To some people this day is known as the holiday we use to celebrate Independence Day or the day we declared our secession from Britain. It is a time when people go camping or picnicking or simply enjoy the fireworks, but this is not the case in North Dakota. There it seems that this day is a time where no arrests can be made!
Sound crazy? In North Dakota no one may be arrested on the Fourth of July. The consequences of this law if it is well known could be extreme and quite crazy. Imagine, having a day where you couldn’t get in trouble for any act you committed! The possibilities…
Any ways, the law really does say “ No person shall be arrested during a sitting of the Senate or House of Representatives, within the hall where such a session is being held, or in any court of justice, during the sitting of such court, or on Sunday, or on the Fourth of July.”
Wow, so if just having the fourth of July as a freebie day wasn’t enough, apparently people also can’t be arrested on Sundays or during government hearings! Either the people in North Dakota are very nice and nothing happens or no one knows about this law. If the same law was in effect in Pennsylvania I can think of several people personally that would love to take advantage. Especially the part about Sundays…
So wake up North Dakota and smell the freedom! No arrests on the 4th of July, so you better get cracking on plans for that one thing you always wanted to do but knew you couldn’t get away with! Want to smash your neighbor’s lawn gnomes or key your boss’s car? If so then this is the perfect day to do so (provided that you don’t get caught)! Happy Independence Day North Dakota, and by independence I mean freedom to commit untold acts and not be arrested for one whole day!!! Happy holidays ;)
Wow. This law is a little crazy! If you can't get arrested on this day, there is a large possibility for so many bad things to happen. What if there was a serious crime that took place, like a murder, on this day? That would be terrible!
ReplyDeleteNow that's freedom for you. North Dakota, you are an exemplar of the liberty America is supposed to embody. Too much freedom? Hm...
ReplyDeleteWow that's crazy, I can't imagine Pennsylvania EVER having that freedom. I bet that teaches the people of North Dakota to be very nice to one another lol.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't surprise me. North Dakota is the third least populous state, so it's kind of like a continental Alaska, and people know what kind of reputation that state has. And no, I don't hate Alaska, in fact, I was born there.
ReplyDeleteThat is the dumbest law/regulation I've heard of in a long while. If a law like this ever happened to stop fools from being arrested in Las Vegas, there would be heck to pay.
