If you were asked to come up with the most rules-obsessed sci-fi film and television franchise ever, chances are pretty good that you would land on "Star Trek." The many series under the "Trek" umbrella are packed full of folks walking around in Starfleet uniforms, quoting regulations, and referencing alien law. Now, at least half the time rules are referenced they're broken within 20 minutes at the most. But those rules are there nonetheless.
Many of the laws referenced in "Star Trek" are normal enough — murder is still bad in the 24th century, generally speaking — but some will undoubtedly make you pause. Buried deep within the handbooks of Starfleet are regulations that seek to govern personnel's personal lives, demand that some ships self-destruct, and even occasionally give captains the ability to sacrifice crew members and blast clean entire planets. Even time travel gets involved. These are some of the most bizarre laws in the "Star Trek" universe explained.
