Is It Illegal In Oklahoma To Write A Fictional Story In In Which Someone Gets Injured Or Killed?

[Avafaid]

I read an article saying it was, which sucks--
as I live in Oklahoma and would love to write a comic series that does in fact contain some violence, and possibly fictional death. Any information would be great- loopholes or anything.

I'm guessing these people may know more about things...

I thought unicorns tended towards feral, rather than rabid?

[Eve]

It could be both! Maybe it has mystical powers which transport it's attackers to a place of purgatory to spend a hellish lifetime rather than actually killing people.

Or aliens could beam them up?

I so need to go to bed....

How's anyone going to know you were in Oklahoma when you wrote?

Avafaid, being serious , try the Oklahoma Bar. Someone there will either know already or will (if I know lawyers) be sufficiently intrigued to look it up and give you an answer with a smile and no charge:

We have , supposedly, strange laws in English law, which get cited in trivia and in conversation. None ever prove to be as claimed; sometimes they are pure invention, sometimes they rely on some contorted misreading or misunderstanding of some genuine law, which doesn't, in reality, say anything of the kind which is alleged. Just occasionally they are laws, long repealed, which were sensible and valid when passed; an example is the claim that London taxi drivers must always carry a bale of hay in the taxi. That was nearly true; when cabs were horse-drawn, the driver had always to have food for the horse, food kept somewhere convenient, but it did not have to be on the vehicle

How about the one that says a policeman must allow a pregnant woman to use his helmet to pee in if she is desperate to 'go' ? I often hear that one quoted.

[FredPuli43]

No idea Eddie, but that sounds like some undergraduate's,or perhaps a training, inspector's, joke based on some instruction about duty to help the public

[EDDIE51]

Just has a google and it appears the helmet pee is a myth. What the law actually says is that a pregnant woman ( and girls under 6) can not be prosecuted for urinating anywhere even in public.

What if the buffalo led you on with false promises?

[FredPuli43]

And buffalo sons are always bi-, which holds promise !

it used to be the law in the USA that no TV show or film could show anyne getting away with a crime, that changed the year they made the film with ryan o'neal about a jewel thief, it was the first ever movie where the criminal got away with a crime, i'll google him and tell you the name but i think it was it takes a thief because there was a follow up tv show with ray thinnes

[DJHawkes]

oh it was the thief who came to dinner,
but i'm wrong about ray thinnes, oh well, The Invaders maybe confused me.
