It's less of a problem at the HS level, more of an issue at lower ages - Most high schools programs deal pretty harshly with parents that act crazy.

the real problem will come when nobody wants to officiate at certain venues.

The sad thing is when people are going nuts over a call and they don't even have the rule right.

I think this law was borne out of frustration. It's insane how a growing number of parents act at youth sports games. It's embarrassing to themselves and their children. I've had to pull parents off of trying to go after officials as they leave the field to go home. I've had to escort officials to their cars. I've had to pull them into the concession stand until people leave.

It's frustrating for the game officials, for league/tournament officials, and for other parents.

I do think this law, as written, is going to be hard to enforce. Are people really going to call the police out? Are the police really going to write a ticket / arrest? And what happens when the DA - who's a travel ball dad himself - just refuses the charges?
