Woah, I must admit, they are kinda pointless. I dont think Michigan has any laws like this. Let me run to the lake and catch a fish with my bare hands and see if I end up in the slammer....

 

Yep..I agree...useless ink on paper.

Many of these laws have been on the books for a hundred years or more around the country.

I've heard that when cars were first invented it was the law (in England, I think) that a person must walk in front of the car waving warning flags.
