Dumb and Stupid Laws in Alaska

Dumbness and stupidity can be found at the highest levels of our society. The law is not exempt from examples of stupidity. And it is found far and wide across our country in each and every state. All states have weird and dumb laws on the books. It is often more time consuming and costly to have them removed, so there they sit. They usually aren't acted upon but they are legal and binding and can be enacted upon if an officer of the law wanted to do so. Some are actually new and have been used recently. How strange are Alaska's weird laws? Here are the top five strangest laws in Alaska. These are listed here in descending order for your entertainment. It is hoped that you would not use them to enact a citizen's arrest! Talk about dumb and stupid!

Alaska: the last frontier. It is kind of strange to consider them having laws. But hold that thought until you read the following!

Number 5
Obviously you expected Moose laws right?

1. Moose may not be viewed from an airplane.

2. It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.

3. From Fairbanks: It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.

Number 4
From Haines:
It is against the law to attempt to break any law in title 9 of the code (public peace, morals, and welfare). Read this again. So if you aren't smart enough to actually succeed to break the law but you attempt to break the law, and are stupid enough to fail, it is against the law.

Number 3
While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited. Let sleeping bears lie. I am not sure who would be brave I mean dumb enough to wake a bear to say cheese, but just in case you are, they have a law against it.

Number 2
From Juneau:
Owners of flamingos may not let their pet into barbershops. Why? Maybe I am naïve, but can flamingos actually live in Alaska? And if so, why would you want to take them into a barbershop?

Number 1
From Anchorage
Clowns beware!
I thought about writing nothing here. But seriously, I think this is my favorite law of all times! Those of you out there with a phobia for clowns rejoice!

And your bonus silly law: from Anchorage: Persons may not live in a trailer as it is being hauled across the city. I guess you need to move, in order to move.
