After my thread on frivolous laws suits, I did a search on the web for stupid laws and such. Here is what I found. Some of those are hilarious:
In Clarendon, TX., it is illegal to dust any public building with a feather duster.....
In Borger, TX., it is against the law to throw confetti, rubber balls, feather dusters, whips or quirts (riding crop), and explosive firecrackers of any kind.
Portland, ME., makes it illegal to tickle a girl under the chin with a feather duster.
Georgia law provides that it is a misdemeanor for any citizen to attend church worship on Sunday unless he is equipped with a rifle and it is loaded.
It is contrary to Pennsylvania law to discharge a gun, cannon, revolver or other explosive weapon at a wedding.
In Racine, WS., it is illegal to wake a fireman when he is asleep.
In Fort Madison, IA., the fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire.
A Chicago law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.
San Francisco prohibits elephants from strolling down Market Street unless they are on a leash.
In Normal, IL., it is against the law to make faces at dogs.
Hartford, CT., makes it illegal to educate dogs.
A Belvedere, CA., City Council order reads: "No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash."
In Paulding, OH., a policeman may bite a dog to quiet him.
A law passed in Denver says that the dog catcher must notify dogs of impounding by posting, for three consecutive days, a notice on a tree in the city park and along a public road running through said park.
In Tennessee, you can't shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile.
In Cleveland, it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license.
Kansas law prohibits shooting rabbits from a motorboat.
Los Angeles law forbids hunting moths under a street light.
Atlanta makes it against the law to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.
Texas law says that one must notify their victim 24 hours in advance of murdering or robbing them
Pennsylvania law states..."If you are driving your car and you encounter a group of wild horses, you must pull over and cover your car with a camouflage tarp (not sure about the spelling for camouflage). If the horses seem nervous you disassemble your car piece by piece and hide it in a ditch.
In Macomb Illinois it is illegal to drive a car that is shaped like a wolverine
In Salt Lake City, it's legal to have a gunfight in downtown at high noon as long as you give the sheriff written notification 24 hours in advance.
It's illegal to have sex with a virgin in Washington State.
Wow. I cant beleive some these laws still stand today...They should do a recap or something, even if they're not applied. Someone could try to use it to file frivolous law suits or even use them at their own advantage.
