If you, as a random individual decide to interfere with the justice system, and interfere with an lawfully, without any knowledge of the situation, you're liable for assisting their escape. So, if you're deciding to interfere with the capture of a Mutineer, you are assisting him, as such, you're a criminal.
The marine law system is left intentionally flexible due to the fact that this is a role play server, we cannot have the intensely complex nature of real law instated in to a game. It didn't work in the past when we had it, it won't work now.
This dumbed down system isn't flawless, but neither is every single justice system in reality.
