While the city and militia itself may have a certain alignment, not all laws match the will of the people or the state. Sometimes it just takes a handful of a very vocal minority exacting political pressure at just the right points to effect massive change that the populace would otherwise be opposed to. Take prohibition (1920-33) for example, which was largely the result of female religious zealots, who just then earned the right to vote (1920). While this small group made up but a fraction of the population, the fervor over being able to vote for the first time led to them storming the ballot boxes and banning all alcohol in the US, whereas the men of all demographics who could vote were lazy and chose not to at the time. Without sheer force of numbers or mandate of the masses, a minority group in politics may still effect large amounts of change in government if all of their members are dedicated enough to turn out in full force.Then there is also political corruption where members of the state are subverted by political contributions, lobbying or outright dissonance with the voting populace. NOBODY votes for tax cuts for oil companies, yet they recieve them just the same, despite the will of the people. All it takes is a briefcase full of Hamiltons and suddenly the elected delegate of an area is totally misalligned with his constituancy. Then sometimes in autocratic situations, a powerful individual in government has a change in management and the policies of a nation state totally go against thee grain of the people or even the very spirit of those who founded the government. Like say, when the son of the director of the CIA takes over, and suddenly a nation which used to be the strongest supporter of the Geneva Conventions starts claiming that drowning somebody to the brink of death and bringing them back again is no longer considered torture. The people are still the same, most of the government is still the same, but suddenly the man on the obsidian throne decides to go on a slash and burn crusade all over the world. Does the nation automatically lose its CG status when a LE leader is behind the curtain?So the laws of Hempstead may very well be against the grain of the city, its people, its government and all other things which relate to the city's alignment, yet one political force pervading that system may be responsible for the recent changes. No doubt some racist moralist theocratic organization has infiltraded the government of Hempstead, some noble in the right place managed to grease the right palms, and bought the laws he wanted for the city. This one change in policy does not necessarily need reflect the wishes or aims of the people or the establishment, nor should either be judged as a whole for one law which only recently was passed. Bear in mind that few people have the opportunity to effect political change in a feudalistic environment, so this law may have been the result of but a single local lord or rofirienite magistrate.Also bear in mind that city alignments shift too, and the entry for Hempstead in which we reference its alignment was written prior to the law being passed and enforced.
