38. Wisconsin: Kissing On Trains
Public displays of affection were heavily regulated during the Victorian era due to rampant moral concerns and strict social modesty standards. A bizarre local law states that kissing on a commercial passenger train is completely illegal. This rule was heavily promoted by railway operators to prevent romantic couples from engaging in scandalous behavior during long cross-country commutes, ensuring that the passenger cabins remained completely modest, quiet, and family-friendly. Today, railway conductors are far more concerned with collecting digital tickets and maintaining transit schedules than actively monitoring the romantic lives of their passengers.
