No, but if a law is applied inconsistently it raises questions about whether 1) the law is sensible 2) the regulatory system is unbiased. Pointing to such inconsistencies is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Resolving those inconsistencies in the law because of uneven enforcement would come quite a long time after the fact. But as the law stands now, this is probably illegal. I doubt anyone will be prosecuted for it, though.
