Crazy Alabama Laws


We trust and encourage our lawmakers to pass laws that are important and relevant, but sometimes a few dumb ones sneak into the mix. There was usually a very important and valid reason to pass these laws in the first place, but those stories have been lost to history. Instead, we are left scratching our heads, wondering why these laws were passed, and hoping no officer tries to uphold them. Here are a few of the funniest crazy laws in the State of Alabama. 


1.  There is still a ban against sex toys unless purchases are made for medical, scientific, or educational purposes.

2.   It is illegal to drive while wearing a blindfold. 

3.   It is illegal to maim oneself to escape duty.

4.   Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death.

5.   You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.

6.   Masks may not be worn in public.  Does that mean no Trick or Treating?? 

7.   Bear wrestling matches are prohibited. 

8.   In Mobile, bathing in city fountains is prohibited.

9.   Incestuous marriages are legal.

10.  Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.

11.  In Lee County, it is illegal to sell peanuts after sundown on Wednesday.
