Not Many People Realize That These 10 Things Are Actually Illegal In Rhode Island

Most laws make sense and are in place to maintain law and order in our communities. But some are a little bit strange. Here are 10 things in Rhode Island you might not have realized are actually illegal.

1. Stealing a stone wall.

That's right, stealing a stone wall is illegal. If you plan on breaking this law, you're going to need a truck and a couple of strong guys.

2. Imitating an Auctioneer.

Our "false personification" laws make it illegal to impersonate an Auctioneer. We're not sure how this applies to Halloween.

3. Stringing a rope across a highway.

Bad things could happen.

4. Smoking a pipe after sunset in Newport.

Get your tobacco fix taken care of before the sun goes down in Newport.

5. Throwing pickle juice on a trolley.

Don't even think about it!

6. Biting someone's leg off.

You can't cut off or bite off anyone's eye, ear, nose, lips, or arms either.

7. Racing a horse down the highway.

No, you may not test your horse for speed down 195.

8. Wearing transparent clothing in Providence.

This law is probably in everyone's best interest.

9. Watering the lawn or garden on even-numbered days in West Warwick.

10. Using a cap gun.

Because you'll shoot your eye out, kid!
