From your anecdote it almost sounds like the guy is already expecting to have to take the rebellious route, but wanted to avoid it if possible. Must be pretty darn hard to be a cop right now.
His response should be that enforcing such orders is a lower priority than the violations of other existing laws. Therefore he is exercising prioritization, not questioning color of authority.

I was a cop. If a chief is unable to put his foot down on tyranny he should vacate his post. The entire department should follow suit and then sue.
