Insane Vegas Law Might Jail People For Taking Photos

People hoping to take some great photos in Las Vegas better have their wrists lubricated for the handcuffs that might come out.

Now, I’m sure many of you saw the headline and must be thinking to yourselves, “How the hell can taking a photo in Las Vegas result in possible jail time? Surely, this must be a joke, right?”

Ladies and gentlemen, I wish that was the case, but unfortunately, I have some dark news to share. A new city ordinance is in effect that bans “stopping, standing or engaging in an activity that causes another person to stop” on certain areas of the strip and that includes the awesome pedestrian bridges, according to Men’s Journal.

The measure extends to 20 feet surrounding connected stairs, elevators and escalators, according to LiveNowFox. The exemption to the ordinance is anyone who is waiting for the elevators, escalators or stairs.

That will keep you out of the metal bracelets. Other than that, you better be ready to serve the punishment of up to six months in jail or a fine of $1,000.
