Dumb and Stupid Laws in Nevada

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

Being home to sin city and what plays in Vegas stays in Vegas, I really thought there would be some great laws in Nevada. But honestly, they weren't that strange.

Number 5

From Reno:

It is illegal to lie down on the sidewalk.

Becareful! And read #4.

Number 4

From Reno:

Benches may not be placed in the middle of any street.

They are serious about this not laying down thing.

Number 3

From Elko:

Everyone walking the streets is required to wear a mask.

Where it is Mardi Gras everyday - or Friday the 13^th.

Number 2

It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway.

The average speed of a camel is 30 mph so they are just not fast enough, but fuel-efficient.

Number 1

It's still "legal" to hang someone for shooting your dog on your property.

After all, a dog is a man's best friend!
