I mean, who's going to come after you and arrest you in orbit? ISS could declare a mutiny right now and NASA would be powerless until they ran out of supplies.

That happened in a British colony once, the mutiny got totally out of hand.

Actually, that may have happened a bunch of times with British colonies...
