    Lloydminster.

    The city has special rules that arise from it being half in the Godless, commie-land of Saskatchewan and half in the soul-sucked-out, running capitalist pig-dog land of Alberta.

      There's a Missouri City in Texas.

        Would be especially interesting if a thing is allowed on one side of the border and disallowed on the other side
        For example playing a nice party of poker on the Indiana side of Michigan city (which is forbidden) and, as soon as you see a policeman coming nearer crossing state borders into the michigan part
        Or setting up a puppet show in the michigan part of the city (where it isn´t illegal) but setting it up in a way, that people from the indiana part of the city can watch it (if you receive money for entertaining people with a puppet show you are fined with 3 $ in Indiana )

          Its about time someone took a stand against those evil puppets! Now, if only we can eradicate those pesky mimes.

            Try a city where half of it is taxed and half isn't.

            Now you have some incentive for originality and inventiveness.

              No, police have the authority to chase you into other jurisdictions. The days of being able to cross the border to escape pursuing police ended in the 1930s. The states all enacted reciprical treaties allowing cops to do that.

              They cannot, however, just come get you if they weren't pursuing you. The have to ask the other state to extradite you.

              So, if you're in a highspeed chase, KCKS cops could following into KCMO. If you were wanted for battery and a KCMO cop saw you on the other side, he couldn't just walk up and arrest you.

                  $3? That sounds like a cop-making-money scam

                    Municipalities can't cross state bounderies since cities generally owe thier self-government to city charters of something similar approved by the state government. Communties that cross state boundaries will be "twin" cities with seperate governments, Kansas City is a good example; as is Fargo, North Dakota and it's twin city of Moorhead, Minnesota.

                      Of course Michigan City used to be part of Michigan.

                        I hear that down here they have some program where a MD cop rides with a DC cop in border jurisdictions so if someone crosses the line you've got someone in the car that can make the arrest. Otherwise the cops can just detain the person and wait for someone from the proper jurisdiction to arrive on the scene to make the arrest.

                          There are movies from the 80s where people do just that.

                          Also, puppet shows are illegal in the US?

                              Obviously only in Indiana
                              There seems to be an "Act to Prevent Certain Immoral Practices"
                              which includes puppet shows as such practices

                              It´s a part of the "dumb laws" that many of the states have and are still in power

                                Arkansas and Texas have Texarkana, which straddles the Texas/Arkansas state line. There's a federal courthouse there that sits on State Line Road and is, technically, in both states. I thnk it's the only federal courthouse in the nation to sit in two states.
