The Silliest Laws in Louisiana - A Comprehensive List

Since we were recently reviewing all the silly laws in Texas, we figured we'd take a look at what Louisiana lawmakers did with their state's time and money too.

Here are some of the silliest laws on the books in Cajun Country, according to dumblaws.com:

And here are some of the strangest city laws:

  • Jefferson Parish: Minors may not go to businesses with coin-operated foosball machines unless accompanied by an adult.
  • New Orleans: Horses may not be tied to a tree on a public highway.
  • New Orleans: One may not host a game of marbles at Lafayette Square unless he or she first obtains a written permit from the parkway and park commission.
  • New Orleans: It is illegal to practice voodoo in the city limits.
  • New Orleans: Snakes are not allowed within 200 yards of the Mardi Gras parade route.
  • Port Allen: No person may predict another’s future.
  • Sulphur: Saying obscene things on the telephone is illegal.
  • Sulphur: It is illegal to have sex with a cow.

Politicians love to solve problems that don't exist with silly laws. Louisiana is no exception.
