I think that any officer who does this while being aware of the unconstitutionality of the law is guilty of wrongful imprisonment or some similar crime. 

To the extent that police who are ignorant of the law's blatant unconstitutionality arrest flag-burners, that's no different from if a black man and white woman were arrested for being married, because the police officer forgot it wasn't the 1950s.

He wants it to be a formally enforced law so bad that he is willfully ignoring the consitutionality factor.

No, just stating it is a law that is enforced.
