I think it's as simple as that, it's just another tool of government.
Then armed with that information you should be able to move past it. Are you gonna go on then and live without morals? The fact that they would need police in the first place goes to show that they themselves have ideas of right and wrong. If the daughter of a man is raped he may feel justified in killing that man. However if he does the government will still throw him in jail. Your explanation is FAR too simple and vague.
