It does sound like that is an unconstitutional law though.

I suggest you're falling into the common (liberal) trap of assuming any law of which you disapprove should be considered unconstitutional.

Which provision of the Constitution would such a law violate?

Without commenting on the merits of the case you're referring to, I suggest you're falling into the common assumption that unconstitutionality refers only to laws that come into conflict with some "provision" of the Constitution. In that, you're proving correct the opponents of the Bill of Rights who feared that some would start to believe that only those things found in the Bill of Rights would be considered protected rights rather than merely enumerated rights of a larger set of unwritten unalienable rights.
