That? I expect Law enforcement to step in. What started this post was nothing even close to that.

Not everyone is going to be lore compliant. It's a simple fact of life and while this guide was probably made in good faith, not everyone is going to necessarily want to abide by it nor care. I personally will be roleplaying as much as I can within the bounds of lore, but some people are just going to want to go hog wild and that's equally valid.I agree.
The guide is nice but you are expecting everyone to follow it. The issue then becomes when you are interrupting someone's roleplay to push the 'law' on someone who did not wish to partake in the first place. I know why you made this post and anyone on Tumblr can find it.
That's silly. If you're roleplaying in the world, you should expect the average person to abide by the rules of that world. If I encountered someone who was very obviously breaking some sort of law, my character wouldn't act like it was normal. He would at least be confused and note that something was wrong. The guide is for people to understand how things are supposed to go in this place that not many people have had time to get familiar with. There's nothing wrong with giving people information about how things are supposed to work in the world they're playing in.
I still stand by that this is a fine guide for people interested in Law Enforcement in Kugane, but it doesn't matter if it is open world or not; No everyone wants to RP inside a house all day and there isn't private zones. JUST ASK before engaging! It is just a courtesy.
For example, if two folk are outweighing the pros and cons between taking someone in alive, or collecting a bounty on their head, that's not quite a proper reason to take someone into custody, etc.
