With that said I'd like to add I'm all for breaking rules. Like trying to hide them or something. As long as they aren't loud and bring attention to themselves and you don't tell anyone
Unfortunately ordinances (laws, rules) are usually pretty straightforward and clear. If you're in violation of laws rules there's usually not much you can do but adhere to them. Quite frankly you're no different than I and neither of us are special and get preferential treatment.
