Lol I love these. Find a dumb law that for some reason was written - usually to combat a specific problem - and is rarely IF EVER enforced and laugh about the people of that geographical area. It's all the fun of being pretentious without troubling yourself to find a reason!

Probably arose from safety concerns and the risk of litigation. Damn overlitigation, and that's coming from a guy studying law.

Woo LA. I got a $200 ticket for riding my in the bike lane on the left side of the street... When there were no cars and the nearest intersection was all red lights for a diagonal crossing. :/

This law doesn't make sense unless you see how big the crowds at the beach get during the summer.

With that in mind, it starts to make sense if a bit harsh. This law isn't in effect anytime other than the summer busy season where no one really would be doing these activities anyway because of how crowded it was. Now they are just forbidden by law from doing it.

Well I'm just going on a hunch, but it probably has to do with public safety issues. Beach balls and volleyballs are not likely to cause any physical damage, unlike Frisbees I suppose. The beaches may be filled to the point where there isn't enough open space to do such activities like Ultimate Frisbee.

There's only one explanation for this and I would assume it is to prevent situations like these.

Meanwhile in Arizona this is happening

Essentially some of our fine legislators have decided that college campuses need to allow firearms instead of deciding to give them more funds. I think AZ wins in the weird laws contest :D

I have to say that its quite funny how they tried to sound official, and then realized that they couldn't accomplish what they wanted in official language. No balls except for this category (oh fuck, what if someone has a rugby ball or something like that..... fuck it) No balls except for beach balls and volleyballs. That being said, the lawyer in me says that "beach ball" could be vague enough to include really anything, so if someone has the + Show Spoiler +
balls
they should sue LA over this.

This sucks, I go to the beach alot. But thank god I can still play some beach volleyball. Wouldve been funny if they banned that too because AVP (when they werent bankrupt) payed Huntington money to host their events there.

Nobody will listen, the guys with the footballs are just like the guys on that corona commercial, to impress that girl (most of them) they won't enforce it, theres nobody that even patrols the beaches at all.

In Florida, it's illegal to make animal noises in public (and that's not inuendo for sex).

Allowing concealed carry on campus is a legit debate that has caused controversy all over the country... Banning beach balls, on the other hand... Well...

albeit incredibly stupid, seems like something that would never ever be enforced. that said - is a beach ball a specific thing with a specific definition? if not im sure you can claim whatever ball you want to be one

And it makes sense because Arizona has been on a big conservative swing in the legislature over the past couple years

Well, this kinds of "litigation-proof" laws are pretty common in America!

The citizens need to ring their local MP to complain!

As an ultimate (frisbee) player, this pisses me off. What a stupid law.

Drink heavily and chew tobacco.


On a serious note, this seems pointless, can you imagine a bunch of people sitting around a table thinking YES! This is it, people are always complaining about the dangers of frisbee throwing and football kicking. As well as the extremely dangerous practice of throwing smartphones that's sprung up over the last few years.

I have to wonder why even make this law? Couldn't lawmakers divert resources into legitimate concerns? Was there an agenda drawn up and this just made it to the top of the list? Can't say I'm too bothered by this since I don't even live in the U.S. but I do wonder what motivated people to make this law.
