That is so sweet of you both. Thank-you.

I agree, it is a law that will lead to abuses. There are always neighbours who dislike a dog and want to get rid of it. Or a dog hating person who just wants to hurt dogs and their owners. People with grudges can threaten to report your dog as threatening. The possibilities for abuse are endless.
I don't see any way that this law will help protect people from aggressive dogs.
Dog owners will have to be so careful of people. They will have to stop having company if they want to keep their dog safe. All the law will do is create a climate of mistrust and unfriendliness.
