Probably a local ordinance. You can try to take it to court but I don't think anyone has ever won.

I disagree. Nobody's going to win by challenging the ordinance. But for a first-time offense, you're very likely to get the ticket cancelled if you show up in court dressed respectably and very politely say "Your honor, I had absolutely no idea this was prohibited, and I won't do it again. I'd really appreciate it if I could be let off with just a warning this time. Paying the fine will be a real hardship for me."
