Where I live it's illegal, when downtown, to tie your horse up any where other than a hitching post. This was passed by the city council in 1890 somthing. Never been taken of the books. Needless to say, not many tickets get written
for this particular violation.

Does anyone remember the little old lady that got a ticket for putting money in other peoples parking meters when they were about to run out or had run out? That happened in the midwest somewhere, I think.

What about the man in Michigan that got in trouble with the law for cussing as he fell out of his boat into the water.

There was another one about a sixteen or seventeen year old boy that was tried and convicted of statutory rape, after he got his fifteen year old girlfriend
pregnent. He was arrested when they applied for a marriage license. Not saying what he did was right, but at least he was trying to do the "right" thing.

Some laws are nonsense and others are not enfored with comman sense. That's my two cents worth any way.
