Chris and the law
Chris has had several run-ins with the law.
Law troubles
- On 20 July 2005, Chris was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing[1] for stalking women at the mall and being a total tard, as depicted in Sub-Episode 1. After two hearings,[1][2] he was not punished.
- On 28 July 2005, Chris followed a car too closely. This went to court on 12 September.[1] He was fined $30 and had to pay $56 in costs.
Chris's original and official laws
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 one of his the only of his supposed series of Q&A videos.
Repealed!
In his Rollin' and Trollin' video Chris announces that the CWCville prohibition has been repealed, and the first bar is opening up soon.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
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 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[citation needed].
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.
His understanding of copyright law is best explained in the Parody article.
In addition, Chris has very little respect for those who enforce the law as well.

| 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.
