Indiana has some dumb laws or...hold my law book ya have to hear this one

My favorite one in California: in Chico, you mustn’t detonate any nuclear devices. You risk a $500 fine for doing so.

In Texas , it is illegal to carry wire cutters in your pocket unless they are extending out of it at least 3 inches. A violation of that law would get you hung for cattle rustling back in the day. Today , if LE needed probable cause, they could use that violation to search you or your vehicle.

It's illegal to use Elephants to plow cotton fields in NC... 🤔

Laws are like swords.
They rarely hurt the ones that handle them.

I've heard some random ones, most of which turned out to be more urban legend than real. My favorite is that crystal gazers (AKA fortune tellers) need a special state license to operate.

I think uk laws spread across the whole country. tho there are some medieval ones in some towns that are still a thing today, but they are very rare. 🤔

I once read it is illegal for a married women to parachute in Florida on a Sunday.
And it supposedly illegal to eat Mince Pies here at Christmas.

Garden City NY (America's original suburb) has a law on its book whereby two females with different last names are not allowed to live in the same household.

It's illegal to have drugs in your pocket and have not yet enjoyed them.

But it's legal to have enjoyed them and no longer have them in your pocket.

Im looking forward to some of the answers 😊

Baker Act

Ahhhhhh, "Blue Laws".......

If you get electrocuted to death by touching a powerline , you need to pay a $200 fine 🤷‍♀️

They say it's the armpit of the [b] US.[/b]
