The world's dumbest law!

On this site http://www.dumblaws.com/ some humorous person has collected the silliest laws world-wide.
So let’s see if we can find what must be the dumbest law anywhere?

Browsing the site I found for my country:

Denmark:
If your vehicle stalls and you leave it on the side of the road, you must mark the vehicle with a red, reflecting triangle. This equipment is only mandatory when the car stalls, not at any other times, however.

Attempt to escape from prison is not illegal. However, if one he is caught he is required to serve out the remainder of his term.

When driving, you must have someone in front of your car with a flag to warn horse drawn carriages that a motorcar is coming. (Jydske lov= law of Jutland, a very old one).

The last one is pure gold.
