They will only get in trouble if first they ban people of a protected class, and secondly it can be shown that their stated reason for banning was a lie covering their desire to actually ban people of a protected class or represents a bias against those members merely via statistical fact.
Merely being arbitrary in enforcement or inconsistent isn’t enough to automatically trigger government protection.
