TMK most laws ban disc brakes because of their tendency to not lock the front wheel. Bicycle break laws, when they exist, often state it must be capable of locking the front wheel while moving at speed (see: Bicycling and The Law).
But seriously, please don't talk to anyone in legislature or city council, EVER. We don't want to be told what kind of brakes we have to have.
