Crazy California Laws

Some of the looniest laws every made seem to be here in the U.S. What were we thinking when we made them? California is no different that any other state, they have their own set of loony, crazy, silly laws.

• It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
• Women may not drive in a house coat.
• It is illegal to set a mousetrap without a hunting license.
• No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
• California prison workers will no longer be allowed to have sex with inmates
• Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool in Baldwin Park.
• It is illegal to spit except on a baseball diamond in Burlingame.
• All dog "waste" must be removed from any yard within seven days in Cerritos.
• Bowling on the sidewalk is illegal in Chico.

Actually this law was put into effect because of so much horse play and games going on the sidewalks of town.

• Men who wear moustaches are forbidden from kissing women in Eureka.
• In Los Angeles, it is illegal to wear a zoot suit.
• In Fresno no one may annoy a lizard in the city park.
  
• In the city of Walnut, it is illegal for a man to dress up like a woman unless prior permission has been gained from the sheriff.

This law actually was made to protect all animals.

• No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
• Permanent markers cannot be sold anywhere within the city limits of Fresno.
• Women may not wear high heels while in the city limits

We all enjoy these crazy laws that give us a little laugh. I don't know if you can actually be arrested for breaking any of these laws but well...you never know.
