I like to keep up on what is illegal and what isn’t. That way I can stay out of jail.
If you were planning on going to the nearest tall hill and pointing your laser pointer at some passing planes tonight you better not tell the authorities. It is now illegal to point a laser pointer at a flying airplane in the US.
The US House has found that laser pointers are “an imminent threat to aviation security.”
Here is how you do it: go to the nearest airport and shine a laser into the cockpit as the plane is landing. If you do this late at night it can cause the pilots to temporarily lose “night vision” and thus crash the plane. So don’t do it. It is illegal.
Also illegal is dog fighting. Otherwise known as putting a dog trained to fight and kill other dogs into a pit with another such dog and betting on which will emerge victorious. See also: cock fighting.
This has been illegal for a long time. Dog fighting has recently been in the news because Ron Mexico, A.K.A. Michael Vick was busted for housing a dog fighting operation on a property he owned. Whether he knew about it or condoned the dog fighting is another issue.
Michael Vick’s co-workers are standing beside him though. According to other NFL players: Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels of the Washington Redskins, dog fighting isn’t a big deal because everyone is doing it. During an interview with WAVY-TV they claimed to know lots of places to go for a good dog fight down some back roads. They also wouldn’t be surprised if policemen, judges and politicians were involved in dog fighting rings. Portis himself implicated the President, with a laugh.
Portis later stated that he himself doesn’t engage in the practice of dog fighting and he doesn’t condone it either. Portis is hilarious, I only hope he was wearing a goofy looking wig during that TV interview. Or maybe a coat made out of Pitbull fur.
