Today on Legalese we are taking a break from the more serious topics I usually discuss for a segment I call: Ignorance of the law
This is where we discuss and make fun of laws that are arbitrary, hypocritical, ridiculous or sure to backfire in some hilarious way.
Because as we all know, ignorance is no excuse when breaking the law…
But it IS an excuse when making and enforcing the law.
Today we will be discussing how New York is finally recognizing the very serious problem it has with crime, homelessness and drug abuse by finally taking on the serious issues sure to make a critical difference in the quality of life of its law abiding citizens by banning people under 21 from being able to buy whipped cream.
It is obviously a ridiculous law made all the better by the fact that despite this law being so plainly written there isn’t even any need to break down the legalese of the statute to understand its meaning and scope.
Somehow the bill’s author, its co-sponser and the local NBC affiliate whose article I am getting this story from (linked below) all proved they completely misunderstand what this law says and does.
Turns Out Its Illegal For People Under The Age Of 21 To Buy Whip Cream Canisters In New York
