8 Weird Laws That Actually Exist In Arkansas

We're probably all pretty familiar with some of those illegal things in Arkansas. Like drunk driving. However, did you know that there are also some really weird laws in Arkansas that might leave you scratching your head? Sure, the Natural State has its fair share of jokers and oddballs, but isn't it weird to think you could be arrested for violating one of these off-the-wall Arkansas laws?

8. It's illegal for the Arkansas River to rise above the Main Street Bridge in Little Rock.

Shame on you, Arkansas River. The LRPD's going to haul you in, and you know the judges here don't play around. Just one of those strange things in Arkansas that makes you go, hmmm.

7. There's a law on the books that says Arkansas teachers can't receive a raise if they bob their hair.

There seems to be no word on whether or not these teachers would be fired if ever caught dancing the Charleston.

6. A man cannot legally beat his wife for more than a month according to the old Arkie lawbooks.

A constant assault on a loved one over the course of four weeks can be considered excessive and merits at least some regulating.

5. It's illegal in Arkansas to honk your horn at a sandwich shop after 9 pm.

This is likely because most of them are closed at this point; you'd be disturbing the peace, and you still wouldn't get a sandwich. How fascinating are these fun facts about Arkansas?

4. It's illegal to yell at your children at a drive-in Arkansas restaurant.

This law is definitely archaic, as you'll find if you go to any central Arkansas fast food restaurant on any given weekend.

3. It is illegal to kill "any living creature" in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

If that goes for mosquitoes then we're in trouble this summer. Watch your step, Fayetteville.

2. Flirtation between men and women on the streets of Little Rock could result in an up to 30-day jail sentence.

If this law was still upheld, there would be paddywagons full of arrested Lotharios and sweethearts traveling through the River Market every Friday and Saturday night.

1. No one may suddenly stop or start their car at a Little Rock McDonalds.

If you've seen the McD's on Broadway and the awkward way it's set up, well, this law kind of makes sense.
