Dumb and Stupid Laws in Oregon

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.

How strange are Oregon's weird laws? Here are the top five strangest laws in Oregon. These are listed here in descending order for your entertainment.
