In La Mesa, California it’s illegal to carry over forty pounds of avocados in your car without also carrying a “statement of ownership” of the avocados. If a police officer suspects that you’re transporting more than forty pounds of avocados, he can pull you over and demand to see your statement of ownership. If you can’t produce the statement, he “may seize such avocados without warrant” and turn them over to the Chief of Police.
