What makes it illegal?


FAR 91.126



The requirement to make left turns (except when
making right turns!) is an FAA requirement. No legislature passed this
law.


The US Congress passed the Federal Aviation Act which authorizes and directs
the FAA to develop plans for and formulate policy with respect to the use of
the navigable airspace and assign by rule, regulation, or order the use of
the navigable airspace as necessary in order to insure the safety of
aircraft and the efficient utilization of such airspace.



What the FAA requires, the FAA can amend.


Yes, but they haven't amended the regulation.



You know that it is not a law.


It is law.



Think: if you bust the requirement,
will the local sheriff come out and arrest you?


So only that which the local sheriff might arrest me for is law?



No. The FAA will lift
your certificate at worst. There is merely an institutional
requirement, and to enforce it there is an institutional remedy. There
is nothing "illegal" about it.


Nonsense.
