Hey Arizona! Have you been putting your donkey to sleep in your bathtub? If you are, you just broke a state law. As funny and ridiculous as it sounds, outdated laws like this exist in every state simply because they have been forgotten. Many states haven’t kept up with the advances in technology and progress, and laws like the donkey in the bathtub law were there since the wild west and still remain in effect today. Since I am in the great state of California, here are some silly laws that are still in the law books. The source for these laws are from Findlaws.com and Dumblaws.com
- Women may not drive in a house coat.
- Arcadia: Peacocks have the right of way to cross any street, including driveways.
- Baldwin Park: Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool.
- It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
- California prison workers will no longer be allowed to have sex with inmates
- Film producers must have permission from a pediatrician before filming a child under the age of one month.
- You may only throw a frisbee at the beach in Los Angeles County, CA with the lifeguard’s permission.
- Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.
- It’s unlawful to let a dog pursue a bear or bobcat at any time.
- Bathhouses are against the law.
- Blythe, CA: You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows.
- In San Jose and Sunnyvale it is illegal for grocery stores to provide plastic bags.
- Carmel, CA: Ice cream may not be eaten while standing on the sidewalk. (Repealed when Clint Eastwood was mayor)
