It is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

This legendary law stems from the old days of horse thievery, when clever thieves would place a frozen treat in their pocket to lure a horse away without physically stealing it. By doing this, they could legally claim the horse simply followed them home. While you won't get arrested for carrying dessert in your denim today, the ordinance remains an amusing piece of agricultural history.
