Adultery, Blasphemy & Boozy Train Rides: Michigan's Untold Laws

from Time Tellers · host Time Tellers

Step into a world where romantic betrayal could land you on a true crime episode — not because you were murdered, but because Michigan still treats adultery like a felony. We follow the curious edges of the state code: a rarely enforced law that could mean up to four years behind bars, a ban on being intoxicated in a train station that applies to Amtrak (sorry, Polar Express), and a blasphemy statute declared unconstitutional yet stubbornly written into law. This episode stitches together courtroom lore, baffling statutes, and the real people who bump up against them, with a detour to Minnesota’s greased pigs and chicken-head antics for comic relief. Tune in for legal oddities, human drama, and the unsettling reminder that some laws outlive common sense.
