the origin of crime

[Kokuten]

There is a "Fenspace Constitution" that's a nice weighty document, but..
It only exists to keep "Those poor Earthbound Beurecrats" happy. The living, active, Fenspace Constitution is just that simple.

---

* Don't kill anyone.
* Don't enslave anyone.
* Don't rape anyone.
* Don't rob anyone.
* An it harm none save yourself, do what you will

Court in Fenspace is a lot simpler than Earth/U.S.A. You get two parties who are in conflict, they agree on a judge, the judge takes care of the rest. This is slowly creating a 'body of law', which happens to be nowhere near internally coherent, nor does it precisely follow the Paper Constitution...
I think that law and crime in Fenspace is a lot simpler than you'd think. That guy playing his Belter Shatterjam at 130DbM at 3:am local in a Stellvia residential block is not breaking the law - he's breaking Stellvia residential regulations, and is liable for reasonable punishment thereunder. The guy with the 'stinky green asteroid' doing a nice fiscal line in marijuana and tobacco, on the other hand, is breaking no laws at all.
