Alabama
The City of Mobile might know exactly how to throw down on Mardi Gras, but it is completely forbidden to use plastic confetti.
Alaska
A person can’t get drunk in a bar and still drink there. According to Alaska State Legislature, the statute explains that an intoxicated person might enter a place where alcohol is sold, without even knowing. In 2012, the police in Anchorage, Alaska, initiated enforcing the law by sending plainclothed officers into bars, so they can identify excessively drunk people and arrest all the suspects.
Arizona
In Arizona, it is completely forbidden to feed garbage to pigs, without having a permit beforehand. Even so, you can easily swap out the trough for a wastebasket, if the pigs are raised for YOUR consumption, according to Arizona State Legislature.
Arkansas
A pinball machine won’t give more than 25 free games to a player who won every time he played. The statute’s goal was to prohibit machines that would encourage gambling, according to the Arkansas State Legislature.
California
You’ll really love this one: A frog that died because of a frog-jumping contest can’t be eaten and must be destroyed as fast as possible. This is a part of a healthy code that’s likely made its way into the books, in order to protect all the competitors at the Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee, which is a decades-old tradition in the gold-mining town of Angels Camp.
Tourists and jockeys usually compete to show how far their frogs can go.
Colorado
You must get a permit to modify the weather. There are some states where it is legal to perform activities that might create changes in the composition or even the behavior of the atmosphere. Even so, you can’t do that in Colorado, at least not without a permit.
Weather modification is actually possible, but it’s a very lucrative business. Colorado ski resorts must pay private businesses to burn silver iodide on the slopes. The material then carries into the clouds and stimulates precipitation, which only creates a fresh sheet of powder for snow lovers.
Connecticut
Junk collectors won’t find their place in this state. In Hartford, it is completely illegal to start collecting “rags, paper, glass, old metal, junk, cinders, or any other waste matter in the city” without having a LICENSE, as Municode showed.
Delaware
It is seen as a misdemeanor to sell, barter, or even offer the fur of a domestic dog or cat. Any products that are made from the hair, might result in a fine of over $2,500 and a ban on owning a dog or cat for 15 years after being convicted, according to the state of Delaware.
