* ''Donkeys Can't Sleep in Bathtubs and Other Crazy Laws'': The book itself is mainly a list of outright bizarre laws, but the introduction includes an explanation for one law that was blatantly an example of this -- a couple in New York state had hung a clothesline in their front yard and filled it with old clothes, as a way of protesting high taxes, showing the taxes were making them poor. The city fathers didn't like this and responded by passing a law requiring that people have a license to have a clothesline in their front yard (the excuse being that it was to ensure that the city was kept looking tidy), and blocked the couple's attempt to get said license.

* At the finale of ''Literature/TheBlackMagicianTrilogy'', the WizardingSchool revises its laws to make the protagonist Sonea the one exception to the {{ban|OnMagic}} on BlackMagic, at least until she retires and appoints a successor as Black Mage. It's done in part to reward her for saving the country and in part to secure a uniquely powerful asset -- especially since the school's rivals have been exposed as extraordinarily powerful black magic practitioners.
