A pillow can be considered a "passive" weapon. (Oh yes, pillows are dead dangerous! LOL)
It is illegal to wear a mask. (That's the "Vermummungsverbot" - they want to see your face to be able to identify you!)
It is illegal for ones car to run out of gas on the Autobahn. (You could endanger the traffic running on the other lanes when you stand on the side-way without fuel. LOL)

Actually Thorin....that last one makes perfect sense when you consider the speeds that the vehicles are traveling on the highway.

Yeah but most if not all autobahns have a "stop-lane" (transl?) at their outer sides, as wide as normal street lanes, that you can stop there when your car is broken (for example) without endangering yourself and the speeding traffic on the other lanes (with approximately 100mph).

A similar law in Georgia was, I believe, removed from the books only a dozen or so years ago. It mandated that all motor vehicles must have someone on foot preceeding the vehicle waving a flag, and shouting some particular warning. It was removed after some doofus made a judge extremely angry with him, and the judge actually pulled a fistful of arcane laws out of the book to add to the original offense...
