After the victim was taken to the hospital, the police were nice enough to pay him a visit and issue him a citation for jaywalking. FAIL!

Freelance Journalist Leah Borromeo was arrested for “impersonating police officers” in London while wearing the above costume during an April Fools Day protest, the London Evening Standard reported. Borromeo said, “If I’m guilty of anything it’s of impersonating a stripper, not a police officer.”

To my knowledge, there is no law against “impersonating a stripper.”

While apparently okay in Hyrule, this would be illegal in Anoka, MN.

In Anoka County, Minnesota, the following things can get you classified as a vagrant, which is a misdemeanor. Which one of these things is not like the other things? (In English, a vagrant is a homeless person or wanderer.)

  • A person who is found loitering on private groundw without consent of the owner and is unable to account for being there.
  • A prostitute who loiters on the streets or public places to solicit for immoral purposes.
  • A person who derives support in whole or in part from begging.
  • A fortune teller.

A law against being a fortune teller! Could anyone have seen that coming?

To be fair, the fortune teller has to get some sort of “support” from fortune telling to be a vagrant, but that could be a simple service trade or small fee. You can see the whole text of the law here.
