Intro:

Isn't it funny to hear about some of those weird crazy laws that you hear about some times? They are hilarious! There are actually quite a lot of them and it's just plain fun to know them. Laws are created for a single purpose to protect the citizens of the United States and provide justice to those who are harmful to themselves and others. Although some of these laws were may have been made because of personal issues. I'm interested in them because I am an aspiring police officer and I will come across these laws every day. For probably 75% of these laws I will be very discrete and not pay too much attention to them. In fact, I probably won’t care for the reason of the law being a little too insane. Of course I will do my job very well and provide safety and security to all law abiding citizens and will probably be a little bit of the hard butt type, only because I'm very passionate on being good and correcting the bad.

In this blog I’m only going to focusing on a few states in particular: Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and a few absolutely ridiculous laws set by other states that I must mention. Also in this blog I'll be voicing my opinions on these laws and the reasons why they may have created these laws. If I can't find the exact reasons why, I'll form my own inferences on why it was created. Keep in mind that some of these laws are a little outdated and were created when the states were just starting, but all were created for a reason.
