I’m Under Arrest for What? Fifty Bizarre U.S. Laws
By: Annie Tucker Morgan
I’ve never claimed to have extensive knowledge of U.S. legislation throughout history, but it’s safe to say that I and most people I associate with are law-abiding citizens … or not. As it turns out, every state in this country has at least one wacky legal stipulation that could land residents in hot water if they don’t comply. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Alabama
It’s illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
Alaska
Whispering in someone’s ear while he’s moose hunting is prohibited.
Arizona
Cutting down a cactus may earn you a twenty-five-year prison term.
Arkansas
It’s illegal to mispronounce the name of the state of Arkansas.
California
You may not eat an orange in your bathtub.
Colorado
It’s unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor (Denver).
Connecticut
A pickle cannot actually be a pickle unless it bounces.
Delaware
It’s illegal to get married on a dare.
Washington, D.C.
It’s against the law to post a public notice calling someone a coward for refusing to accept a challenge to duel.
Florida
If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the same parking fee as you would for a vehicle.
Georgia
It’s illegal to change the clothes on a storefront mannequin unless you draw the shades first.
Hawaii
All residents may be fined for not owning a boat.
Idaho
A man must not give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing fewer than fifty pounds.
Illinois
It’s illegal to take a French poodle to the opera (Chicago).
Indiana
The value of pi is 4, and not 3.1415.
Iowa
One-armed piano players must perform for free.

But if you needed water and were in the desert and grabbed a cacti, would you not be stuck?

Apparently this was a problem in Florida at one time, so much so they had to make a law for it.


Fuckin' California, and Connecticut ... what the fuck ? How does the law even figure into that situation ?

The laws were passed a long time ago to fit the times, in Ontario it is against the law to sell anti freeze to Indians because they would drink it back in the 1920s and 30s.

Whispering in someone’s ear while he’s moose hunting is prohibited.
(borderline but presumably hunter safety)

A pickle cannot actually be a pickle unless it bounces.
(consumer protection/ pure foods)

It’s illegal to get married on a dare.
(doesn't this speak for itself)

Washington, D.C.
It’s against the law to post a public notice calling someone a coward for refusing to accept a challenge to duel. (an old law still on the books).

Yeah, Arizona is really strict when it comes to laws around cactii. You can be sent to jail for 25 years for harming a saguaro. Road crews have to get a permit for each cactus they need to move while doing construction.

Also, the Indiana "Pi Bill" was never actually passed into law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Pi_Bill

There's a collection of books available on absurd laws.

Loved the TV show in the late 70s or early 80s that documented some of the absurd laws in Canada. Some of the ones I remember included that it's illegal to name your business after "Parliament Hill", and that it's illegal to spit on the sidewalk within 50 feet of the train tracks (in one particular town, anyway).

ODD CANADIAN LAWS
Nov 23, 2002 - © Mary M. Alward

Many of Canada's old laws are no longer enforced. However, many of them are still valid. Some are odd, some are silly. Some were made decades ago and have never been taken off the books.
In the town where I live in southern Ontario, it is against the law to spit on the sidewalk. However, the law has not been enforced for many years.

Until 1921, drivers were required to drive on the left hand side of the road in Victoria, British Columbia. On December 31, 1921, precisely at the stroke of midnight, all drivers and cyclists began driving on the right side of the road.

If you hinder or interrupt the Canadian Forces while they're training or marching, you will be fined $100. Interferring or impending with the recruitment of Canadian Forces carries a fine of $300.

If you happen upon an injured migratory bird in a Canadian national park, you are required to kill it immediately. If not, you can be fined $300.

Horses are not allowed to stand on Edmonton streets for longer than 20 minutes. This law was passed in 1920, assuring people doing business didn't loiter or stay to chat with merchants.

Street musicans must not give children balloon animals in Victoria, British Columbia.

Everyone loves to ride in a one-horse-open sleigh. On Ontario highways the horse must have two bells attached to its' harness, or two bells must be fastened to the sleigh. The fine for not obeying this law - $5.

Wolfville, Nova Scotia has a curfew for those under the age of 15. All youngsters must be off the street by 9 pm from October to March and 10 pm in summer, unless they are with a parent or guardian. The bylaw, though still valid, has not been enforced since 1980.

In Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, all cyclists are required to carry a kerosene lantern, which can be seen plainly.

Unless you want to face a fine of up to $25,000., you must never release a raccoon out of its' territory in the province of Ontario.

You cannot release ten or more hellium-filled balloons in any City of Toronto park within a 24 hour period.

In Fort Qu' Appelle, Saskatchewan all teenagers walking down the main street must have their shoes tied.

Ontario law states it is illegal to paint any bus bright yellow unless it is being used to transport handicapped adults or school children.

No school bus or other public vehicle can change gears while crossing a railroad track. The law requires all buses stop before crossing railway tracks.
