Weird Laws in California

Good laughs, but I'd love to see references to the actual laws as some of these beyond strange or outright wrong 

For example: It is illegal to lay a mousetrap without a permit.
There is no law that says "it is illegal to lay a mousetrap without a permit" There is a law that says something to the effect that you need a hunting permit to hunt using hunting traps. This person says, "well, that means that you can't lay a mousetrap, because you are hunting mice with a hunting trap"
Same goes for: You can't hunt animal from a moving vehicle unless it is a whale.
Yes there is a law that says you can't hunt animals from a moving vehicle. (most states have similar laws)... But there was or may still be a different law that allows the hunting of whales from a boat (moving vehicle)...
The "laws" sound funny, but they aren't really laws, they are someone saying "well there is a law that allows this, and there is a different law that doesn't allow this, so if you add the laws together, then this or that is legal/illegal.
