I have a wealth of "Dumb Criminal" stories...Maybe I should make a thread about that!
But, no, I can't find any strange laws.

Oh, except. Where I'm from [Melbourne, Australia]. It is illegal to sleep in a caravan for more than 7 consecutive nights.

Some random North Carolina Laws!

It's against the law to sing off key.

Elephants may not be used to plow cotton fields.

While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled.

If a man and a woman who aren't married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married.

All couples staying overnight in a hotel must have a room with double beds that are at least two feet apart.

It is illegal to have sex in a churchyard.

Oral sex is considered a crime against nature.

Organizations may not hold their meetings while the members present are in costume.

Bingo games may not last over 5 hours unless it is held at a fair.

Some New York Laws

You may not smoke within 100 feet of the entrance to a public building.

It is illegal for a woman to be on the street wearing "body hugging clothing.

Citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers".

A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting.

It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.

The penalty for jumping off a building is death.

New Yorkers cannot dissolve a marriage for irreconcilable differences, unless they both agree to it.

A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.

While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.

Needless to say if you watch TV or the movies, you will never see any evidence of any of those. Can't always believe Hollywood

Some of those laws apply elsewhere. Like for example, not being allowed to wear a white wedding dress on the second marriage. Same applies here. Threatening someone with a gun loaded or unloaded is regarded a crime elsewhere too....

Homosexual behavior is a misdemeanor offense.


Abilene

Appearing in public places wearing a "lewd dress" is prohibited.

Another one of my favorite states. Louisiana. Louisiana law is a bit different then most states it did not base it's laws upon US or British laws. It was a French territory at the time it wrote up its constitution and the laws are based on Napoleonic Law.

Persons could land in jail for up to ten years for stealing an alligator.

It is a $500 fine to instruct a pizza delivery man to deliver a pizza to your friend without them knowing.

Running an abortion advertisement can land you in jail for a year.

Rituals that involve the ingestion of blood, urine, or fecal matter are not allowed.

One could land in jail for up to a year for making a false promise.

Every time a person is seriously burned, he must report the injury to the fire marshal.

Then we have Alabama. Most Americans love to pick on Alabama.

Bear wrestling matches are prohibited.

It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.

It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.

Men who deflower virgins, regardless of age or marital status, may face up to five years in jail.

In India the whole nation is divided into two kinds.

One is the towns or cities that follow 90% of the constitutional laws

two are the rural villages in each and every state that has it's own law.


in some villages in india roaming out in NEW MOON is stictly Prohibited.

In one part of India Smoking is Prohibited and in other Smoking is Permitted same goes for Wine and Woman.
