What are some of the weird/hilarious/stupid things that are legal in Germany but illegal in other countries (and vice versa)? (lemmy.world)

My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

You can't be punished for breaking out of prison. If caught, you will have to finish your sentence though, and if you were eligible for early release before your escape, you surely won't be any longer. Furthermore, you can still be punished for crimes committed during your escape, like assaulting guards, or bribing them, or damaging property like doors or windows.

The same is true about escaping from the police car if they try to stop you. You'll be charged for dangerous driving, but not for the pursuit itself.
