One peculiar law involves feeding pigeons in San Francisco. It’s illegal to feed pigeons or any other bird on the city streets, and offenders face hefty fines. The police in San Francisco take immediate action upon receiving reports of such activity.

Svalbard, a Norwegian island in the Arctic Ocean, has strict rules. It’s illegal to give birth or die there. Every visitor to this visa-free place must abide by these regulations. The extreme cold prevents bodies from decomposing, so dying is forbidden. Pregnant women must leave the island before giving birth, as childbirth is also against the law.
