These 15 Unusual Florida Laws Actually Exist

9/4/2014

 
By Reinhold Law Firm

This country is full of unusual laws, like Massachusetts’ “no driving with a gorilla in the backseat” or Alaska’s “no tethering your dog to the roof of the car.” Florida is no exception. Although many are not currently recognized, here are just 15 of some of the most bizarre laws passed in Florida over the years.

1. It is illegal for unmarried women to parachute on Sundays.

2. In Miami, it is illegal to skateboard in a police station.

3. It is illegal for a person to leave an elephant at a parking meter without paying the fee.

4. It is illegal to have sex with porcupines.

5. It is illegal to keep pregnant pigs in cages.

6. It is illegal to sell your children. 

7. It is illegal for men to be seen in public in a strapless gown.

8. Horse theft is penalized by death (still in the books, but not enforced since 1890's).

9. It is illegal for a couple to live together if not married, being considered as "lewd and lascivious behavior" and punishable by up to $500 in fines and 60 days in jail.

10. In Key West, cabbies may soon be able to charge a $50 fine for anyone who throws up in their back seat.

11. Law enforcement can ticket drivers traveling more than 10 mph under the speed limit.

12. In Daytona Beach, it is illegal for any person to spit on the streets, sidewalks, or in any public buildings or places.

13. It is illegal to dye baby chicks artificial colors.

14. It is illegal to dye rabbits under 12 weeks old.

15. It is illegal for any person to conduct or engage in a simulated or bloodless bullfighting exhibition.
