Cheyenne City Council

If you call 911 and ask for directions, you may be getting more than directions -- you may be looking at up to six months in jail, up to a $750 fine, or both.

In 1897, The City of Cheyenne passed an ordinance prohibiting public performances without a permit. Nearly 122 years later, singing Christmas carols in public could, technically, subject you to a $750 fine or six months in jail.
