There are many on the list that are flat out dumb/unenforacable while some became law because there was a real need for it that are no longer required. Overall, I thought it was funny and thought I'd share.

There are also some perfectly reasonable laws. Exterior doors have to open outward most places. I assume selling your children is illegal.

Some of these are really good sense and hardly meet the qualification as "dumb laws".

If it does well, then I'll post more.

How many times has the Arkansas river been thrown in jail for rising higher than permitted by law?

Some of these laws are good ones. Such as the doors open outwards one that's incase of a fire and CA has it too

Yep, all states have their fair share of dumb laws. Mainly because they are from more than 50 years ago. Things were much different then
ButImNotTheOnlyOne
yup, but they are still humorous to think about now.

There's a joke around here that wipers are required on vehicles, windshield optional.

Not being allowed to sell your children is a dumb law?
ButImNotTheOnlyOne
dumb/unnecessary in most cases...
KingoftheWildDucks
Aren't some of these like... normal laws though? Like the windshield wipers one?

Why are incestuous marriages illegal to start with? Other than being weird as shit to most everyone, what's the harm?
Tamaril
Possible coercion from 1 party. The effect it has on future generations if they procreate.
TheUglyGuy
At the sibling level for sure and 1st cousins possibly there can be genetic issues with children. I've met a few and it aint pretty.
KnightsAgainstOrganizedSeriousness
Not like you can stop people who know they will pass on diseases from procreating so... Could be worse?
