Strange Laws of Minnesota
You’ve probably seen World’s Dumbest Criminals on directv Minnesota service or the like, but have you ever heard of a stupid law. Not “stupid” like you disagree with it, but “stupid” as in “objectively ridiculous in every conceivable way.” Don’t load up the car, forget about calling the moving truck, and cancel that plane ticket – here are some of the most bizarre laws you ever heard of coming straight out of Minnesota. Whether it’s for pleasure or a permanent home, you are going to want to get a feel for the lay of the land before you inadvertently break a law you never knew existed. Be warned: these laws are both real and hilarious!
No Loitering – EVER!
Need to catch a bus? Is the stop in front of some house? Better have a good reason for catching that bus because, in Minnesota, it is illegal to stand around ANY building without a decent, substantiated reason.
Run a-Fowl
Did you know that in Minnesota it is absolutely illegal to cross state lines with a duck on your head? We swear we aren’t making this up. You might wonder if they mean a real duck or a fake (not specified) but maybe a better question you should be asking is how they could possibly make this law or plan to enforce it!
All bathtubs must have feet
Never mind the fact that you can barely find a bathtub that isn’t built into the home, the reasoning behind this one is unfathomable. If it’s a safety concern then wouldn’t feet be less safe than a built-in tub?
As mentioned before, these laws are real. Watch your step. With laws this ridiculous, you never know who you’re going to offend without realizing it
