"More of a set of guidelines" Kirk and Picard in unison with a chorus of "Exactly" from every other Federation Officer or Official except any featured in anything involving a speech about the prime directive by that episode's primary cast.

Any good captain knows that’s a rule worth breaking. If your options are: a) save a whole planet of people or b) keep your fancy status job in a post-scarcity economy, then you know it’s morally worth it to get court marshalled.

And those examples would involve a speech about the Prime would they not?

Besides, federation prison is just a sunny beach on New Zealand anyway. The worst part is getting stuck in the delta quadrant but that happened like one time.

I didn’t remember what their prison is, but that makes the choice so much easier. Was that in Voyager?

Yeah, it’s been awhile, but iirc in the first episode Janeway springs Paris from a prison in new zealand because she needs a pilot.
