The Law

Born out of strict Victorian-era morality codes, this law was aimed at preventing scandalous public displays of affection. While nobody is currently pacing out lovers' kisses with a stopwatch, this outdated blue law technically remains on the books. It was meant to maintain public decency during a much more conservative age.
