Are these federal laws or state laws?

I vaguely remember a story from a couple of years ago about a guy in Michigan on trial for violating a state law by swearing in front of children and/or women.

But you may psychologically frighten and intimidate the fish, though it does have the right to remain silent.

I am not sure but I think they are all New York State laws, although I think I heard those laws also exist in other states

What's the legality of putting your balls on someone's head for fun?

Ask Red Rigma about that one. I think you only get slapped with "You're an ASSHOLE" fine. At least that is what I rememeber from the court settlement.
