To: Chancellor Palpatine
It took me a while, but I finally figured out their attitude toward law enforcement. In their utopian society, a sovereign citizen charged with a crime must be politely notified and asked if he will voluntarily submit to the jurisdiction of the court. If he disagrees, the law he is being charged under is automatically suspect as being unconstimatooshinal. At the same time, there is no authority which allows force in his apprehension, inasmuch as he has not yet been found guilty. It is only when he voluntarily submits when he can actually be tried.....

There's that, but they're also more than willing to use the federal courts to sue. Of course, they do get into a pickle in court when, after filing lawsuits, they walk into the courtroom and say, "I don't recognize the jurisdiction of the court." This has prompted more that a few judges to ask, "if you're the one bringing the lawsuit, but you don't recognize the jurisdiction of the court, why are you here?"

It took me a while, but I've finally figured out your little groups attitude toward law enforcement.
In your ideal communitarian society, the law can do no wrong. Authorities must be obeyed for the good of the social order.

And if 'We The People' refuse to accept the jurisdicition of this social order, tough noogies:

With a proper Chancellor in charge, there is no need for a constimatooshin.

One Group! One Homeland! One Chancellor!
