Happy New Year?

Maybe not, if you plan to ride in the trunk of a car, fire a BB gun willy-nilly, cheat on state taxes, or work as a shopping-mall Santa after committing a sex crime.

More than 900 new laws target those and myriad other issues, ranging from global warming to dog tethering to minimum wages. Alligator boots, poker nights and sea otters are winners this year, while hazing, graffiti vandalism and street racing are losers.
