Since when is it illegal to ride a shopping cart down the interstate?!?
90941
Since ALWAYS...a shopping cart, lacking, among other things, an engine, brakes, headlights and taillights is not a street legal form of transportation...also you cannot get liability insurance for a shopping cart and it is therefore unlawful to operate on on the public right of way.

Every state I lived in they were always busting stores that sold paraphernalia. Maybe it's changed now, but it sure used to be breaking the law. I haven't heard for a few years now.

As for sources, you just have to trust me unless you want to read the entire Vehicle Code (there is no law prohibiting it, so you'd have to look through the whole book just to see that).\n\nIt's not illegal, provided the passenger hanging their legs out is still wearing a seat belt properly.  Even then, the violation would be for the seat belt, not the legs.

Yes, it's illegal. The only places I've been to that let you do that are Reno, Las Vegas, and New Orleans.

If you're undeage it is. It's also illegal to drink while driving. And it's illegal to drink in many public places (such as a state park).

Shop-lifting is a civil wrong. This is very petty offence. You should not be bothered about it because you were just cautioned and not even penalised or reported anywhere.

i believe that it is a crime everywhere (federal law, and upheld by the supreme court) to have anything dealing with a marijuana plant in your possession, and also paraphanalia.  interestingly enough, in most places, it isnt illegal to actually smoke it, except if you are driving.

I think it is wrong to tell me I have to wear a seat belt when driving in my car.  How is that endangering anyone elses life but my own.  I realize that we as humans should wear them to prevent our family heart break over losing a loved one however who is the government to tell me I have to.  Another law that is wrong is the one they passed in Texas not to long ago but retracted due to public out cry.  The police went into the local bars and arrested people for being drunk in public.  They feel that this is a preventive measure against drunk driving.  They arrested people who had designated drivers.  This is F**Ked up!!!  What is next Someone will get arrested for public urination at Barnes and noble because Barnes and Noble is a public place and it is a public restroom.  We as people should know better than to go to the bar to drink or to use a public restroom.

You can pass the big 'truck' on the right, but it is illegal\n(...and not a very smart thing to do).

According to the law, it's usually called theft and yes, that's illegal.  Often accompanied with B&E (breaking and entering).

i don't want gps being used on me in any way. too many ways the technology could be abused and this would be setting a dangerous precedent. the fourth amendment would protect against this as an unlawful search, because there is no probable cause to believe that everyone would be breaking the law.

it is illegal everywhere.

No, that's horrible.  It's not a Broadway production or anything.  Only stop if you intend on getting out and helping.  Otherwise, just keep driving.  Stopping and rubbernecking causes more traffic complications.

If the girl is one of my daughters, yes, it is illegal. \n\nAnd dangerous, too. \n\nI have five acres out back and a brand new backhoe, if you catch my drift.
