§ 59.1-402. Racing under false name; penalty.

Any person who knowingly enters or races any horse in any running or harness race under any name or designation other than the name or designation assigned to such horse by and registered with the Jockey Club, the United States Trotting Association, the American Quarter Horse Association, or other applicable association or who knowingly instigates, engages in, or in any way furthers any act by which any horse is entered or raced in any running or trotting race under any name or designation other than the name or designation duly assigned by and registered with the Jockey Club, the United States Trotting Association, the American Quarter Horse Association, or other applicable association, is guilty of a Class 4 felony.

So, if I register a horse under the name "Police State", but then I race it under the name "Gellin Felon", then I can be imprisoned for 2-10 years and fined up to $100,000?

Post other weird virginia laws that you find, there are some pretty odd ones! http://leg1.state.va.us/000/src.htm

It's to prevent people from scamming race books. You could make a lot of money if you took a top-notch thoroughbred and entered it into races under a false name.

§ 29.1-539. Keeping deer or bear struck by motor vehicle; procedure to be followed by driver.

Any person driving a motor vehicle who collides with a deer or bear may, upon compliance with the provisions of this section, keep the deer or bear for his own use as if the animal had been killed by that person during hunting season for the animal.

Any person so killing any deer or bear shall immediately report the accident to the conservation police officer or other law-enforcement officer of the county or city where the accident occurred. The conservation police officer or other law-enforcement officer shall view the deer or bear and if he believes that the deer or bear was killed by the collision with the motor vehicle or injured to such an extent as to require its death, he shall award the animal to the person claiming the deer or bear, and shall give the person a certificate to that effect on forms furnished by the Department.

I wonder if the certificate is suitable for framing.

In some states it's against the law to have your shoelaces untied. I also remember my uncle being fined once, for spitting on the sidewalk (I dunno wtf it was at though).

Call a woman a slut (when it's not true), is a class 3 misdemeanor.

Call a man something equivalent, and it's just 'taking shit'

In Lebanon it's illegal to kick your wife out of bed.

In Norfolk, a man may face 60 days in jail for patting a woman's derriere.

in Richmond it is illegal to flip a coin in an eating establishment to determine
who buys a cup of coffee.
