"city preemption" or even "county preemption" is a horrible idea.
We all think of it in terms of firearms, but think about it as if it applied to automobiles....
Right turn on red is legal in Adamsville, but if you go to Bakersfield you get a $500 fine.
Having a passenger is legal in Bakersfield, but illegal in Chesterfield.
Chesterfield says it's perfectly fine to have non-stock tires, but Daviston says they have to be the same size as the manufacturer equipped the car with at the factory.
How is someone from another town, or from another state supposed to know and be obedient to all these laws in all these different places?
Certain things NEED to be uniform across a state (if not the nation).
