Most of us will never spend any time dredging through the mountainous volumes of laws that constitute a legal code, which is a shame. Because hidden among the expected laws barring disorderly conduct and reckless driving are some astoundingly weird decrees. In Louisiana, for instance, there's a law specifically aimed at alligator thieves. The law goes so far as to state what parts of the alligator are protected from theft and, based on the value of a given alligator, what the penalty is for stealing it (for the curious, the maximum penalty includes 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine).

As peculiar as such laws are, they offer a unique glimpse into the societies where they're enforced. So read on to learn more about the top 10 weird laws around the world.
