I can't be certain about the overseas laws; but I am certain that 99% of claims like "in Alabama it is illegal to dye your
moustache red on a Saturday" are -entirely- ficitional.
If I had another pair of hands, I'd dig out the proof of that. In the meantime, have you ever, once, seen someone give the date of the law and/or the relevant sub-section?
Told you so. Pure fiction.
The Maryland one is no longer entirely accurate, though it was prior to the mid 1980's:
The current criminal code for the Maryland condom thing is:
Health - Condom Sale
CR 10-104
MISDEMEANOR
$1,000.00
*1_0467* **CONDOM-SALE VENDING MACH**
...did unlawfully [sell/offer to sell] a nonlatex condom by
means of a [vending machine/other automatic device].
NOTE: Each vending machine or other automatic device
constitutes a separate offense.
(The part making it legal to sell approved condoms from a vending machine, and the definition for condoms is still on the books in COMAR 10.52.04)
However, there are still plenty of strange Maryland laws that are still on the books (reference to criminal code included):
M/M Anal Sex 10 Years in Jail
CR 3-321
FELONY
10 YEARS
PRELIMINARY HEARING
*5_3600* **SODOMY-GENERALLY**
...did unlawfully commit sodomy upon ____ (name).
NOTE: Common law crime. Contemplates placing penis in
anus of victim. Consent is not a defense. The statute does not
require an explicit spelling out of details.
NOTE: In Schotchet v. State, 320 Md. 714 (1990), the Court of
Appeals held that this crime excludes consensual noncommercial,
heterosexual activity.
Oral Sex, that's another 10 years and a $1,00 fineUnnatural/Perverted Sexual Practice
CR 3-322
MISDEMEANOR
$1,000.00 - 10 YEARS
*6_3600* **PERVERTED PRACTICE**
...did commit a certain unnatural and perverted sexual practice
with ____ (name of person or type of animal).
NOTE: Perverted practices include cunnilingus, fellatio, and
beastiality.
There are plenty more, but you get the idea :)
