Can you have a raccoon for a pet?

My dad owned a raccoon as a kid, it fell down his neighbor's chimney as an infant, and they bottle fed it & kept it until it ran away for good, but even as an adult, they left it in an enclosure outside to let it out during "mating season" but he would always come back, and run along the headrests of my dad's pickup truck when he drove down the road. Ever since he told me that, and showed me pictures, I've always wanted a pet raccoon, or squirrel (my aunt raised an abandoned litter of them when I was little). At least I can get the squirrel in the game, but I would love to have a raccoon be my pet in the game.
People have all kinds of wild pets, my friend's fiance wants a skunk (he won't ever get one because my friend would freak out, but still, that's his dream in life). I think I'm going to download the cat from the exchange that looks like a raccoon.

& Not ALL raccoons have rabies, so that's kind-of a dumb comment to make. All animals are prone to rabies/other diseases, that doesn't mean they're all infected with it, or that they ever will be.

I absolutely agree with liltab1121, that it's a matter of opinion, it's kind of like being a cat person vs a dog person. Some people like exotic animals, I don't consider raccoons to be exotic and I'm pretty sure there aren't laws against owning them since they're considered pests though there might be.
