My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

§183 StGB prohibits men from "exhibitionist acts", which is nowadays reduced to meaning "indecent exposure" but in the past was used to discriminate LGBTQ people. It is only prosecuted upon request though.
