Agreed but no diecent cop would fine anyone for this **** unless he or she wanted to get an *** kicking by his own boss. Also many of these I am sure are so old that most people do not know they exist.
Most of all I am sure that you could find stupid laws nation wide especially in the 13 colony states.

I'm sure most of these laws and ordinances were passed with good reason (well, I have to wonder about the camels) at some point. It would take more time and effort to get them off the books than it would be worth, so we are left with some amusing thoughts about our ancestors and their priorities as compared to our own.
