Amusing Out-Dated Laws
Every state, and even some cities and towns, have outdated laws that are still technically in effect, but most are no longer followed. I've compiled a list of silly and outrageous laws, simply as proof that some strange and superstitious folks had too much power at one time or another in American history.
Alabama - While it's perfectly legal to pick your nose while driving, flicking your booger out the window of a moving vehicle can get you in big trouble. Alaska - It is illegal to take a picture of a live bear. Better shoot it before getting that scenic shot! Arizona - If a thirsty vagrant comes knocking on your door asking for a glass of water, denying to serve them is a punishable offense. Arkansas - Beating your wife once a month? Go for it! More than once a month and the cuffs come out. California - Make sure and take down your Christmas lights before February 2, or you could be in for a nasty fine. Colorado - Your pet goat is not allowed to graze on grass that is on city property. Aww, come on. Connecticut - In Devon, Connecticut, it is illegal to walk backwards after sunset. Delaware - Whispering within 300 feet of a church is considered a crime. Florida - All pregnant pigs must be allowed to roam free, anywhere in the state. Georgia - It is illegal to cuss on land-line phones in Columbus, Georgia. Hawaii - No billboard signs allowed in the state. Idaho - Fishing while on the back of an elephant is strictly prohibited. Illinois - In Chicago, it is illegal to eat in any building which is currently on fire. Well, duh! Indiana - Backing into a parking spot can land you a fine. Iowa - Any one-armed pianist cannot charge for his or her performance. Kansas - If you find yourself in Topeka, Kansas any time soon, be sure not to sing in the rain, as it is illegal. Kentucky - Throwing tomatoes at a public speaker is punishable by up to one year in jail. Louisiana - In Jefferson Parish, all garbage fed to hogs must first be cooked, no matter what the garbage contains. Maine - skydiving is considered a crime in Maine. Maryland - Performing or receiving oral sex is punishable. Massachusetts - It is illegal to park your donkey in a bath tub. Umm, excuse me, what? Michigan - Tossing a hoop skirt in any public area will land you a $5 fine. Minnesota - Better take that duck off your head before crossing state lines into Minnesota! Mississippi - A man promising to marry a woman simply to get into her pants is a crime. It's about damn time. Missouri - The next time you're in University City, Missouri, make sure the last thing you do is honk someone else's horn, as it may result in a fine. Montana - If a man is traveling with a sheep in the back of his truck, a chaperone must be present at all times. I'd hate to hear the story that brought this law into effect. Nebraska - Got herpes and living in Nebraska? It's illegal for you to get married. Nevada - It is perfectly legal to hang someone if they shot your dog. New Hampshire - Keeping a beat of a song or incessant tapping or clapping is considered a crime. New Jersey - In Blairstown, New Jersey, any "shade" tree that is blocking a light or air source must be chopped down. New Mexico - Driving or riding an ATM in Mountain View Cemetery in Deming, New Mexico is a big no-no. They don't want anyone to have any fun. New York - Flirting can land you a $25 fine. North Carolina - Impotency is considered probably cause for ending a marriage. Ouch. North Dakota - Pretzels and beer cannot legally be served simultaneously by any establishment.
