What sort of legal system exists in Equestria?

Since there's a princess that runs Equestria, I'm guessing she makes the laws as she sees fit. Although from what I can guess they put for stock in rehabilitation over retribution, or in simple terms, help them become good instead of locking them up...with a few notable exceptions

I think there are 4 options:

To the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Turned to stone

Imprisoned, like how Twilight said it in Season 1 Episode 22: A Bird in the hoof

Or pardoned but reprimanded.


"Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works"

I would love to learn how to shuffle. Just like this

sorry about the wall of text but it was kinda necessary

 

i believe that there legal system functions like the US legal system (with some minor changes) in which a problem is reported to a socially authorized party (in big city's it would be the guard, in small towns it would be a sheriff or someone who the mayor has deemed responsible for enforcing the laws) they then handle the investigation (if needed) it will the go onto the court system for the ruling. the punishments are usually restitutive (community service or paying a fine) and in some extreme cases there will be jail time. there legal system is more restitutive rather than repressive (imprisonment) mostly because the most common crime would probably be disorderly conduct. so if you are loud and obnoxious then you will just have to pay a couple bits, if you steal you will probably have to go to jail for a while or community service, and if you commit a violent crime... well that's what the moon cannons for. on an unrelated note everyone should take a basic intro level CJ or law class that way you know more about laws.

I would say communist.

 

Celestia rules every tiny bit of everything.

 

That's not communism at all. That's totalitarianism, communism is the most democratic politic system there is, the people vote on EVERYTHING. Which is why no country has ever been actually communist, though they call themselves it.

Banishment, imprisonment, imprisonment in the place you were banished to.

 

Or, you know, a life lesson. Like when Fluttershy birdnapped Philomena.

I imagine that, for relatively small crimes, it's similar to what we have in the US. Fines for petty crimes, community service for the slightly more severe, and jail (dungeon) time for the highly illegal.

 

Our life sentences and death penalties are replaced with banishment to the Everfree Forest and the Moon, respectively.


That's really all there is to say on the matter.
