While some may call his methods draconian, Nova Praetoria is definitely a utopia for its residents.
Cole does not define societal norms; society does. Cole enforces the law of Nova Praetoria. Law and societal norms are two different things. In most areas, "obey the law" is a large societal norm (though in some countries around our world... urgh), but many norms have nothing to do with the law, and as long as the resident's aren't violating Cole's laws, nothing happens to them.

I said "Nova Praetoria is definitely a utopia for its residents."
Being a former resident doesn't entitle you to utopia

The residents of Nova Praetoria have both freedom and free will. They may not enjoy the results of what they do, but neither would I enjoy the results of jumping off a tall building.

By that logic, neither do you, or I, or anyone on the planet, or any sentient being in the universe.

No it doesn't. They send their stupid costumed cretins every time I try to make a withdrawal from a bank.

Nonsense, who would do such a thing. But they keep telling me that my bank card is locked, so I can sometimes get a little frustrated.

Silliness. That didn't stop all the other subprime loans of the past century.
