Which State Is It Illegal to Dress Up as a Priest for Halloween?
In Alabama, it’s illegal to dress up as a priest or other religious clergy member for Halloween. According to Section 13A-14-4 of the Alabama Code, "Whoever, being in a public place, fraudulently pretends by garb or outward array to be a minister of any religion, or nun, priest, rabbi or other member of the clergy, is guilty of a misdemeanor." Breaking the law could earn you a $500 fine and up to a year in jail. If you live in Alabama, we hope that wasn’t your plan for today. If so, you may want to shelve the collar or consider heading to a different state to celebrate.
