One of the most archaic laws still in existence up until May 2021 when it was repealed, if you were carrying more than 50kg of potatoes in your vehicle in Western Australia, you could have been breaking the law.
Members of the Potato Marketing Authority were allowed to stop and search your vehicle if they suspected you might have more than 50kg of potatoes on you.
