A Joke From The Past - A Law Known As Daylight Robbery

This could only happen in Britain and to be honest not a great deal has changed since the days of William The Third, this law came into force 1696 - Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two.

There must be strange laws around the Globe past and present it would be interesting to hear of some of them.

In the United States of America in the state of Kentucky there is a law from the 1800's still on the legal books of the state.

This law is that it is illegal for a woman to walk down any road without having a man with a club to escort her for her safety. Must have been rough for women in Kentucky in the 1800's to have such a law written.
