As the academic Zeynep Tufekci (@zeynep) pointed out on Twitter, some of the things Tim Cook claims the app was used for aren’t even possible:
> HK map app can't be used to "individually" target police because it doesn't have any granular reporting and as anyone in Hong Kong can attest, the police travel in large groups. Repeat: the app has no granular function. More like police here, tear gas there, road block here.

Also, if it does indeed violate a law, why can no-one tell us which law? Even the HK police deferred to Apple when asked about this.
