I'm sure many people have heard of laws that they cannot believe are on the books or were ever on the books.

You have to go back a long time when some laws were first put on the books to try and understand why they're even laws to begin with. New York State was a far different place 100 or 200 years ago and there are some laws that just slip trough the cracks -- meaning they're either not enforced and/or they're so ridiculous they're just not enforced.
