So, the law against wearing a postal delivery worker uniform unless you are one actually makes a lot of sense. Having briefly worked as a delivery person (UPS, not USPS), they are serious about the uniform because people will let you in to a surprising number of places if you are holding a box and wearing a delivery person uniform. This innocent social tendency could very easily be misused with criminal intent, and so it makes some sense to regulate that unless the government is actually paying you to deliver the mail, you can't go around looking like that's what you're doing
It took several cases of people taking advantage of service uniforms to make it a federal crime as well. A lot of laws I'm seeing that are "weird" are more about common sense, but people seem to try and take advantage of whatever they can, so these "weird" laws exist, because some idiot(s) abused it in the past.
my work lost printers to a thief with a fake post office uniform. Let the guy in, let him take multiple printers with no one questioning anything.
Yeah, I'm guessing anyone who is at a place to do something illegal isn't worried whether it's legal for them to wear a postal workers uniform or not. I believe it's illegal to wear a disguise or misrepresent yourself in any way for the purpose of committing a crime, for example you can't show fake ID that says you work for someone you don't to gain access to somewhere or wear the uniform such as the gas company, cable company, pest control etc.
Can get into any apartment LMFAO
Seriously though. You want to get in somewhere? A polo, a badge, and a clipboard is usually all you need. The badge really doesn't even have to be all that high quality. It's actually a little scary to be honest >_>

What did they think banning the spoons would do against drug abuse. The thought that someone would be like 'ah damn I can't get my hands on a tiny spoon for my drugs. Guess I just won't do drugs I guess 🤷🏼♂️' is so funny to me.

I think its actually a good rule. Especially in the US corporations will try and get away with as much shady shit as humanly possible when it comes to labeling on processed food. Given any subjective labeling they will push it to its furthest line to mislead and increase sales. You know damn well there's no love in processed food products anyway.

I can definitely see why adding 'love' as an ingredient is so serious. I have severe allergies, so I rely on accurate ingredients labels to remain breathing after I eat my food. If brands could just start putting whatever they want there to try and draw attention to themselves, that could be seriously annoying and dangerous to people with allergies.
*F I N A L L Y*
I'm not so worried that this will happen.
Instead I think allowing them to add abstract notions as ingredients leaves the door open to all kinds of deceptive advertisement.
You make a good point. People with allergies to cum could be very concerned if they see "love" listed under the ingredients 🤔
@@MrMarinus18 Yeah, if you can just add whatever non-ingredient thing you want to the label, you could try and pass off something like sugar water as an “IQ Enhancer” just by adding an ingredient called that to the label. Sure most people wouldn’t fall for it, but Homeopathy companies still make a lot of money.
@@zacyquack Yeah, you need very clear laws as corporations have armies of lawyers to go through every single possible loophole.

@pipolwes000 That's not a list of ingredients, it's a slogan. Nobody cares about (most) slogans.
"I wanted to keep doing coke but I couldn't get any tiny spoons." said no one ever.

McDonalds coffee stirrers worked the best. lol
Whatever the number, it is greater than the number who gave up cocaine bc of the inconvenience of picking up little spoons rather than mail ordering them.
Am I the only one who's never used a little spoon for coke? The little spoons are for heroine.
@@Adventrium No. Do not snort heroine. It could stop your heart.
One time my friends and I half-jokingly decided to do a random spell we found online to summon rain. It was one of those days late in the school year where the teachers just forced everyone out into the horrid heat and ignored us. We were sweltering, a few of them were genuine practicing wiccans, and well kids get desperate. So I guess we're going to jail.
*YEP*
Under age? Different rules apply.
I remember that one case (maybe this one?) of "love" as an ingredient was actually mostly about a factory that was failing to maintain the most basic hygiene standards. The love bit was just one more cherry on top.

