Thanks. You know, after all these years, these episode can still surprise me for its idiocy. The writers came up with a very stupid legal system so our heroes can proudly say: "You have a very stupid legal system. But we are so better than you that we respect and obey it....

pretty much-it's the kind of legal system that would only be used in fiction to illustrate a point, it makes no sense from any other perspective.
