White suprematists could use this to drum up fictitious charges against a person of color and make life heck. Hopefully the courts would withstand this and toss it out. Also, a bunch of trumphumpers could bring a charge against someone. This can easily be used to manufacture criminal charges and to harass or intimidate. But it could also be used for good like this one case. It looks overall that keeping a law like this on the books is too risky for the benefits.
