The federal and state constitutions still apply in these new areas, should they form, and the state and federal criminal codes still apply as well.
So on criminal matters, we're talking about enforcement more than the law itself.
Given local law enforcement's history of asset forfeiture, corruption and biased enforcement, I'm not sure this new model automatically means people would be swapping out angels for demons.

Such abuse happens today and would happen with company governments to (except with companies, anything against company interests instead of political party/politician interests would be the model).
