Dumb and Stupid Laws in California

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 California's weird laws? Here are the top five strangest laws in California. 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!

Keep in mind, in order for them to be a law, there had to be a reason to make it a law in the first place.

Number 5
Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses.
Let's control weather and nature! In fact, let's create a law that states we control weather and nature. We are powerful politicians aren't we? And, we have nothing better to do than to make laws that say we control the sunshine!

Number 4
Women may not drive in a house coat.
Someone call Liz Taylor and let her know!

Number 3
Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship. Someone post a sign because the animals can read can't they? But wait, human beings are forms of an animal aren't we? Someone needs to tell all those cheating teachers and priests because they didn't know they were breaking the law otherwise! Boy, they will be glad to know, thanks for telling them.

Number 2
No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
So how does it exceed 60 miles an hour if no one is driving? This sounds just like one of those middle school problems to solve doesn't it?

Number 1
From Belvedere
City Council order reads: No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash. Typo or truth? Are you a master and do you wear a leash? It sounds like we have left walking the do doesn't it, or is that a metaphor for something else too? No, city council couldn't be that clever.

Bonus:
In Pacific Grove there is a law on the books establishing a $500 fine for molesting butterflies. - How does one go about doing that?
