I'd fight that. Surely there's a fourth amendment argument there (e.g. I need it to be high enough that police looking over it would constitute an illegal search).

My city limits fence heights, but the limit is 1.8m. a cop would need to be pretty tall to see over

Anyway, if you want more height you could grow a hedge. Also if you don't like the setback rules, a hedge can regain all the lost front yard

We have a fair few hedges.

I happen to be 1.9m or so, so a 1.8m fence wouldn't do much to prevent me from looking over since that's right about my eye level. So I'd opt for the hedge.
