This Photographer Illustrated the Strangest State Laws in the US

Photographer Olivia Locher put together an exhibit called “I Fought The Law.” Its purpose is to examine weird state laws across the USA. And to break them. Locher’s work is eye-catching, multicolored and fun.

So, do cops even enforce these weird state laws? It probably doesn’t matter. But you still might think twice before doing them.

Utah

In Utah, you can’t walk down the street concealing a violin in a paper bag. And if any musicians break the law and give you a headache with their dulcet tones, a pharmacist can’t sell you gunpowder as medicine.

Wisconsin

Many Wisconsin residents may try and tell you that it’s illegal to order apple pie without a slice of cheese. In fact, this is an urban legend. Though from 1935-1937, every restaurant was required to serve cheese and butter with every meal.

Texas

Don’t mess with Texas. Especially their children’s hairstyles. If you’re a boy in the Lone Star State, you’re not allowed to have an “unusual haircut”. Horses are regulated too, as it’s illegal to ride one without affixing tail lights.

We assume they don’t mean on the tail.

Tennessee

If you’re a lumberjack in Tennessee, you better be honest. Because if you’re found selling hollow logs, it’s off to the slammer for you.

And if you’re trying to watch Monty Python’s “Lumberjack Song” on Netflix for research, don’t do it with someone else’s password. That’s illegal, too.
