They would have to identify you and/or your bike actually breaking a law. Personally, one of these rides comes up on me, I'm pulling over and waiting for the **** storm to pass

They could impound your bike, parade you on the news and tell you to tell it to the judge.
Or they review their cameras for facts and let you go.
Or they hunt you down later and arrest you at work or home
Or some trigger happy cop tazers you or rams you with their car.
Just some possibilities since you asked.

I'd probably just slow down and pull over.
Just move to the right lane, slow down, and let the shenanigans pass. If you're behaving, and have a legit license plate, you've got nothing to worry about.
Even if you get pulled over in error, even if you get charged with something in error, the lack of evidence against you will sort the situation out.
I think we're past the threshold for someone to invent a legislative solution to this... I give it about two weeks

You're never going to stop this by passing laws. This is an enforcement problem. The officer is right, gather info through cruiser vids, online vids, old fashioned police work etc and eventually people are getting busted. Is it really worth all the hassle to track them down though? Life has a way of teaching these guys a lesson, with a trip to the hospital or worse.
Of course not. That doesn't stop the Ontario legislature
Alright who saw themselves in the videos here? Come on...speak up...don't be shy! We won't judge! LoL Who am I kidding, of course we will!
Legislation will never stop this. Just like HTA172 hasn't stopped idiocy on the roads, any new legislation won't stop this either.

So long as we're not talking s.172
What the? How do you lock up the front while on a highway entrance ramp?
If you go frame by frame, he keeps looking over his right shoulder then a big fat skid mark and the bike goes down. Looks like the road was clear in front too...
I see a lot of spot checks in the future in the GTA, specially for plate flipping devices, probably (not totally undeservedly so) targeted at sportbikes. A law that carries an absolute liability fine of, say, $10K (and vehicle seizure until corrected) if found in possession of one will put some fear into the hooligan community in a hurry.
I'm reminded of a thread on here recently with a guy whining about getting a licence plate ticket because his plate was relocated. I think this is just the tip of the iceburg and everyone can thank these dbags for the attention.
All fine and dandy until one of them takes out some innocent people along with themselves when they crash. You wouldn't feel that way if it was your wife or one of your kids in that scenario, would you?
Yeah yeah, flame suit on...waiting for all the "think of the children!" responses now. Again, all theoretical...until it's not.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next time the mob rides on a controlled access highway that they get kettled. It's hard to pull over riders in a group, it's not hard to block off a highway with fences on both sides and limited entry/exit points. Sure some cars would get caught in the mess too, but those could be quickly let go.
Cops would have no mercy on the bikes and I suspect the majority would get towed for equipment violations/lack of documentation. Again, as Brian P said, if you are the legal guy that gets caught in the mess, other than wasted time, you shouldn't have any problems.

So long as you find the right group it isn't so bad...that said, solo can still be better as you can control your own pace 100%, plus if group numbers get over about 10 things typically go down hill a bit.
Also with the potential for more spot checks, more reason to save a bit of money and keep a bike looking as stock as possible. Been debating getting an eliminator (not one that places the plate under the tail but still), and have pretty much decided I'll keep the stock fender and save $200.

Kind of how most media outlets were "warning" drivers of the new rules that came in effect this past Sept 1st for distracted driving and pedestrian crosswalks...
When the article they were referencing clearly stated Sept 1st 2015...
