10 Ridiculous laws you won't believe! Its unbelievable that these ridiculous state laws are still on the books... Some of these states definitely need to re-evaluate their strange use of their police force! I mean...who has laws against shooting Bigfoot?!?! Try not to laugh at these crazy facts!

But some laws can be a little crazy! Here are the top 10 most ridiculous state laws. Stay tuned to see why #1 is impossible to break! 10. Massachusetts: Can’t sing only half the national anthem. If you start with “O say can you see …” in Massachusetts, you’d better remember the rest of the words, because it’s illegal to sing only part of the Star Spangled Banner. According to the law, you cannot sing the anthem “other than as a whole and separate composition”. Violators can be fined up to $100. The same law makes it a crime to play the national anthem “as dance music”, which is really too bad, because you could imagine the national anthem making a really rocking mix with a Katy Perry song. The law is listed as a “Crime Against Government” in the state, so it was presumably intended to stop people from disrespecting the anthem, which makes sense. But…what if you have a really bad voice? Honestly, for some people, CONTINUING to sing would be more of a crime against humanity than stopping! 9. Alaska: Can’t be sloppy in a bar. In Alaska, it’s not illegal to GET sloppy in a bar, BUT it’s against the law to “remain” there once you are. And you can’t get around this law by hopping from one bar to another, because it’s also illegal to enter a bar when sloppy. You also can’t wait outside and pay someone to get you drinks, because the same law makes it a crime to deliver alcoholic beverages to a sloppy person. You can’t even get around the law by owning the bar, because it’s against the same law to serve drinks when sloppy. That clever Alaskan legislature - always one step ahead! If you always have to leave a bar when you’re sloppy, you might wonder why you’d go there in the first place. But for us, the bigger question is why a state as cold as Alaska would want to throw its sloppy people outside. If this were really enforced, wouldn’t it be a safety hazard to have all these sloppys wandering around in the snow? Someone might pass out on a moose. 8. Colorado: Snowball fights are illegal Speaking of snow, Colorado has banned the classic winter pastime of throwing snowballs. The same law also bans “catapults”, which definitely seems more reasonable (if unnecessary), and it makes us wonder…WHY on Earth the two are grouped together. Is it a slippery slope? Do Colorado kids start out throwing snowballs and work their way up to siege engines? We’re also not sure how this is enforced. Do the police round up roving gangs of eight-year-olds and throw them in the penitentiary? Do they raid snow forts and arrest kids just for having piles of ammunition, or is there an exemption to owning snowballs for “personal use”? Now, one would think that relying on informants could work, but it’s risky - you know that any kid who testifies is going to get pelted the minute he walks out of court. All in all, enforcing this law might not be the best use of Colorado’s police resources. And our guess is it’s pretty far down the cops’ list of priorities. 7. Wyoming: No pictures on public land Most ridiculous laws are old ones, but here’s a law that was passed as recent as 2015. It’s now a crime in the state of Wyoming to take pictures on public land, if those pictures are “submitted or intended to be submitted to any agency of the state or federal government.” Apparently there are some polluted streams in Wyoming, and the state wasn’t happy that people were taking pictures of them as evidence that they violated water quality standards. So they banned the pictures…Problem solved, right? 6. Rhode Island: Must warn drivers when passing You probably broke this law if you’ve driven in Rhode Island: when passing another car, you must give a “timely, audible signal” (like honking your horn). Failing to do so could get you an $85 ticket. Maybe this law dates from the days when cars were rare. But imagine if nowadays everyone honked their horn every time they passed - you couldn’t hear yourself drive. In fact, obeying this law could be dangerous. If you honked your horn at every car you passed, how long before you triggered someone’s road rage? They’d be furious! They’d probably try to run you off the road…the whole time you’d be trying to communicate using hand signals, “I’m not mad at you, I’m just trying to obey this law”.
