Every country has one or two weird laws that seem to make absolutely no sense. But the USA has way more than its fair share. This is, in part, due to the US's federal system, which gives local governments more power to dictate their own legislation. The sad fact is that many archaic laws exist because of the personal views and experiences of lawyers and politicians.

Some of these rules concern public safety and decency and probably made a lot of sense when they were written. But others probably never made sense. So here are some bizarre things you can't do in America.
