Push-Ups are Illegal in Santa Monica
Categories: Fitness
This may sounds like an April Fool's joke, but I kid you not: In Santa Monica, a man was recently arrested for doing push-ups and sit-ups on a popular running and jogging path. What's the problem here? There's just one issue -- a sign that clearly states that running and jogging only are allowed on the strip of land.
OK, I guess the better question is: Why? Years ago, the running-only rule was established to keep homeless people and vagabonds from camping out on the strip of land so legally speaking, the police do have a right to stop people from exercising. Still, it's awfully silly to arrest someone for doing something good. Couldn't they implement some sort of 'no stopping' rule?

This is a total joke. I live in LA and to think that my taxes are being wasted so these cops can enforce this law in this way is ridiculous. Just to be clear, the cops should not be to blamed for this one. They're just upholding the law. But that law is the dumbest law I've ever heard of in my life.
Thanks for the laughs!
All the Best,
