VII.   Law

Force, is either valid lawful compulsion by authority to perform or refrain from certain actions or unlawful violence. When properly authorized, force is also known as "enforcement".

The word force comes from the Latin fortis meaning "strong, sturdy, brave or resolute".

In the absence of proper authority, no use of force by an official is lawful.

No order has authority, therefore no enforcement is lawful unless it is in accord with these Canons.

Enforcement is unlawful unless the obligation sought to be enforced is clearly defined by some valid deed and the person to whom the enforcement is directed has previously consented to perform the obligation. Enforcement is always unlawful if sought against any implied obligation, or claimed secret agreement.

Fraud of agreement and agreement negates any claim of valid enforcement. Fraud of consent by failure to disclose or deliberate concealment negates any claim of enforcement.

Valid enforcement of Statute law is equivalent to enforcement of Contract Law, Trust Law and Property Rights.

The issue of an order itself does not make authorized enforcement.

Any military, police or other armed person that unlawfully enforces an illegal order, consents and assumes all liability and penalty.

Any military rank that unlawfully enforces an illegal order consents and agrees that they no longer possess any honor, valid rank nor code and are nothing more than a criminal militia force.

Any military or police that refuses to obey a lawful order of enforcement issued by an Official Person in accordance with these Canons is guilty of treason, extreme dishonor and consents and agrees to any and all punishment and disgrace.
