Max,

A very good point.

How far will a chapter or IFC type of organization or even a national organization go to enforce rules? How far should they go? Where is the line when you cross from local administration to legal authorities?

I believe the reason we started seeing these state (and now possibly national) laws is precisely because we didn't or couldn't enforce the rules ourselves.

And, as I think Max points out, it isn't the job of anyone except the legal authorities and court system to handle penalities for things like assault, DUI, drunkeness, theft, property damage, etc.
