Some rather weird stuff going on that I'm not sure about wth is going on , as it would seem: "LA bans Frisbees and footballs on beach; enacts $1000 fine for violators" --- "The new rules now prohibit "any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll" any object other than a beach ball or volleyball "upon or over any beach."
What the ... ? Really ?
Full ordinance here: http://file.lacounty.gov/bos/supdocs/65848.pdf

Well, if you browse for weird laws you gonna find a ton in the U.S., like having dog fight with cats illegal, wearing ( god damn it can't remember how was that called ) some specific form of clothing again illegal, in different states of course... Actually first heard about it on the TV Series "Oz" ( which by the way was a really bad ass TV Series ) .
Now banning common activity on beaches for no good reason ... How is this not retarded ?
PS: I'll try to keep thread updated ( tho I'm having exams in a few hours ) with different sources if TLers post some here

I dunno, I can see how over-protective parents would complain about the dangers of stray recreational tools.

What the hell, this is actually serious? Everybody plays frisbee and football on the beach >.>
Why exactly was this put in anyway? It's not like there was an overly large amount of frisbee + football related deaths at the beach...
|
Seems like a "locals vs. tourists" thing to me.
|
no footballs on the beach and no raw-doggin' in porn? LA sucks.
|
What the.....
No frisbee at the beach?
|
My god it's there...:

This is why I hadn't moved to LA yet! I was too damn afraid of going to the beach and getting hit in the head by a frisbee or football. Now this awesome law is in place and I'm moving Monday! I live in Canada and there isn't much football up here, and no one uses frisbees because they freeze mid-air before they get to your friend.
?? Weird law, my friend.

Dear LA,
There's a reason you're not America's Finest City.
From,
SD.
Haha jk, I love Los Angeles and I've lived there, but this law is just ridiculous  .
|
Dumb law, shouldn't be enacted if you ask me.
|
It's probably to minimize the amount of males at the beach or something. Idk, sounds ridiculous.
|
"Honey, catch that water bottle!" BAMN FINE
"Ima throw away that chewing gum paper from right over here!" BAMN FINE
"Mom, that kid kicked a coka cola can!" BAMN FINE
...sounds like it's gonna work like that. =D
|
Uhm.... what the hell. Usually weird laws are from days long ago where they somewhat make sense. This law, passed now, blows my mind.... it doesn't make any sense.
|
I hate to be the guy who says it but that's hardly surprising. The culture of making everything (everything but things you pay for in one form or another) forbidden is becoming more and more dominant in the US and the UK.

Shoot, one less coast where I can show off my QB skills to the ladies.
This law must have something else to it. Is there any legislative history?

Instantly thought of the other thread as soon as I saw LA.
Doesn't seem like the place to be.
|
LA sucks anyway. Every few years I am talked into going back for some reason and every time I regret it and leave as soon as I can. This is just dumb.
|
This law will not be followed nor enforced. It will be forgotten, because no one gives a shit.
|
US has lots of frivolous laws. I recall some law making it illegal to put ice cream into your pocket. Bureaucrats with nothing to do make up arbitrary laws in a farcical effort to show that taxpayer money is being well spent. "See? We're doing something."
