Yes, it was against the law.  So what?  There is no issur, and a huge
mitzvah, so the law can go hang itself.  *Even if* you believe that there
is some sort of chiyuv to obey the law, there is no basis whatsoever for
elevating that chiyuv above a dikduk kal shel divrei sofrim.  For this
purpose he would be allowed to be mechalel shabbos, kal vachomer that
he can and should ignore the law.
