But, Local law overpowers state and federal law, no matter what. If you present this fact to the court, your trial will be declared either that you win, or mistrial
No man, it's the opposite. Federal Law always trumps state law because of the supremacy clause in the Constitution:

"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be Supreme Law of the land; and the Judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
State law always trumps local law, bucause cities get all of their powers from the state. They are just creations of the state, and the state could take away all of their power anytime it wants.

So that's why the Denver law doesn't do much.
