Book description
What started out as an innocent board game inspired Rich Smith to
undertake a daring crime spree across the United States - a journey to
break the dumbest American laws on the statute books.
In the Land of the Free, it is illegal to:
- Lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory (South Dakota)
- Play a trumpet with the intention of luring someone to a store (California)
- Catch a fish with a lasso (Tennessee)
Rich's first problem was narrowing down the huge choice of laws to
just twenty-five. The second was persuading his mate Bateman to come
along, to do some of the driving - and possibly provide bail money.
The third was finding someone who was willing to help him break his
first law: one of San Francisco's oldest statutes, which related to
oral sex. No, Bateman couldn't help with that one.
Join Rich as he attempts his one-man crime wave - almost as
difficult as a one-man Mexican wave.
Rich Smith lives in Portreath on the north Cornish coast. He is
currently studying for a degree in journalism. His ambition is to
become a primary school teacher and continue travelling, as long as US
law inforcement doesn't catch up with him.
