We all know there are some strange things about Georgia. But unless you spend a lot of time looking through law books, you may not realize just how strange. There are some really weird laws in Georgia. It’s true, not many people even realize that these things are illegal, and you’re not very likely to be prosecuted for any of them. It’s unknown why a lot of these laws even existed in the first place. Alas, we don’t make the rules (or the laws). Check out this list of odd illegal things in Georgia and see how many you’re guilty of.
