Bizarre laws in California that could get you in trouble

Every state in the country has strange laws that you may have never heard of.

In California, you must use appropriate language on the mini golf course to remain a law-abiding citizen.

Take a look at some of California's laws that may seem a bit bizarre.

  1. No swearing on the mini golf course
  2. No kite flying higher than 10 feet
  3. No moth hunting
  4. Peacocks have right of way

If you're in Long Beach, avoid the mini golf course if you find yourself swearing too much.

In Long Beach, city law prohibits swearing on the miniature golf course.

So if you find yourself frustrated during the course, keep it family-friendly and think of some other terms to mumble instead.

When you spend a nice day outdoors with a kite in Walnut, California, be careful not to pull too much tension on the string.

Kites are typically flown at heights well over 10 feet.

According to Guinness World Records, the highest altitude a single kite flew was 16,009 feet. This record was set by Robert Moore in Australia on September 23, 2014.

The reason for this interesting low-flying law is not entirely clear, but according to One Legal, it could be for safety reasons or to preserve the aesthetics of the city.

If you're in Los Angeles, leave the moths alone.

Moths are attracted to light and heat, which is why they are most commonly found near outdoor light sources, such as street lamps.

In the city, hunting moths under street lamps is prohibited by law.

You've probably heard that pedestrians have the right of way, but what about peacocks?

In Arcadia, California, peacocks have the right of way.

Peacocks are common in the city, so be sure to stop to watch the lively birds as they cross the road.

If you see a peacock in Arcadia, do not offer it food, as this is strictly prohibited in the city and is punishable by a hefty fine of $1,000, according to Arcadia.gov.
