Sometimes laws can be a little insane. For those headed to Galveston make sure you stay abreast of the situation surrounding you at all times... LOL :-) Galveston on the books laws: Offensive gestures will not be tolerated at any special event. Full Text of the Law Sec. 6-20. Miscellaneous provisions. (e) Conduct at special events. Offensive language, gestures, reckless driving or unruly conduct will not be tolerated at an event. Applicants are responsible for the actions of all spectators, visitors, guests, participants, or invitees to a special event. (Ord. No. 01-049, 7, 7-12-01; Ord. No. 97-64, 2, 8-14-97; Ord. No. 98-3, 1, 1-8-98) Here are a few more for you in Galveston: It is illegal to drive a motor car down Broadway before noon on Sundays. Bicycles must be operated at a “reasonable speed”. One needs permission from the director of parks and recreation before getting drunk in any city park. No person shall throw trash from an airplane. Landing an airplane on the beach is illegal. No person shall inhale fumes from model glue. Any person who sits on a sidewalk may be fined up to $500. Full Text of the Law Sec. 24-17. Impeding sidewalk. It shall be unlawful for a person to stand or sit on a city sidewalk or city right-of-way so as to impede, physically or by intimidation, free and uninterrupted pedestrian passage. A violation of this section shall be a class C misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00). (Ord. No. 97-104, 2, 12-11-97) Editors note--Ord. No. 97-104, 2, adopted December 11, 1997, amended the Code by adding a new 24-9; in order to prevent the duplication of section numbers, the editor has re designated the new provisions as 24-17. Ignorance is no excuse of the law they say. LMAO :-)
