looking at seemingly innocent acts that
could land someone in a heap of trouble
we’re not saying the arrests aren’t
legal only that they’re unexpected
number 10 gambling pretty much any
country incorporates laws to supervise
gambling Thailand went one step further
as only horse-racing and the
governmental lottery are legal in the
mid-1930s a gambling Act was passed
which forbid the organization of such
activities resulting in many illegal
casinos popping up all over the nation
you changed your shirt mr. Condon I hope
a little game isn’t causing you to
perspire the government wasn’t done yet
taking over the manufacturer of playing
cards and ruling that a person can only
possess 120 cards at any time those
caught gambling face steep fines or
possibly a stint in jail foreigners
might even be deported number nine
bouncing a check no matter how charming
leonardo dicaprio makes it seem check
fraud is no laughing matter
especially in dubai if it check bounces
a complaint can be filed with the police
who will investigate and prosecute the
offender at that point the issuer either
pays the money or goes to jail okay
let’s say they decide to spend some time
behind bars this doesn’t mean the
offender is off the hook this one has a
flag on it and patriotic checks never
bound wagon once their term is complete
the receiver of the fraudulent check can
then start a legal process all over
again number 8
painkillers have me on a lot of
painkillers oh really what kind
kody vicodin percocet fentanyl oxycontin
pallid oh here’s the war on drugs taken
to the extreme before visiting dubai
pretty much any travel guide worth their
salt suggests that you double check the
medicine you’re traveling with in order
to reduce the risk of drug addiction the
government enforces ace
zero tolerance policy and offenders
could end up in jail or facing
deportation if caught carrying
controlled substances those are designed
for severe menstrual cramps so they
should may be backache common
ingredients like codeine and morphine
require a prescription from a UAE
licensed doctor so any travelers
carrying medicine should bring their
medical documents to avoid trouble
number seven
forgetting your wallet being caught in a
restaurant or a bar without your wallet
is a recipe for embarrassment but
fessing up is probably the best way to
handle it now I want you to go in that
bag which one is it it’s the one that
says bad mother unfortunately things
don’t always work out as restaurants are
well within their rights to bring in the
cops just ask the Italian tourist who
got caught with empty pockets at a New
York steak house he spent the night in
jail for his forgetfulness while these
are freak occurrences Japanese law
requires foreign citizens staying in the
country to carry their residence card at
all times failure to present an ID when
asked could result in an arrest so
better double-check your wallet before
leaving the hotel take my whole wallet
number 6 kissing in public public
decency laws are established for most
countries and vary depending on the
nation’s culture and customs kissing in
public might be perfectly acceptable in
North America and Europe but locking
lips in Dubai is just asking for trouble
public displays of affection make people
very uncomfortable yes
boy Dubai sure has a lot of strict rules
this extends to a married couple who at
most are allowed to hold hands
dancing is also frowned upon and
randomly addressing a woman in a public
space could easily result in jail time
hey how you doing and you guessed it
nudity is prohibited pretty much
everywhere best to keep it in the
bedroom number five swearing oh yeah
this one is no exaggeration say a bad
word while visiting certain parts of
Australia and risk spending the next six
months behind bars Queensland New South
Wales and Victoria have all passed
offensive language laws to reduce
vulgarity within a public space you know
fornication Oh Bertie please won’t
somebody think of the children
trick is something a whore does for
money considered a summary offence
alongside vandalism and begging this law
prohibits language deemed disorderly
threatening or indecent what did you say
what I said if caught the potty-mouthed
perpetrator usually incurs a fine or
community service but imprisonment is an
option however unlikely number four
killing a cow this definitely varies
depending on the state but the slaughter
of cows is prohibited in certain parts
of India while Western countries have
animal cruelty laws this is not really
the same thing
[Music]
cattle holds an important symbolic
status for religions like Hinduism and
Buddhism as it’s seen as a
representation of the earth and all
living creatures to safeguard the cows
sanctity laws were passed to restrict
the production of beef why is the beef
the Indian state of Gujarat recently
agreed to raise the maximum sentence for
cattle slaughter to life imprisonment
okay Russ you drove room number three
Wi-Fi piggybacking no one likes a
cheapskate the guy across the alley has
a TV I have binoculars and this is
especially true in Singapore accessing a
neighbor’s unprotected wireless internet
without authorization might not seem
like a big deal but it is kind of a
morally gray area the Wi-Fi pathway
we’re not savages the computer misuse
and cybersecurity Act identifies
piggybacking
as a form of hacking with the offender
liable to a massive ten thousand dollar
fine or a three year prison sentence you
can’t do this you can’t take away the
Wi-Fi at least two people have been
convicted of Wi-Fi mooching with one
receiving a three-month jail sentence
for using another person’s Wi-Fi to post
a bomb threat number two
paying with stacks of coins pennies
themselves are not illegal but their use
in excess can be problematic
it might seem hilarious to pay a parking
ticket with a barrel of coins but
vendors are known to reject these
payments despite it being legal tender
this usually comes down to a fear that
the coins might be forged something –
Chinese tourists visiting Paris found
out the hard way after trying to pay a
hotel bill with one euro coins which
turned out to be authentic in the u.s.
people have been charged with disorderly
conduct for paying with coins but it
usually has more to do with how they
were physically delivered in bulk
number one gum know the title is not a
typo importing and selling gum is
illegal in Singapore chewing gum is
really gross chewing gum I hate
introduced in the early 90s the
government issued this ban as a response
to the excessive litter caused by people
sticking gum on well everything although
the act of chewing gum is technically
allowed it might as well be illegal
since it’s nearly impossible to find any
outside of nicotine and certain
sugar-free gums sold in pharmacies for
medical use unless of course there’s a
secret underground black-market peddling
juicy fruit double mint and big red do
