Just For Fun: What You Cannot Do In Connecticut Per Old Laws

These silly laws have never been removed from the books.

It seems a hot topic trending on the Internet for some reason is things you cannot do (#5thingsyoucantdo). So, for fun, we figured we'd tell you about things you cannot do in Connecticut per old silly laws that have never been removed the books:

  • You cannot ride your bike over 65 mph. (Sorry Lance Armstrong)
  • You cannot walk across the street on your hands. (Sorry Shawn Johnson)
  • You cannot walk backwards after sunset. (Sorry Michael Jackson wannabees)
  • You cannot officially consider a pickle a real pickle unless it bounces.
  • You cannot educate a dog. (Do canine cops count?)
  • You may not have a dog with a tattoo unless the dog is reported to the police.
  • You cannot discharge a firearm from a public highway. (How about a main street?)
  • You cannot dispose of used razor blades.
  • You cannot pirouette while crossing the street. (Sorry Peter Pan?)
  • In Hartford, Connecticut’s capitol city, it is illegal to plant a tree in the street; it is also illegal in Hartford to kiss your wife on Sundays. (Sorry honey, not only is football on, but it’s illegal to kiss on Sundays, you know that.)
