Chris and the law

Chris aways [sic] keeps an eye out for criminal scum who would dare steal Sonichu.

Chris has had several run-ins with the law.

Law troubles

On 20 July 2005, Chris was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing for stalking women at the mall and being a total tard, as depicted in Sub-Episode 1. After two hearings, he was not punished. Five days later, Chris followed a car too closely. This went to court on 12 September. He was fined $30 and had to pay $56 in costs.

Chris's ORIGINAL and OFFICIAL laws

Where Chris's ORIGINAL and OFFICIAL laws come from.

As he believes the police in real life are corrupt and sees them in the same light as he sees the jerkops in his comic, Chris has his own spin on the law. The penalties for drinking, smoking and internet harassment involve physical violence including a "Kick in the Teeth" which Chris portrays as a punch in the only one of his supposed series of Q&A videos.

On new years eve, 2009, Chris presented a nice babble about a law he wants made to prevent Jack Thaddeus from using adspace he paid for.

“	I Have The Instinct, and I Have Already Snail-Mailed President Barack Obama on how this sort of bad advertisement is going on and how it is Wrong and should be made Illegal. On HOW if the Main Captain does not WANT or IS OFFENDED with the listed Ads within his own Website or Works, REGARDLESS of who controls the AdSpace, WOULD REMOVE THOSE ADS or face JAILTIME. And the F.B.I. would be FULLY INVOLVED in all this, and THEY have the Power, Tools and Balls to seek, hunt down and bring in the Individual Internet Trolls and Ad-Spammers.	”
Chris, Thinking he's important

Yes, you heard it right. Chris wants to ask the President of the United States to make advertisements he doesn't want illegal. From a practical standpoint, Cwcipedia is the only wiki that has a "Main Captain". This "Main Captain" does literally nothing to run or maintain the site at all. Furthermore, if someone paid for adspace, the host that received the money must allow the purchasing party to use said adspace for the allotted time, no matter what they advertise, or the host faces legal penalties. And last but not least, the President has better things to do than slap laws on Wikis.

This attitude is also reflected on his relationship with Mary Lee Walsh. Years ago, She interrupted Chris in what looked like soliciting for sex. Hilarity ensued and Chris received some well-deserved time-out for his antics. Fast-forward in 2009 when Chris, out of the blue, decides to make peace. He went to her home and left her a "Framed Hand-Drawn Apology" on her doorsteps. Knowing Chris's attitude, she filled a trespassing notice. In pure stalker logic, Chris said that since he didn't read the letter and returned it to the sender, he's not legally liable.

Mailbag 55 posits a few more original laws: one, that it should be illegal for men to ever show their bare chest (because, according to Chris, no one in the entire world ever wants to see a man's bare chest, no matter what shape he's in). He also wants to force all women in any kind of relationship to wear rings, thus defeating all symbolism and significance of them.

TL;DR: Chris ignores the law when it's inconvenient, yet expects it to save the day when the Autism card doesn't work.

Repealed!

In his Rollin' and Trollin' video Chris announces that the CWCville prohibition has been repealed, and the first bar is opening up soon.

Understanding

Chris implying guns are the answer.

Like his grip on reality, Chris's understanding of the law is tenuous at best. He regularly threatens trolls with legal action, and makes no distinction in severity between a troll threatening violence against Chris and a troll uploading a harmless picture of Rosechu with a pickle to the internet. As a matter of fact, Chris himself is prone to making extremely violent threats, such as threatening to murder Vivian and her entire family because of the audiobooks. He's done everything from calling the police to convincing his father to write to then-President Bush in an attempt to get rid of his Encyclopedia Dramatica page. He has even attempted (poorly) to impersonate the President in a hilarious attempt to convince the trolls at ED to take down his page. Chris also believes that the laws in CWCville and the laws stated in Mailbag 55 should be enforced in real life.

Chris himself doesn't have much respect for laws and rules, at least when their enforcement inconveniences him. During his time at Target he didn't see anything wrong with exploiting the free refill policy and loitering for hours at a time in a privately-owned establishment while harassing female customers and apparently soliciting sex. Chris feels that his emotional state entirely justifies his actions at times, stating in Vivian's AIM Chat that he should be excused for disturbing the peace by literally shouting "NOOOOOOO!" loudly in the middle of a crowded mall during the events of Sub-episode 2.

