Try the library. Most library have either books that contain laws or access to Internet resources that will have law on file.\n\nYou could also try looking at the city's website. Cities will often have a link to municipal codes or other laws in the jurisdiction.

Talk to the prosecutor before you have to pay the ticket. Alot of times they will either reduce or dismiss it. I had one dismissed yesterday by talking to the prosecutor a couple counties over here in Indiana.

Its not a nationwide law, its specifc to the state and even to the municipality.  In New Orleans, they are very liberal with regard to walking around on the street with an open container.  In NYC, you can't do that, you'll get a ticket.

In my state:\n\n1. One may not test their physical endurance while driving a car on a highway.\n\n2. Babies may not be carried on the running boards of a car.\n\n3. A door on a car may not be left open longer than is necessary.\n\n4. Dishes must drip dry.\n\n5. It is illegal to whisper "dirty" things in your lover's ear during sex.\n\n6. Ice cream may not be eaten on Sundays.\n\n7. One may not bathe without wearing "suitable clothing."\n\n8. Canned corn is not to be used as bait for fishing.\n\nNaturally, most of these (with the exception of the baby one) are not enforced, and have been stuck on the books for the lest 100 or so years.  But it's still funny to think that going to Dairy Queen on Sunday is against the law.

There are no state laws about it. Your county likely has a law that deals with it.

I'd try city hall about that. . . but you might find that there actually aren't any laws at all about the subject.

Those traditional rules that are set up by history and the society. For example, it is acceptable in India to pee in the streets, while in France you'd be fined for that.
