I'm pretty sure the police would actually have been violating the law not to inform the military of the license.
Also, it's nice that she played by the rules of DADT, but she violated a couple others in the process. You are legally require din the military to inform them of a marriage, and you do have to get you commander's permission before marrying in the military, it's virtually never denied but you can not get married in the military without your commander's permission. So saying she followed the rules is wrong, and she could have received stiff penalty for that alone, hetero or lesbian.

It would not have been a violation of the law to not inform the military of the license. I am not sure of your logic there but keep in mind this woman was not under investigation for anything. I am not even sure why they told the military anything of the investigation (although she certainly should have informed her commanders).
As for the additional rules she broke (of which I did not know about), her inability to disclose her marriage to her commander due to DADT shows just how confounding the policy is. To follow one rule she had to break others.
