I have a brother-in-law who is a retired Deputy Chief of Police for a small Chicago suburb. I was complaining to him about the "Village Idiots" that we have in our city council who sit around and make up stupid City Ordinances. Then we are forced to pay property taxes to pay an Ordinance Officer to go around and enforce these Ordinances.
My brother-in-law told me that most of these City Ordinances are actually unconstitutional, but people rarely challenge them, they just go along with them and/or pay the fines. If someone were to hire a lawyer to challenge them, they would probably win but it wouldn't be worth the cost of the legal fees.
That is how the Southern states got away with all of their Jim Crow laws for so many years.
