20 Jaw-Droppingly Weird Laws That Still Exist In America
16. New York - Flirting Is A Misdemeanor
Law's Origin: 1907
Risk of Prosecution: $25 fine
If you're hard at work thinking up pick up lines for your trip to New York City then I have some bad news. You're going to need to burn the drawing board and come up with a fresh approach. Flirting in New York is punishable by a $25 fine for the first offence.
After the second offence, men will be forced to wear horse blinders. Can't flirt with women if you can't see them right?
But seriously, this law is kicking. All across America are stories of attorneys who fought, sometimes for months, to have criminal charges dropped against their male clients who happened to ask out the wrong person one day. This is why people date online.