Me being an Amazon driver, people still get mad at me when I tell them it’s illegal to put the package it their mailbox because they fail to realize that the mailbox is government property.
I never would have considered that, but it makes sense. I wonder if the country I live in does the same thing.
@@torgranael It depends but I’m sure that’s a universal rule. Since mail is like top private property. I would look up your local laws about that.
I know that passports, ID cards and banknotes are in fact property of the government. That is also why defacing banknotes (like by drawing or writing on them) is technically a crime. In some places it's even more than that. In Thailand banknotes carry the a picture of the king, so stepping on them (like to prevent them from being blown away by the wind) would be an offense to the king and might land you a 15 year sentence.
@@HappyBeezerStudios I read somewhere that counterfeiting coins used to carry the death penalty in many parts of the world. Coins were valued by weight and the metal used, and the markings on the coin were a seal of approval that they met a certain standard of purity. Counterfeiting was seen as defamation of the crown, hence the death penalty.
Honestly that pretty stupid to me. Why would the mailbox be government property. Also why can't you do with your money what you want to do..
The "love" thing actually makes sense to me. Sure, putting "love" as an ingredient is pretty harmless and no one would take it seriously, but listing ingredients accurately is a really important legal issue. And if people can put "love" as an ingredient, I'm certain less than scrupulous companies will be happy to push the boundaries and list other abstract concepts that can be misleading such as "positive energy" and it can very quickly turn into things that sound like ingredients but are just corporate buzzwords.
Exactly.
Not to mention allergy issues. As a person with multiple food allergies, having food labels be both accurate and precise is actually really damn important to me, and literal life or death to some of my loved ones. While "love" is obviously just a cutesy joke, ingredient lists being clear, accurate and precise is a disability issue. Imagine if an emergency broadcast system just started playing random pop songs with no explanation. While obviously the songs are not actually relevant information, confusing people by junking up channels used to communicate life and death information with silly stuff is a big deal.

Meanwhile my cat wanted to go outside and changed its mind because it's raining and it asked again ten seconds later. I said he doesn't want to go outside because the weather hasn't changed. My cat was like, you can't prove I made it stop and went outside. Every time, man! Every time! One of these days I'm gonna learn how he does that.
I was just thinking about that...

13:20 - I love how you clarify that the weather-changing bit was specifically because of cloud-seeding and that there is a physical act one can undertake to try and influence the weather, rather than pulling a Kim Jong Il and just changing the whether through force of being the Dear Leader.
Or like Storm from the X-Men.
Or being a witch claiming it's spells, but really you just boil off gallons of water all day in your cauldron and take credit.
Exactly it sounds silly but cloud seeding is potentially very harmful-- rain is vitally important and the air only has so much moisture in it, if you make it rain one place, it will NOT RAIN someplace else, the place it would have otherwise rained. Allowing people to do that willy-nilly would result in "cloud wars" where people seed clouds and cause rain, leading to droughts elsewhere. Farmers would be constantly struggling to buy plots of land upwind of their business rivals and rob them of critical moisture, meaning that those farmers would them have to rely on irrigation and strain local aquifers which would also be robbed of rain.
I remember a company that sold "canned unicorn meat". It was a tin can with a unicorn plushie inside. They got a letter sent to them saying that they couldn't sell it as unicorn meat is not FDA approved.

I get a strong feeling of "each safety regulation is written in blood" for the food ingredient law. What about love being filler material like in animal feed.
Some immoral CEO sees 15 percent filler material in animal feed and realizes they can add peanut hulls, ground corn cobs, and citrus pulp, just like animal feed does as long as they label it as love in their natural nut bread.
Sadly, true.
Food and drug labeling is serious because people have been seriously harmed in the past...

"Not allowed to wear official uniforms in films..." seems to be a thing throughout the world. I'm reminded of a Canadian show called Due South.

However, this changed when the public spoke out that this show should be allowed to make it accurately.

@@kenna176 anyone charged with trying to alter the weather by performing a rain dance would use the same defense as that conservative radio personality (Alex Jones?) who claimed that what he said on his program was a "performance", not journalism, and therefore it was "understood" that he did not have the same responsibility to tell the "truth" as normal people.
In the same way, "rain dancing" could be put in the same category as "prayer" or "sincere desire", and thus are protected speech.

