Dumb Texas Law


The intentions behind this dumb Texas law are good, but it's just too dumb to work! Check it out, though, you will definitely laugh!

"A recently passed anti-crime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed."


Where to start on this one...oh yes...24 hrs notice?? This dumb Texas law expects criminals, who are already breaking laws, to obey a dumb law like this? Silly Texans.

Can you picture it now? Criminal calls up future victim and says, "Yes, hello is this Mary? I just wanted to formally tell you that I will be stealing your new plasma TV tomorrow while you are gone. Would you mind leaving the door unlocked? I'm kind of bad at picking locks..."
