Which has no bearing what so ever on private property and if it did then they oversteped their authority and a court, non local, would tell them to shove their retarded law right where the sun don't shine.
Even local statues can be illegal if deemed so by a court. If you fail locally you can appeal and likely state court would crush them.
This kind of retarded power hungry BS happens all the time.
Your other option, if anyone here gets charged for something on private property, is to let them charge you and take it to a jury trial (likely county or state court) and make sure they understand what "Jury Nulification" is.
As soon as you mention that, make sure you blurt out in 10 seconds flat wtf it is because the Judge is gona put a gag order over you and order the jury to disregard your statement (too late sucker) right after his heart attack is over and he stops choaking on his dentures.
Trust me.
Civil rights are so unknown to the average person. Educate them.
Remember.... Jury Nulification. Learn it, memorize it, recite it, love it. It's the only true power you have against injustice as a citizen.
Jury Nulification first appeared in the UK and spread to Canada and the US so anyone living in these nations can use it. Not sure about others.
