“Tell me what law was broken?”

The basis of the entirety of the common law, which is the underpinning of Western Civilization, was raped.

On the other hand, absolutely no aspect whatsoever of administrative regulatory law was touched, which as you pointed out, is innately devoid of mercy.

So in answer to your question - take your pick.

In short, no law was broken.
