In the UK, the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 is always a good one for odd laws.
They include:-
- Shaking carpets in the street.
- Keeping pigs in or near a street without a wall surrounding them.
- A taxi driver refusing to drive anywhere without lawful excuse.
- Having a dangerous windowbox.
- and Indecent behaviour in a Police Station.
