You’re a criminal in any Empire if you commit a violation of law of that Empire on the territory of that Empire.
Where is this “James” space exactly? Could you please be so kind and move there and enforce any rules you see fit - but in your space. As well I don’t think anyone of us will be policing our laws in your space (at least without declaring war on you).
I won’t speak for everyone else, but I myself enforce Caldari State laws. If I see flashing red CODE vessel flying by in our space, damn sure I’ll just blap it on contact in order to protect enterpreneurs working in our space from piracy. And trust me, I will do it with utmost efficiency, CODE ships are really no threat to me or to CONCORD - only to peaceful civilians. For me killing CODE criminal in high security space is as easy as squashing an annoying mosquito that tries to suck your blood.
And yet, where is hypocrisy?
Again, unlike you, we don’t violate laws. And we don’t violate YOUR laws for sure - in YOUR space. As I said, you won’t see me roaming in CODE space looking for CODE vessels to blap. But damn sure I’ll eliminate a criminal on my way in our space.
And one more time, your pilots do violate our laws, they attack innocents, commit acts of piracy and racketeering. I don’t think you should even opening your mouth about any of laws considering type of activity your pilots conduct. You can’t enforce a law committing piracy and racketeering. Claiming you would stand for law after that is even more than hypocrisy in my book.
