If I were here, I'd ask them a few questions...

Are you claiming that I'm operating a business? If so, please provide the business license that I applied for.

Are you claiming that I'm a city employee subject to city ordinances? If so please show my contract and last pay stub as proof.

City ordinances ONLY apply to city employees. Yes, they are enforced upon everyone EXCEPT the city but that doesn't change the fact that cities, townships, and other legal fictions can ONLY dictate to their employees.

Rights are inherent and inalienable.

No municipal corporation (that is what cities, townships, and such are) has ANY authority to tell people not acting as city employees what they can or cannot do.