I used to work at Nashoba Brook Bakery and had this story told to me. "We used to say love was an ingredient and got shut down by the government."
I remember my dad talking about how in his parents generation (so when my grandparents generation were infants- in the 1910s/1920s) if they were going to see their grandparents, they'd be sent with the post. Especially because at the time, that was the fastest way to communicate with relatives across the country- you could post your kids in the morning, and they'd arrive at your relative's house in time for tea.

This made me read food labels.
It raised a couple of questions in my mind.
Is Pepperidge Farms in violation of federal regulations when all their ingredient lists start "MADE WITH SMILES AND..."?
Who regulates Sargento making their cheese at:
One Persnickity Place
Plymouth WI, 53073 ?
See you in court...
That's their legit address though. I've seen lots of companies located on places/lanes/drives named after the company. I would imagine they pay for that, and Sargento probably just opted to pay to change the street name to Persnickety Place instead of Sargento Place.
The ridiculous part of 330 is not that you can’t change weather without permission but the fact you need permission from secretary of commerce 😂

Yep. The food laws are very precise due to past bad behavior. There is a regulation for how much of peanut butter has to be real peanuts because it was found to be cheaper to just use corn oil.
I can think of one counter example: Supposedly there's a law in Alaska against dropping moose out of airplanes. Not because someone dropped a moose out of an airplane, but because they dropped moose droppings out of an airplane and PETA threw a fit because they didn't understand the difference between poop and the actual animal. (This is simplified and based on a TikTok I saw a year ago, so if I'm completly wrong, I'd like to know who actually tried to drop a moose out of an airplane)

The catch is they put it in the ingredients list as opposed to the advertising. The ingredients list can contain only ingredients that can be clinically detected. So until a lab can detect "love" as an ingredient and in a specified quantity (woe to any mass producer at THAT point), it can't be put on the list.
@@lordlundar Not really what they were talking about. FDS is talking about a corporation deciding "Well when your in love your body produces endorphins, thus opioids. So we added a legal amount of heroin to our food. It's also quite addictive." or "We added a ton of sugar because everyone loves it!"
@@kuzmavolkov - first I thought you were referencing the FDA but simply misspelled it, but then realized you were talking about the original poster (OP), “Film Doctor Studios” but used the initialism of FDS as if it were common parlance.
Then again, maybe I’m the one out of touch as I should’ve heard about the notorious FDS by now.
@@kuzmavolkov then that use of love would obviously be illegal, it shouldn't cause the use of love as an ingredient for all purposes share that fate though
@@kuzmavolkov They also just could have people jizz into the cake.

Love your presentations Legal Eagle. This was a particularly interesting video. On a side note, I don't think I ever want anyone's 'love' in my food.
It's nice that the government is no longer such a shitshow that every episode has to be about some other travesty of law and we can have this silly situations again.
Did you miss the part where ol' #45 managed to get away with falsifying weather reports, and how his administration basically made it a rule to never insinuate that he was in the wrong?

8:57 "Is love measured in grams, ounces, or pounds?" In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee? In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?
How about love?
Measure in love...
Seasons of love...
Since you can't measure Love, the FDA will have to allow it, because they have to prove that the manufacturer didn't include that as an ingredient. Challenge it in the courts and you'll win on the basis of the owner of the company is innocent until proven guilty. They can't prove they're guilty of mislabeling the item's ingredients so they're innocent.
If you try to sell it in the EU, it BETTER be measured in grams, or that is a labeling violation right there.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles and some kind of innocence is measured out in years, no?
Yay! Legal Eagle is back in my feed!
"The US regulates food, cosmetics, and drugs pretty heavily"

The Simpsons' "The secret ingredient is Love" joke just got a whole new punchline.
Well it apparently HAS to be kept secret legally.
And Kung Fu Panda's "The secret ingredient is... Nothing!" bit. I'd imagine you'd get cracked down upon much harder if you listed "nothing" as an ingredient.

