The weird laws you might accidentally break on holidays Want to stay out of trouble abroad? SOME seem like common sense, others are just damn outrageous. And then there are some that you didn't know you were breaking. From stepping on money to fighting bears, there is a bizarre range of activities outlawed by the various authorities of the world. So be careful on your next trip abroad because you might accidentally find yourself in the crosshairs of the law. Public nudity laws aren't unique. It's obviously considered officially offensive to go starkers in just about every country. But Singapore is next-level offended. The country famous for its anti-chewing gum and anti-spitting regulations also has a law that bans you from walking around naked in your own home if the curtains or blinds are open. Censorship is strict in Singapore and pornography is tightly watched. Walking around your abode in the buff is considered pornographic if others can see you, hence the ban. Speed: Do your worst. Petrol: Do your absolute best. And you thought Germany's autobahn was a lawless highway where lead-footed drivers could put pedal to metal and make a fast and furious dash to the bratwurst shop. Nope. While the speed limit is famously relaxed, the autobahn is home to a very strange law. You can't run out of petrol. It's actually illegal to stop for any reason on the autobahn, unless it's an emergency or something else unavoidable. Running out of juice is not considered unavoidable. Under German law, there is a petrol station along every 50-55km of the autobahn to keep you out of trouble. As if you needed another reason not to lock horns with a bear. Even if you win the tussle, you could find yourself in trouble with the law in Alabama. There is a special chapter of the local legislation devoted to bear-related offences. You can't train a bear, wrestle one or charge admission to a bear fight. The black bear is considered a "unique mammal" in the state of Alabama, warranting special protections under the law, enacted in 2001. You can understand why things like murder and jaywalking are outlawed, but something as natural and involuntary as death? There are actually four places in the world where you're just not allowed to cark it, if you don't mind. The island of Itsukushima in Japan is considered too sacred a place to die. Births are similarly banned. The arctic town of Longyearbyen in Norway is so cold that bodies can't decompose there, so the gravely ill are dispatched to other parts of the country to live out their days. And in Sarpourenx (France) and Falciano del Massico (Italy) the township's cemeteries are full so there's simply no more room to bury the dead. Arthur was considering a tilt at politics until he heard their thoughts on chain mail. So you go to London and visit Parliament House. You want to look your finest, right? Too bad if you're a medieval knight because armour is illegal in the hallowed halls. Issued in 1313, it's one of the last vestiges of England's long history. But lawmakers have just never taken it off the books. In fact, this falls under a broader rule in Thailand, where it is a punishable offence to disrespect the king or anyone else in the royal family. King Bhumibol Adulyadej is revered by the people, and since the local currency bears his image, you obviously can't diss it. That includes defacing it or treading on it. In the last two years, there have been several prominent cases of westerners arrested in Thailand under lese majeste laws, as they're known. Know of any other weird laws?
