Talked to my police Chief buddy who believes that local ordinance can be stricter than state statute? This issue in this case was that city increased seat belt fines from $10 as defined by state to $50 by municipal judge. This discussion led to the fact that now the reason cities do not enforce pre act 35 firearm ordinances is bec of constitutional challenges. He believes that cities/villages can have ordinances stricter than state statute. I told him that is not the case. My question: Does the state allow/ exempt certain city ordinances to be stricter than state statutes I am trying to find the cite on state website but unsuccessful.