As a former USPS worker, its hilarious what you CAN send through the mail. Such as bees, shovels (which don't require any sort of packaging, just a shipping label), and I do remember seeing an alligator (illegally shipped).
There was a company on Shark Tank years ago that would ship a potato for you. Potato Parcel. Man, people will buy anything. I think there's another that mails rubber balls for you. No box.

why do people heat heroin in a spoon anyway?
@@GhostEmblem Presumably all the same reasons we heat soup in a saucepan, except you're not about to inject an entire saucepan worth of heroin.
Youngins don't remember all the jokes about George W Bush being born with a silver spoon under his nose.
@@FabbrizioPlays So for no reason? It doesn't need to be heated at all?
@@GhostEmblem so that it dissolves in the water
gotta say this because my dad was a postal worker, the motto that is attributed to the postal service actually wasn't made by them, it was found on an old building they bought to turn into a post office, and as far as I'm aware, nobody knows the original company who the motto belonged to.
Great info!

i combed through states indecency laws for a school project (i was looking for, among other things, affirmative defenses for prostitution convictions) and there’s a bunch of wild state laws buried in there. it’s illegal to fight a bear in alabama, swear on sundays in many states, and take the lord’s name in vain in even more. there’s also a huge number of adultery laws still on the books

My favourite running gag on this channel is opening a 15-45 minute video with a nightmare fact about the United States legal system in the introductory paragraph and then continuing to the subject matter for 20 minutes and never addressing that again.
"We have four times the per capita prison population of the Peoples' Republic of China and there are no ways to know the full list of criminal laws in this country. Now lets talk about the postal service!"
"Blood", "Sweat" and "Tears" are not common or usual names of ingredients either.
Do have a taste of my 10g tears, 20g sweat and 150g blood cocktail, officer.
To be fair, they are considered contaminants. And potentially carry contagion. Love, however...
But it is the name of a musical group.
They are for cannibals
you've never eaten cake made from blood, sweat, and tears?
How most laws work:
Somebody does something illegal.
U.S. Gov: “No that’s illegal.”
Then said illegal thing is used by the US military extensively in Vietnam.
Vietnam deployed soldiers: *carrying ice cream cones in their back pockets on Sunday* "do you guys ever wonder if we're the bad guys?"
The effectiveness of Vietnamese guerilla warfare in repelling the US invasion has always been overstated.
What actually happened was a bunch of US troops illegally dressed in USPS uniforms invaded, and in a cunning plan guaranteed to foil any postal worker, the guerillas simply gave the invaders their home addresses and watched as they disastrously visited the wrong address on repeat and left 'sorry we missed you' style messages.
If I remember correctly, they never get congressional approval for any of that mess anyway
I doubt like 3 laws are a majority of the federal laws we have but ok.
I know what you mean.
But still, love is bad kids. Avoid it when possible.

Fun fact regarding that clip from mean girls of Karen as the weather girl: in that ending montage of Mean Girs, the song that plays is the same song that plays at the end of the first live action Mortal Kombat movie. This fact does nothing, changes nothing, but I remember watching mean girls the first time and when that clicked in my head, it made me chuckle.

objection overruled, the court is fine with this decision.
One of the biggest issues with the Federal government, is that you need to ask the federal government to sue the federal government. For instance, say you are walking your dog or you're waiting by the mailbox for your mail and get hit by the mail carrier's vehicle. You CANNOT sue the person who is driving. You have to sue the federal government over the person's negligence. In doing that, you will need to ask permission from the federal government to sue the federal government. That's a massive, "catch 22", so to speak. I was in a similar situation with a body of government that crippled me for life and in order to try and just get the money for lost wages, medical bills, and costs of living, lost my case because the federal government deemed that I was one thing, then contradicted themselves in a later argument, saying I was another. I won't get into the details as it is a very long story and took a long time to even get to how they did so or what they claimed I was BUT it really screwed up my life and to this day, it's making things worse for me due to the known outcome of me losing my case and the difficulties I face day to day due to my disability. On top of that the inability of any of my lawyers, "to see a win" in appealing the decision is a hard thing to counteract. Essentially I got injured incredibly badly, obviously, but the government claimed no fault of their own even though it was an employee of the government that was the cause of my injury. For the rest of my life I will be unable to use my leg and there are no repercussions on their end but for me it's changed my life forever...
I halfway expected you to cover civil asset forfeiture here, since suing someone's stuff is pretty insane. Have you done a video on civil asset forfeiture yet?
