Editorial

Rid America of ridiculous, useless laws

Pissed off at the actions of others? Did they offend you or your family?
Well, why don't you dig your nose into the law books to find out how you can
prosecute them? There must be some law that they have violated, even if it
is more than 100 years old. The pursuit of justice is the American way,
right?

The recent "cussing canoeist" case in Michigan is a prime example of the
extent some people go to rectify other people's actions that aggravated
them.

While Timothy Joseph Boomer was canoeing in August 1998 outside of Detroit,
Mich., he fell out of his canoe. As he fell into the cold rushing water, he
let out a stream of cuss words. He was angry, unnerved, wet, cold and well,
pissed off. He expressed himself in a way he deemed fit at that moment.

The Associated Press reported that a man who was in a boat nearby with his
wife and two young children testified that Boomer's fit went on for several
minutes.

Boomer was issued a ticket for violating a 105-year-old law against using
vulgar language in front of women and children by a sheriff's deputy, who
heard Boomer's rantings a quarter-mile upstream.

The Michigan law was enacted in 1897 and slightly reworded in 1931 to say
anyone using "indecent, immoral, obscene, vulgar or insulting language in
the presence or hearing of any woman or child shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor."

Boomer was found guilty in 1999, fined $75 and ordered to work four days in
a child-care program.

A Michigan appeals court struck down his conviction and the law Monday. The
appeals panel said it would be "difficult to conceive of a statute that
would be more vague," and noted it violated the First Amendment guarantee of
free speech.

"This ... would require every person who speaks audibly where children are
present to guess what a law enforcement officer might consider to indecent,
immoral, or vulgar for a child's ears," the judges wrote.

The circumstances surrounding the case are ridiculous. And Michigan isn't
the only state with hidden "goofy laws" that may or may not still be on the
books.

According to dumblaws.com, there are quirky laws in our very own Big Sky
Country. In Montana, it is illegal for married women to go fishing alone on
Sundays, and it is illegal for unmarried women to fish alone at all, the Web
site reports.

Enforcement of this law would have women screaming and cursing loud enough
that small children in Michigan could hear them. Then the women could be
issued another ticket for that.

With hidden laws like these around, citizens better cross their T's and dot
their I's. Or they may find themselves in the slammer or wearing orange
vests while raking leaves near the highway. Better yet, let's throw the book
at these ridiculous laws and get rid of them all together.
