Laws of Gravity Falls

Template:ObjectThe 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 [Quentin Trembley] who was legally insane," it has many laws which are just as insane. After suffering a concussion and falling into a ditch, discovering Gravity Falls, Trembley wrote the town charter. Despite over 150 years having gone by since Gravity Falls was initially founded, and at least three other mayors having been in office, many of the odd laws remain unchanged.

Laws

Gravity Falls' unconventional laws include:

• As of 1922, beavers have the right to vote.
  • In "The Stanchurian Candidate," a report claims that a beaver is endorsing Stan's campaign.
• Gravity Falls is the first and only city to officially outlaw "Moon People."
• The right to marry a woodpecker.
  • The woodpecker guy is married to a woodpecker in "Irrational Treasure," and tells Dipper Pines that it is still "very legal."
• Anyone in possession of the physical, legal document to a property gains ownership of that property (Finders Keepers Law).
  • 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.
  • In "Scary-oke" Soos is seen reading a newspaper which features an article about Gideon, who was previously arrested, 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.
• Town residents and visitors are forbidden from speaking of Weirdmageddon, and face tasering by law enforcement should they do so (The Never Mind All That Act).
  • Following the town's recovery from Weirdmageddon in "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," Mayor Tyler Cutebiker announces the creation of the "Never Mind All That" Act, citing everyone's desire to forget the traumatic events after its passing.
