6.New Hampshire: Live free or die, and while you're at it, keep your damn dog inside your damn car.

20.North Dakota: No cloning humans.
21.Ohio: You absolutely may not spit on anyone while riding public transportation.
22.Maine: You can't claim "but we were hunting" as an excuse for assaulting someone. So much for the perfect crime.
