There are quite a few old, outdated or unusual laws that are still on the books in various states. Here are some of them...
Alaska-You can't wake up a sleeping bear to take its picture.
Florida- Unmarried women may not parachute on Sundays
Hawaii - No placing coins in your ears
Idaho - You can't fish from the back of a camel
Oklahoma-Whaling is illegal (This is a weird law because there aren't any oceans, let alone any whales in Oklahoma)
California - No riding bicycles in swimming pools
Kentucky - you can't carry an ice cream cone in your pocket
Ohio - You can't eat a donut and walk backward on a city street
Tennessee - you must be 18 to play pinball
Louisiana - You may not tie an alligator to a fire hydrant.
There are a lot of places that have laws that say hotels need hitching posts and water buckets out front.
Luckily not all the laws are enforced.
I often wonder what made people make some of these laws like the one in Idaho.
