Getting To Know Your Criminal Code

[ladystrange]

Canada's laws certainly are not as interesting as some countries. but there are a few that make you go hummmm. Ciminal Code of Canada

 

Piracy - ( steals or without lawful authority throws overboard, damages or destroys anything that is part of the cargo, supplies or fittings in a Canadian ship,

 

is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.

 

**so if you happen across a canadian ship - any boat registered in canada and take off a fitting (oar holder for example) and throw it into the lake - you have committed piracy.

 

Dueling - 71. Every one who (a) challenges or attempts by any means to provoke another person to fight a duel, ( attempts to provoke a person to challenge another person to fight a duel, or © accepts a challenge to fight a duel,

 

is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.

 

so be nice and dont call out your fellow board members - LOL

 

when it comes to animals... apparently having sex with an animal gets you a longer sentance than if you maim or kill it, unless it is cattle.

selling defective stores to the military will get you 14 years... does that mean that whom ever sold us the leaky subs got the book thrown at them..?

There is another couple of looney laws that dates back into the early settlement of this province and country.

 

I'm not sure if this one is still a legitimate law,

 

but you are supposed to receive a gun and a horse when you are released from Jail in Alberta. If this law is still active, it would only take one person to bring it back from the dead and have it omitted from our legal sysem.....

 

 

Another one that pertains to fisherman with boats.

 

As the captain of your ship/vessel you have the power to have an authority figure (ie. a F&W officer/ police officer) hand over their fireams before entering your vessel. Another archaic law that would probably get you in more than trouble than worth imagining.

 

Gotta love the looney laws!

hey jeff...quick question...what is with your obsession with seeing me in a pink tutu or leotards?...just curious...

[ladystrange]

i was wondering how long this would stay on topic. LOL

 

 

i think the calgary law is that if you are run out of town they have to give you a pistol, a horse and one days rations, but you cant come back.

 

i have heard there is another except to the murder law, if you are being attacked by indians while travelling at night in a covered wagon and you shoot one... it's ok.

 

 

 

 

long winter indeed

[Jeffro]

Well you just look so darn cute in a pink tutu.......

 

Now what was this thread about........oh yeah Daves infatuation with crotch rockets......

 

LS thats the law I was thinking of regarding the horse and a gun. Pretty sweet they throw in a meal on your way out of cow town too. I may just have to take Calgary up on that offer (and yes I could handle never going back...)

[ladystrange]

LOL, yeah, that's a great law. i dont think they escort people out of the city anymore tho... that way they can get around the law

[albannachxcuileag]

Try these on for size!

 

In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

Let's see them just try that one, a severe Glasgow Kiss coming up for ye, Jimmy!

In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.

 

The upshot of this one is that you can get done for indecent exposure and end up on the Sexual Offenders Register!

 

In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.

 

What?

 

It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down.

 

Used to do that one all the time!

 

In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk.

 

Pickled Herring anyone?

 

You and who's army?

[rleach]

As the captain of your ship/vessel you have the power to have an authority figure (ie. a F&W officer/ police officer) hand over their fireams before entering your vessel. Another archaic law that would probably get you in more than trouble than worth imagining.

 

 

This one still hold's true today with respect to an Aircraft.

[ladystrange]

how do you get a fish drunk and why would you waste the beer
