Most likely, things don't go that far. Prosecutors don't want to take losing cases. There are no high-stakes consequences, as there ought to be, but it also doesn't look good for anyone involved. Your bigger picture, though, is smack-on. By the time you hit the legal system -- criminal or civil -- you've already lost. A typical case will bankrupt most people in the US. Thing is, one can always come up with an excuse to sue / prosecute someone. There's a deeper problem there which this law doesn't change. I'd rather address root causes.
