It is illegal to shoot off a policeman's tie.

The Law Explained

In the capital city of Frankfort, an old ordinance explicitly forbids citizens from shooting the necktie off a police officer. This hyper-specific law allegedly stems from a sharp-shooting local who enjoyed showing off his marksmanship by clipping the ties of unsuspecting lawmen. Unsurprisingly, modern assault laws cover this behavior today, but the specific tie-shooting ban remains a fun piece of local history.
