It is illegal to casually flirt with a stranger on the streets of Little Rock.

The Law

An old vagrancy and public morals ordinance stipulates a potential 30-day jail sentence for men or women caught making unwanted flirtatious advances in public. Enacted during the Victorian era to prevent prostitution and maintain strict public decency, the law criminalized winking, catcalling, or overly enthusiastic staring. While not enforced today, it remains technically on the books as part of archaic disorderly conduct codes.
