If any officers are enforcing unenforceable signs on city property, take it up with the dept, city attorney, or even the Sheriff. The officers are not attorneys and will enforce whatever regulations they are told by those paying them the overtime to be there.

My wife got a "rife to jail" for a class C. She has a nasty habit of throwing her cigarette butts out the window of her car. A cop saw her and pulled her over for a class c littering charge. BUT then Informed her that she is being charged for a felony, attempted ARSON! After she was in the car he told her that the cigarette butt hit his car and could have burned him. He was going to charge her with Arson, distruction of city property and attempted assault of a police officer! No, this is not true, she got a letter in the mail not to litter and a Don't mess with Texas trashbag. But thanks for reading what COULD have likely happened.

In my LE career I've made about 10 arrests on class C offences. One less than 2 weeks ago. It's not that uncommon.

Did you make them for offenses that were not an offense?

That would open them and their agency up to a law suit. I don't see a mature officer wanting that problem and I also don't see being arrested in a Class C unless he is just a huge knucklehead.
