Stupid State Laws - Florida 15

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Florida

"Citizens may not be caught downtown without at least 10 dollars on their person."


So basically, this law is to get rid of hobos from loitering around the downtowns of Florida.  I guess that makes some sense, but does it apply to everyone?  Because have you seen the citizens of Florida recently?  If the news is to be believed (which it shouldn't), Florida is nothing but meth-addicted drunk rednecks that will more likely have ten beers or lottery tickets on them than ten bucks.  If you apply that fact and this law is actually enforced, then 95% of the population would be in jail at any given time.  How in the hell does that state function if they have laws like this?  Florida, you continue to amaze me with your stupidity.

"Alright rookie, arrest these bums."
"Um, Sarge...."
"Bums are poor, so these bums probably don't have 10 bucks on them and therefore are breaking the law."
"Um, Sarge...."
