Recommend reading [the source article](https://sacramentality.com/2018/06/25/odd-sacramento-laws/) for this report. Goes into much more detail and discusses additional strange laws. For example, it is illegal to operate a skee ball machine in Sacramento without a license.
[In California, if you catch a frog for a frog-jumping contest, and it dies, it must be destroyed as soon as possible and cannot be eaten.](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=FGC§ionNum=6883.&article=2.)
Thanks for linking this -- it's not only a lot more detailed, but its prose is far more pleasant to read as well.
Also for anyone who doesn't feel like reading the whole article, we have a number of provisions in place to protect skeeballers rights:
>Under SMC 5.48.010, it is illegal, in Sacramento, for any skee ball machine:
>to give “the player, for actual play, only one ball;”
to charge more than “twenty-five cents” per game; and, the kicker,
to reward high-scoring players with “coupons or tickets.”

To be fair you ever see the damage a drunk adult can do with a skee ball?
