Today, to the best of my knowledge, I’ve broken two laws.

I crossed the street and exited the crosswalk before I got to the sidewalk, so technically that was jaywalking.
While I was driving, I was in the middle of the intersection when it turned red. I wasn’t speeding, but I was going too fast that I wouldn’t have been able to stop before the intersection, so I went through it while it was Yellow, and the light changed before I was entirely through the intersection.

At least those laws make sense. They are here to keep us safe and protect property. But then you have the weird ones that make NO sense at all.

Maybe at the time they were created, but probably not (in my opinion). Take a look at this list.