Self-contradictory to a fault, though, Chris is happy to meticulously follow some laws while ignoring others at the same time. In Sonichu Special 4, his cartoon avatar makes a point of obeying the exact speed limit...while on his way to confront CChanSonichuCWC and commit assault with a deadly weapon upon him. Any intelligent and decent person could tell you which of these laws is more important, but Chris is neither intelligent nor decent.

In addition, Chris has very little respect for those who enforce the law:

“	Verbal Combat had started, and during the fight, I ran off, still giving verbal punishment, as well as da finger, and many “Curse-Ye-Ha-Me-Has.” I nearly backed up onto him with my car, and I gave him another finger. Then I dashed off.	”
Excerpt from Chris's diary

The above quote pretty much defines Chris's attitude towards law enforcement officials. He feels that it is completely appropriate to flip off, insult, lie to, and attempt to hit, with his car, people who are simply doing their jobs (although the tale may be exaggerated, it is nonetheless pretty damn awful). And, of course, as any rational person (i.e., anyone who's not Chris) would understand, running away from law enforcement officials is a seriously bad idea. Chris is truly a rebel without a cause or effect.

In the Comics

Chris's understanding of the law in his comics goes so far as to been seen as a mixture of childish tendencies and, some might say, dictatorial tendencies. In CWCville, Chris has banned a number of things in his city, as smoking or drinking alcohol would lead one to be either sentenced to 10 years in jail or a much more lenient $1500 USD fine. Even stranger is the the fact that the city tends to lack other races or even other sub-cultures, beyond Chris, the Sonichus and Rosechus, a handful of (white) males and females, and the few Transformers in his town, lead many to think that Chris has banned them as well. The Rosechus tend to fight for women's rights, that is to say, the ability to strip naked whenever and wherever they want to. While it's pretty much fine and dandy in CWCville, they were most likely attempting to do this for across the US, which is pretty stupid to begin with.

As Mayor, Chris has been seen as a do-nothing Mayor, preferring to have his secretary do all the work (as per his thoughts on women) while he goes off on another one of his sweetheart searches. He has mandated "Date Education" classes for students so that they can learn to go on dates, as well as how to "stay straight". Any sort of police force has yet to be actually seen, giving the impression that only Chris and his Pokemon abominations are the only thing standing in between peace and eternal virgins with rage. However, Sonichu 9 seems to reveal that there is three sets of "other" protectors: a (possibly) nondescript police force, as well as his own team of Power Rangers and a team of Transformers.

“	Is CWCville under Martial Law?	”
Jack Thaddeus citing the truth as he sees it

It gets even more scarier; in a conversation that Chris had with Jack Thaddeus, He reveals that CWCville is the home of a paramilitary force equipped with tanks he uses as a "Police Force" and all his Electric Pokemons have IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION and are over the law. If we add all this to the fact that there's no free elections in CWCville, this shows us the city in the hands of a dictator running it with a hand of steel and backed with super-powered goons freed to do any atrocity with impunity. Chris also plan to use Magi-Chan to mentally scan the city perimeters for any sexual acts. If the said relation is between homosexuals or between an adult and anyone under the age of 18, the participants would be "tried and fined HEAVILY; $500 or 50 Hours of Community Service". This proves us that, in CWCville, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution does not apply in matters of personal sexual choices. This might put him at odds with his own sexual ideals...

In a strange set of double standards, Chris has been shown to injure, kill, or damage people and property outside of CWCVille. Sonichu 10 has shown no less than three grievous acts upon others: the destruction of the 4-cent_garbage building, the death of over 100 trolls in said destruction, breaking and entering Alec Benson Leary's house, and destroying internet files and property. Even worse, those who have wronged Chris are NOT given the chance to defend themselves, given a high-off-his-ass lawyer to Alec, Mao, Sean and Evan in their trial over the death of Simonla. When they're found guilty, they're killed by the people they've wronged!
