Can you keep a raccoon? Like as a pet? What are the laws regarding raccoons in domestic situations?

Raccoons are wild animals. It is illegal to have a wild animal without a permit.
They DO NOT make good pets!

Don't know the laws, but if you get one, you have to find them before they open their eyes. They are a wild animal and don't usually make good pets.
After they reach mating age, they get mean and agressive. They can really bite. Also can carry rabies.
I don't suggest it. They are a smart, curious animal and keeping something like that in a cage would not be a good life for it.
A girlfriend of mine had one in the house for awhile. It was tame but it destroyed everything! It was cute though.
