13 Things People Think Are Illegal But Actually Aren't

We assume all sorts of things are illegal because, well, a lot of those things should be. But in reality, there aren't laws for all the weird shit that you'd think there'd be laws for. But hey, maybe still don't do some of this stuff?

1. LincolnThorpe -- Be free, women. 

Females going topless. Not in every state, but in a surprising number.

2. SSHERMANEgss -- Why not just make that illegal? Don't think there'd be much opposition to it.

In germany its not illegal to break out of jail.

3. Killgarth -- Sick, now I've just gotta find a tank salesman. 

Owning a tank, completely Legal in the US and UK (though i believe you need a tracked vehicle license, and the canon has to be deactivated)

4. testercheong -- So if you smuggle some in, you're good to go.

Chewing gum in Singapore.Its perfectly legal,it's just the sale and distribution of it that is illegal

5. one_inch_heroes -- Forget getting buried, time to go out in STYLE. 

I inquired at a cremation facility I was doing work at (network technician, before anyone gets any funny ideas...), and in my area, it is completely legal to have a Viking-style funeral, like with a flaming arrow shot at a boat that the body is in. 

The only real restrictions are a) you have to do it somewhere it's not going to cause a panic (like a smaller tributary, or back river, not at the shore during peak tourist season, for example), and b) you have to have a fire marshal in attendance, just in case it gets out of control.

6. VictorBlimpmuscle -- Seems weird that they can make you leave, though. 

Counting cards at the casino - you won't be arrested for it, but anyone who's ever seen the film Casino knows you may wish you had.

7. BroChick21 -- Well that just seems unfair. 

Cops lying to suspects. Totally legal and holds up in court.

8. DaphnePeyton -- But are you actually gonna risk it? 

Passing a cop driving really slow in front of you

9. Isopodness -- Clipping that bitch off TONIGHT. 

It's legal to remove mattress tags. It's only illegal if the seller removes the tags before trying to sell it.

10. Vexxlyn -- Please don't steal all their flowers. 

In Texas, picking blue bonnet flowers. It's not illegal at all. Pick some, take them home and put them in a vase if you like. That's just something moms told their kids to they wouldn't literally pick ALL of them out of the yard.

11. SemperFiGuy -- Hell ya. Let the lying commence. 

It's not illegal to wear military uniforms. It's not even illegal to lie about serving. It's only illegal if you use it to manipulate/gain/profit in your favor.

12. 8-bitexplor3r -- Drinking and driving only in moderation, please. 

Drink a bottle of beer while driving in germany. You can do it, but if you have too much blood alcohol after that beer, you are screwed lol.

13. bastugubbar -- It is still frowned upon. Really, please don't eat people.

being a cannibal

it's illegal to kill someone, destroy a dead body etc etc, but it isn't illegal to do the act of eating human flesh. just that in order to do it you need to break 12 other laws.
