Sure,some members will stand on principle and disobey such an illegal order.They will then be relieved of duty and a 'yes man' will certainly replace them.The outcome in the field is the same.

Passing laws to prevent a bent government from breaking its own regulations are akin to toothless gun laws which ban possession by felons,as neither party cares about the legalities of their actions.

There wont be too many that will disobey. Many if not most LEOs, in pursuit of authority and the pension, will cross the line willingly.
