. We're sorry about the hassle.
No . This does not violate the second law of reflection.
As one can see from the above picture, at any point on such a surface a tangent can be drawn and the incident and reflected ray, as well as the normal will lie in one plane at each and every particular point . Furthermore, even the first law of reflection is not violated as angle of incidence is the same as angle of reflection.
