Sounds like the sheriff got a law passed so only he could crossdress. This assures that he will be the best looking crossdresser in walnut.

Well, here is another one, this time closer to home.
It is illegal to cross-dress in Ironton, OH
Ironton, for those who don't know, is right on the Ohio River across from Kentucky. Amazing what you can find when you are looking for something else.

Michelle, most of the information I have found has been while I was looking for something else.
Not really diectly CD, but there is a city ordanance here that makes it illegal for women to wear high heels downtwn. Obviously this is not enforced. At some point, a woman got her heel stuck and broke her foot/ankle.
Perhaps we could all apply for a permit from the Walnut Ca. Sheriff, can it be done online?
I enjoy being a boy, being a GIRL like me!!!
Problem is, a policeman COULD arrest you, throw you in the clink, and have every reason to do so as long as these laws are on the books. Even if the judge sets you free the next day, if the government of that location doesn't get rid of that law, it can happen again to you tomorrow.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Do you realize how many laws are on the books? There are millions upon millions. I never really paid attention to them for the longest time but a few years back I noticed that at the beginning of each new year a really large amount were signed into law.
In 2012, 44,000 new laws went into affect at the beginning of that year alone. each year afterwards, any where from 20,000 to as high as 36,000 went into affect. last year California ALONE passed 900 new laws.
They pick one or two laws to tell you about but the rest are pretty unknown and trying to look them up isn't easy. The moral of the story is, there are a whole slew of laws we are expected to obey that no one knows about. I would say, taking CDing out of it, that we break a law just waking up every morning. Quite simply, there are plenty of laws out there to help them fill their coffers or arrest anyone at any given time for any given reason. that's how out of control it is.
If i get arrested for wearing pantyhose, at least I am being arrested in style

Flip Flops were made for Beaches & Bath Houses, We have neither in 2017. Lose the flip flops!
Honestly I think there's a better chance you'd get bitten by a rabid squirrel walking through a park (while crossdressed of course). The backlash against any police officer enforcing this law would be immense.Originally Posted by sometimes_miss
Hi Michelle, Hollywood could make a great comedy movie about the crazy laws still on the books...
...
Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~...
I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !
If at first you don't succeed, Then Skydiving isn't for you.
Be careful what you wish for, Once you ring a bell , you just can't Un-Ring it !! !!
Also keep in mind that traffic violation fines are figured into each town's budgets every year.
So traffic tickets must be given out no matter what just to support the towns budget.
The most treacherous time for this is late at night, particularly near the end of the month when cops are actively looking for people to give tickets to .
In the past when I worked nights, (and was on the road nights) I have gotten tickets for things that were not even illegal.
The hope is, you will not know that it is a bogus charge and pay the fine.. which very often happens.
Other times, they will just use the catch all... made up charge that you failed to stay in lane and you will have no defense for that, even if it is a total fabrication .
So, one must think twice about driving "dressed" at night as you then have the most chance of being stopped .

There are many laws about gender identity and sexual orientation which are unenforceable but not yet repealed, particularly in municipal codes. Probably most of the local Sheriff Department in Walnut, California doesn't even know about the law you cited. I liked the suggestion by Stephanie47 that a movement to repeal it might force politicians who are trying to play both sides against the middle make a stand on gender rights.
Bit of advice. Don't ask cops what is illegal. They don't fully know. It's more likely they will pull you over for what they think is illegal. Most arrests are probably the things they know are illegal. If you want to know if something is legal or not, call a lawyer or a judge. It's their job to know the law. I asked a cop if something was illegal and all they said was 'I wouldn't do it' even though the question wasn't would you do it, it was is it legal. Cops know things like speeding, drug possession, domestic abuse, ect. They know the general. You want fine details, talk to a lawyer.
