illegal

The list includes lots of strange laws that either existed at one time in the past or ones that are still in effect today!

I wondered how many of my fellow Massachusetts residents were unsure regarding the issue. I figured I would do a post so that everybody would be clear.

Imagine trying to get your mail, only to find your path blocked. What does the law say about parking in front of mailboxes?

Believe it or not, some states still treat adultery as a felony. Think your marriage is safe? Think again.

Planning that perfect barbecue? Find out which seven meats you should avoid grilling in Massachusetts to keep the fun going all weekend long.

Ah, New England… where life used to be a lot less regulated. If you grew up here, you know the drill—there were a ton of things you could do back in the day that you’d probably get side-eyed (or outright arrested) for today.

Warming up your vehicle for more than 5 minutes while not being near or in it, is illegal in the state of Massachusetts since it's not a law regulated by any towns.

Massachusetts has what's called waste ban where prohibitions on the disposal and transfer for disposal of certain toxic and/or recyclable items (see “Summary” sidebar and reverse). Waste bans are intended to encourage reuse and/or recycling of certain waste materials, conserve disposal capacity, and reduce adverse environmental impacts from waste materials containing toxic substances.

Whether you're looking for a sweet spot to capture a family photo or snap that next Instagram selfie, you have to make sure no laws are being broken at the same. It's pretty obvious you don't want to be walking into a stranger's yard or sitting on that strangers porch as this is considered trespassing and illegal.

While Western/Central Massachusetts has a lot of wildernesses full of wildlife, the biggest issue for hunting seems to be in Eastern Massachusetts past I-495 heading towards Boston. I mean it makes sense being crime as bad as it is, you don't want to mistake gunfire near the city for something else when it's just an innocent hunter hunting wildlife.
