There are many laws in the United States, still in existence, that are extremely out of date. Apart from being old fashioned, most of these laws are utterly stupid, hopeless and strange. New York-based photographer Olivia Locher illustrates this craziness in her photographs. Locher documents the unrealistic laws and rules of each state in her funny photographic series titled “I Fought The Law”. Scroll down to see some these amazing pictures but take notice that bikers may not ride their bicycles in a swimming pool when in California, no transparent clothing can be worn in Rhode Island at any one time and if you plan to move to Arizona you are not allowed to have more than two dildoes at home. You’ve been warned.
