First Amendment, anyone?

The impersonating a police officer or active duty soldier is a whole other issue, but this law is way out of bounds. Let’s get all the child molesters of the streets before we start using tax payer dollars to prosecute people because they are wearing medals they are not supposed to.
What I don't understand is how a statute trumps the constitution. Certainly, what one wears is expression, no?
