Your beef is with those who write the ordinances and laws which are enforced by the police.
You're better off taking them on, because I've got news for you:
You ain't gonna win a confrontation with the cops.
Yes, it is. But it's also with their pawns. That "defense" didn't work any better at Nuremberg than it does here.
You ain't gonna win a confrontation with the cops.
There are a lot of ways to "win" such a confrontation. Sometimes when the cops "win," they lose. (Ask Rodney King.) My guess is that this will prove to be one of those times. It depends on how much hell the Unsers raise about it, and whether they decide to sic some pitbull civil rights lawyer on the city. Then the taxpayers end up covering the bill for a bunch of overzealous "guardians" who are more of a threat to the public weal than any so-called criminal.
