Laws of Gravity Falls are various, odd statutes exclusive to the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon.
History
Because Gravity Falls "was founded by a mayor who was legally insane,"[1][2] it has many laws which are just as insane.[2] Despite over 150 years having gone by since Gravity Falls was initially founded[1] and at least two other mayors having been in office,[1][3] many of the odd laws remain unchanged.
Laws
Among Gravity Falls' unconventional laws include:
- The right to marry a woodpecker.[2]
- An unnamed man is married to a woodpecker in "Irrational Treasure," and this marriage is mentioned by Soos in "Society of the Blind Eye."
- Anyone in possession of the physical legal document to property consequently gains ownership of that property. (Finders Keepers Law)[2]
- In "Dreamscaperers," Gideon steals the deed to the Mystery Shack, and therefore gains ownership of the Mystery Shack. In "Gideon Rises," Stan Pines takes the deed back, consequently regaining ownership.
- Instead of juvy, children are sent to adult prison.[2]
- In "Scary-oke" someone is seen reading a newspaper which features an article about Gideon Gleeful, who was previously arrested[4], having been sent to "the big house." In "TV Shorts 1," Gideon has his own segment entitled "Li'l Gideon's Big House!" All of his fellow prisoners are adult males.
