So are the police themselves not breaking the law here?

I don't think so. The featured article only mentions 1) federal encouragement to relax these citations and 2) a city council resolution encouraging the mayor to evaluate the situation. Neither of these are law.

No, because it's not "the law", it's "guidance".
