Dumb Old Michigan Laws Still in Effect: You Probably Broke Some Already

While perusing through this list of Michigan laws that are still on the books, you have to wonder why they were made laws in the first place. Someone must have performed these dastardly deeds in order for laws to be passed about them.

With that being said, how many of these have you already broken this year?
And be honest with yourself...

Dumb laws still on the books in various Michigan towns & cities:

Adultery can be punished after a complaint from a victimized spouse.

Anyone over age 12 can get a gun license if they haven't committed a felony.

Can't kill a dog with a decompression chamber.

Destroying your radio.

Five years in prison if a male makes love with a single girl.

Having sex in a parked car unless it's in your own driveway.

If burglars are hurt within the house they broke into, they can sue the owner.

It's legal for a farmer to sleep with his barnyard animals.

Old hoop skirts can't be thrown out onto the sidewalk or street in Grand Haven.

On Sundays, a man isn't allowed to scowl at his wife.

Painting sparrows to look like parakeets.

Pigs can't run free down Detroit streets unless they have rings in their noses.

Police must inspect bathing suits.

Swearing when women and kids are around.

So in retrospect, in some ways I guess we don't have it TOO bad after all.
