Well, Kharon, as an old member of RM you should know the laws and that there is a list of them in I believe two locations, only one the entire public has an easy time accessing admittedly. However, unless you were the one looking the other way, I don't see what your problem is.
Law enforcement isn't even the RM's job, just an extra task they dabble in from time to time when the RFP has activity droughts, it's still their responsibility first and foremost. If you've an issue with RM enforcing the law, make an RFP ship and be active with it, believe me, [RM] will happily back off.
If you've a problem with RM's leadership, be specific rather than making half-hearted claims which I believe come more from a grudge than actual justification, which is why I'd be nothing but eager to hear it.
Yes, most of the time the [RM] enforces their laws very strictly. Its military is known for disciplined and being hard-nosed. It's not that some people get special treatment for being liked, but some do earn it for being disliked, from time to time, what can I say? As for the indy bit, those who can behave are generally in factions, right
