Today we will explore some informative websites. We will look up different sites and present to the class the link to the article, a brief summary, and what makes the site informative for our class. I have provided an example below in my post.
This site discusses the amount of time and effort wasted on trying to enforce victimless laws. It is insightful because it makes a good point about full prisons.
AnimalLaw.com provides access to legislation and legal matters pertaining to the rights and welfare of animals. It helps protect animals from animal cruelty, neglect, and other things pertaining to the welfare of animals.
This website shows all of the RSA's (laws) in the state of New Hampshire. It is broken down by the catagories that the laws would fall under. These are all up to date and accurate.
The Arkansas legislature passed a law that only mother nature can control. saying that the Arkinsa river cant rise above the main street bridge in Little Rock. I wonder how they ever even passed that law.
This website shows the laws and rules of any animal. It tells the the rules of agriculture and gives model laws to show you what you can and cannot do. It's informative because it gives you laws with animals and tells you what you can have and can't have.
http://www.ilsdole.gov.ph/Publication/BataMan/Aug2004/bm_Aug04_04.htm This site asks where the good laws have gone. It talks about child laborers and globalization.
This site discusses the abortion laws for all of the states in the US. It states if you need a parents permission or both parents permission to recieve one. Is this reasonable for the teenagers?
http://www.geocities.com/jackpillemer/laws.html IN THIS WEBSITE THERE ARE A TON OF LAWS THAT ARE NOT FAIR, ENFOCEABLE, REASONABLE OR UNDERSTANDABLE. FOR EXAMPLE...IN CHICAGO, ILLINOISE IT IS ILLEGAL TO FISH IN PAGAMAS. (NOT REASONABLE) THERE ARE ABOUT 20 MORE...
I found the law "It is illegal to leave your house if you are not wearing underwear." to be Unenforceable because it can not be enforced with out violating the person in question.
I found this website when searching for controversial subjects... Since drug laws are already hard to enforce, will President Obama decide to lower the punishments for posession and legalize or will he increase punishment? How do you think ideas of legalization of marijuana are going to settle within both parties?
http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/tabid/18283/Default.aspx This site talks about laws against littering in Ohio. Littering from a motor vehicle can be fined up to a 100 dollars and you can be issued a ticket. Its fair enough, but seriously unless your dumb enough to throw garbage in front of a police officer just wait and throw it in a trash can. And if you do litter in front of a police officer then you should get a ticket for just plain stupidity.
This site discusses the benifits of the legalization of marijuana as well as how the criminalization of marijuana is causing more harm than good. It is insightful because it connects the benifits of leagalizing and regulating marijuana use to the state of our economy and cutting down on organized crime in America.
This site talks about how Candadian police have stopped targeting illegal downloaders who download only for personal use. They realize they can't stop it, and are focusing more on copyright violations that involve medicine, etc.
In Ontario there is now a ban on smoking in a vehicle with a passenger under the age of 16. This isn't a bad idea, but it's just going to do so hard to enforce. If caught, the fine is $200 Candanian.
This Site explains and discusses, how hard it is to enforce the law "Banning Cigarettes", I believe that smoking is very hard to start banning in public places including bars, but it should be up to the owners of those facilities to decide if smoking is allowed in their buildings or not and NOT THE GOVERMENT!
THis website is about the laws coming out about possesing marajuana. If caught with less than an ounce, you get a fine of $100. If caught smoking by the police, you wont get punished for not showing ID or giving a false name.
This article is about the legelality of piracy, and its impact on the swedish political scene. It discusses the issues and morality of the monitoring of personal communication. These laws are inenforcible unless we decide to monitor each and every computer. Big brother anyone????
In the state of New Hampshire, it is illegal to take seaweed from the beach. This law is un-enforceable because the only way to catch a person in the act is at night, so they could just wait until day to take the seaweed (if they wanted it that badly).
This website is all about how prop 8 (the ban on gay marraiges) is completely unfair. The website pretty much says you can't legislate love. (or shouldnt be able too because apperently they can and did)
This website is discussing whether laws against domestic violence are fair because they are only protecting woman and not men. It's talking about how there is a Division on Domestic Violence hot line for women, but for men it does not exist.
This article explaines a new american law that might be put in place banning silent camera phones. People have been taking pictures of mothers and their children without them knowing. You would still be able to take pictures with your phone, but you will have to have the sound turn on. It is meant to stop perverts from taking pictures. This seems like an inenforcible law.
This article talks about how some laws are sexist against males as opposed to females. The key example talks about the draft and how men are required to sign up for the draft where females are not. A point raised in the article is how females always argue for equal rights and then expect special treatment.
onion laws This site deals with revealing a bunch of laws regarding the uses of onions. Some of my favorites are: "A wife has the legal right in Wolf Point, Montana, to force her spouse to eat raw onions if she finds him drinking."
"In Headland, Alabama, it's against the law for a man to put his arms around or kiss a woman if he has eaten onions within the past four hours."
"In Nacogdoches, Texas There's a strict onion curfew for "young women." Under no circumstances are they allowed to have raw onions after 6 p.m."
"In Budds Creek, Maryland only a dentist can prescribe onions to people over 21 years of age. All others are prohibited from purchasing or eating onions." and the horrible discriminating law thast states;"Any woman over 200 pounds who wears shorts in Ridgeland, South Carolina can be arrested for eating onions in a restaurant or at a public picnic."
Apparently, such laws were all first formed many years ago because onions are an aphrodisiac, but today they just seem unreasonable, unfair and almost impossible to enforce, unless each state has group of poic officers dedicated solely to catching people with onions on their person.
This website is about good Samaritan Laws and how we are protected by them. Samaritan laws are different from state to state. Samaritan laws are ment to protect the recurer. Though if the recurer gets a reward the law, in some states, does not count for them. Also if they are paid in anyway they an't be proteceted by this law. The law will only protect you for a reasonable mistake if you make one. In this case the lawyer defines reasonable. This website shows that not all laws, though made to help the citizen, will help you in that situation. It shows that a lot of laws get complicated and you can always get them on your side. Mostly this law is to help the good samaritan in court. It is basically a way for them to get out of the court.
This article is about Alabama finally removing its ban of interracial marriage. Alabama was the only state this law still running. This law was unenforceable and also very old. One man said that he was very impressed that his twenty year marriage was now legal.
