Ok, what are the stupidest laws in Indiana. In some times and locations in this country, a woman on top during sex could have been considered sodomy and a felony since it was an "unnatural sex act".
Which law in Indiana do you think is the stupidest, please provide a cite!
I will start off.
IC 35-45-5-4
Promoting professional gambling; acts constituting; boat manufacturers; public utilities
(c) When a public utility is notified by a law enforcement agency acting within its jurisdiction that any service, facility, or equipment furnished by it is being used or will be used to violate this section, it shall discontinue or refuse to furnish that service, facility, or equipment, and no damages, penalty, or forfeiture, civil or criminal, may be found against a public utility for an act done in compliance with such a notice. (Emphasis added)
Once, the IGC served a search warrant on a business. They only found the patrons playing monopoly for fun. Nothing was confiscated, no charges were filed, no one was arrested.
However, the IGC sent letters to the utility companies requiring the utilities to turn off the business's power. Apparently, the IGC consulted its crystal ball and determined that the establishment would be used in the future for illegal gambling. So with no hearing and no requirement of any reasonable suspicion, the IGC was able to effect a taking of an individuals property right. Who needs due process of law when you have a crystal ball?
