Obviously, not all of them, but racoons CAN have rabies.
Some racoons do have raibies. If you see them frothing at the mouth that is a distinct sign and you should back away slowly. Do Not Try To Pet It! If it does have raibies you petting it would cause irritation and it could bite you.

Some raccoons may carry rabies but not all of them. If a raccoon is acting abnormally, however, stay clear of it and call authorities.

Raccoons can carry the rabies virus but not all animals are infected. However, all raccoons should be treated as if they were infected and avoid contact with them.
