No Alaska statute specifically makes it illegal to wake a sleeping bear to take a photograph. The statute usually cited for the claim, AS 16.05.783, is titled 'Same day airborne hunting' and governs shooting wolves and wolverines after being airborne. The claim has a real legal kernel, though: AS 16.05.940 defines 'take' to include 'in any manner disturbing' game, and AS 16.05.920 prohibits taking game unless permitted, so deliberately waking a bear - for a photo or anything else - can be prosecuted as an unlawful take.

It is illegal to beat or shake any carpet, rug, or mat in any thoroughfare in the Metropolitan Police District at any time of day. The only exception is door mats, which may be beaten or shaken before 8 AM. The popular "banned before 8 AM" wording is a misquote: 8 AM marks the end of the doormat exception, not the start of the ban.
The Statute forbidding Bearing of Armour decrees that no person may come to Parliament or any other Assembly in the Realm of England wearing any "Force and Armour." The statute applies to all members and visitors to Parliament and makes wearing a full suit of armor an offense.
Vermont's Constitution, Chapter I, Article III, states that while citizens have freedom of religious conscience, those holding elected office must acknowledge belief in a Supreme Being.
