Louisiana has thousands of laws on the books. Some are unique (we have a law stating the punishment for stealing crawfish), some are necessary (seat belt and safety laws), some are just plain strange (stealing a "moveable" even though it's classified as an "immovable"). There's also some that you wouldn't think are real, but they are...and you may have broken them!
