It's a common tactic. By angering the non-benders, he will provoke them into breaking him stupid laws and by doing that, they will unwillingly empower him to take more stern actions against them. You can say a lot of bad things about Tarrlok, but he is no fool. As a clever politician he is playing a dirty game according to the rules, which will make it hard to rightfully put a stop to his actions without crossing a boundary yourself. Both Tarrlok and Amon are two clever people playing a dangerous game.
