Technically, it's still unlimited data, it's the speed of that data that changes after a certain amount.
Legally I don't think that would be an issue.
It's kind of dirty pool, but not illegal.
Sounds to me that Santa Clara County should have read the details of the contract before signing Verizon to be their provider. It also sounds to me that their emergency planners did a poor job preparing for large scale emergencies and didn't have contingencies in place to provide redundancies for critical services.
