charge a $50 cleanup fee to passengers who upchuck in their cars.

Other states that have gotten in the act by enacting looney
legislation include Idaho, which just entered the 20th century by
allowing warrants to be served via fax.
Meanwhile, Kentucky residents are forbidden from releasing feral hogs
into the wild, but Virginia voters who accidentally left their driver's
license at home now have the liberty of using their concealed gun
permit as an alternative, CNN reported.
Florida, a state known for its weirdness, has a few new rules and regulations that might qualify as bizarre.
It is now against the law to shackle pregnant female prisoners when
they are giving birth and it's forbidden to film people without their
knowledge if they are in a home.
