Yes, but no-one's saying it does.

A CoC says show the Powers That Be will act. “If you do X, we will do Y”. (e.g. X = “sexually assault someone“, Y = “use our powers as event organisers to legally require you to leave”). But the law might not allow you to do Y, because you;'re “promoting a crime”.
