9. The law can be challenged in court, but no judge would issue a warrant

if a crime has not been committed and no prosecutor would ask for it, or submit it to a grand jury - it would be bad faith prosecution. It wouldn't even get as far as a fight over the validity of the warrant. It's a bad law but as I said before, passing a bad law isn't a crime; and anyhow, the legislators who voted for it would probably be protected by legislative immunity. It would be a horrible precedent, too.
