The law is still on the books... I understand your point, but because politics has entered into it doesn't mean the law is null and void. You and I both know it may take months or years to overturn a law or to get politicians to amend that law. It also depends on the law...
it's not void, but it's been put on hold. It's suspended for the time being. As such, it's no longer a valid law which gives power to the police to enforce. The police cannot enforce a suspended law. It's part of the standard checks and balances we have on our system. It would be dangerous, IMO, to state that cops can enforce any law they want regardless of judiciary review.
