Orlando & The Freakshow

You might think you’re a good citizen and follow the law but there’s plenty of weird laws in the state of Florida that are ridiculously easy to break. You’ve read all the Florida Man stories but these laws are totally different because most people have broken these laws listed below. There’s even a strange one in the Tampa Bay area that will make you say ‘Huh?’ Have some fun and count how many of these weird Florida laws you and your friends have broken.

  • Can’t Live With Partner Unless You're Married

    Talk about a law that completely outdated! It was so taboo to live with your partner before marriage that in 1868 they passed a law to make it illegal.

    This might be the dumbest law we’ve ever heard! Chapter 836 of the Florida Statutes says you cannot talking about another person behind their back.

  • No Singing While Wearing A Swimsuit

    We’re thinking this was passed because Spring Break typically has plenty of swimsuits, drinks and lots of music. Can you imagine getting into trouble for this law?

  • You Must Pay Same Vehicle Fee For Parking If It's An Elephant

    I’m guessing this has something to do with the circus visiting and staying in the Sarasota area. Either way it’s crazy!

  • Men Cannot Wear Strapless Dresses

    Probably one of the weirdest laws that’s also a crime! Although we’re not quite sure why Florida decided men can’t wear strapless dresses if you are make sure to take it off so you don’t get into trouble.
