One possibility would be to implement an AP system, but limit the payout for any one target to a fairly low value, say $1000. (enough to cause a bit of worry). Then file a lawsuit in Federal Court for an injunction against law enforcement authorities to demand that the legalities of such a system be debated and declared. 'They' would have to explain and document why they thought that such a system was illegal, or admit it would be legal.
