep. They shared a few thoughts about illogical laws, as well as the virality of online content.

ADVERTISEMENT

“I don’t think it’s possible to have perfect laws in general,” the internet user told Bored Panda.

“There will always be some strange ones due to historical reasons, strange precedences, unfortunate phrasing, etc.”

They said that they read many interesting answers. “There were many interesting illegal things that overall showed some holes in legal systems of different countries.”

However, the OP felt a bit surprised by how many people mentioned “various kinds of [psychedelic substances].”

ADVERTISEMENT

“For me, trying to limit [these substances] makes sense and it’s not normal to own them.”

According to the author, they were surprised by how many people responded to their question online. “I’m happy that so many people found the question interesting,” they said.

They opened up to us that initially the thread and the question were a social experiment of sorts. They wanted to see if they’d be able to create a popular post. The main thing driving the OP? “Just curiosity.”

Redditor u/solitary_black_sheep said that they felt inspired by similar questions that they had seen online. However, they didn’t want to just copy them. Instead, they added a unique twist to make the question unique.

Most countries have at least a few glaring irregularities in their legal systems. The more you learn about them, the more flaws and inconsistencies you can spot. Some mistakes come down to human error. Others are the byproduct of ancient traditions and anachronistic mores that no longer fit the spirit of the age. While others still are left to be ignored because changing them would not be worth all the trouble.

Overhauling a country’s entire legal system to be consistent, logical, fair and also reflective of the norms and mores of today’s society would be a monumental task. Then factor in the fact that social norms shift and change over time and you realize that you have to constantly update your laws. Realistically, some bizarre (il)legalities will fall between the cracks. And then you’re back where you started, wondering why it’s illegal to own something basic.

all knives and knife blades that are designed for domestic use can be legally sold to people over the age of 16 and other types of knives may legally be sold to anyone over the age of 18 if a licence is obtained. • Skewers • Screw drivers • Scissors • Pruning saws • Plasterboard saws • Peelers are "outside the scope" of legislation. The weapons act of 1988 aims to regulate the sale of....weapons. Meaning any knives (of similar objects) advertised as being for combat or self defense are regulated.....kitchen knives and crafting/diy tools, are not.

Cuban cigars. I live in the US, up on Lake Erie. Plenty of people I know have gone to Canada and snagged some Cuban cigars to bring back just to say they did.

This is technically a violation of the Trading With the Enemy Act and punishable by up to $50k in fines per cigar, but it’s not generally enforced unless customs think you’re bringing them back to sell.

IMO they’re not that great. Certainly not bad, but not worth the hype they get. Dominican cigars have majorly passed them in quality.

"The unregulated and inappropriate use of detection devices causes serious damage to Ireland’s archaeological heritage and is subject to severe penalties under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014." Metal detecting was added when the technology came along, but in general "it is illegal to dig or excavate for archaeological objects ... without the prior written consent of the Minister." So it's not some odd exception, it's part of a systematic protection of Ireland's archaeological heritage.

This is I guess pretty much everywhere, you can't have duplicate IDs. In my country you have to hand over the old one, they punch a hole on it, or if you can't hand it over you have to fill out a form to officially state what happened (lost/stolen...etc). Then they register that old ID number and if you try to use it in the future, then you are in trouble.

People Shared 40 Absolutely Normal Things They Can’t Own Because It’s Illegal Where They Live Suppressors/moderators/silencers. Not even for airguns.

I bought an airgun about a year ago. Then I designed and 3D printed a suppressor for it, figuring it would effectively lengthen the barrel a bit for increased accuracy, and it might reduce the report, even if only slightly.

I shared a picture of the finished print on social media and had a bunch of friends immediately comment that I should delete the picture and destroy the print ASAP. I did and then researched it... sure enough owning or possessing a suppressor is illegal (in Canada).

I think someone in politics has watched a few too many action movies and has no real concept of how effective suppressors are.

This one's worng for two reasons. 1. In no world would a suppressor improve accuracy. A longer rifled barrel might, but just making it longer i itself will not. 2. A suppressor reduces noise from the muzzle blast. Air rifles do not have a muzzle blast. Suppressors for air rifles are not a thing.

Yes you can. The knife being on your person has to have a reason for being there. If it is in your lunch box with the intent to peel food, it is legal to have there. Pocket knife on your belt as a tool? Absolutely. Athame for your altar? Go for it. Transporting a chef knife home? Shoot. Carrying a knife in your school bag for the purposes of pulling it on people if you get upset? There is a multiple stabbing that had an unwell kid doing just that.
