That's the dumbest law I've ever heard of. That's dumber than the law making it illegal to kill a Sasquatch in BC.

Yep. I got a ticket when I lived there. I still haven't paid it.
I'm guessing their rationale is that a vehicle can be stolen and then it takes substantial police resources to track it down...not to mention that the vehicle could be used to crash into stores/malls/banks to try to break in. It is the only rationale that I can really come up with to try to explain it.
