In the comic-book time-line, Law & Order worked originally for the Houston Police Department before deciding to enlist - I'm not so sure he should have been able to take Order with him - because he wanted more fulfillment. They became a Military Police K-9 unit and trained with the Airborne - the modern American Military uses K-9 units in active combat roles as well, a K-9 unit was included in the SEAL team that took down Osama Bin-Laden..
Law would rise to become head of security for the G.I. Joe team.



As a result, most people don't like this particular figure. Among the controversies are:
- He wears a Military Police Brassard, but in the Renegades series, he's non-military.
- He's a prison guard, yet he carries a holstered pistol that's slightly towards his rear instead of his side. Something that a prisoner standing behind him could easily draw. Modern prisons of the day limit the deadly weapons worn or brought by guards because they can be overpowered.
- He's a prison guard: What's he doing with a silencer? Who's he going to use that on and should we be afraid that the prison system now gives guards the ability to dispose of prisoners silently?
- Why would a prison guard dog need travel pouches?

There's also a debate as to whether Military-Police have, or should even be wearing, badges akin to the ones worn by non-Military Police. Well the answer is, they do have badges just like police, but they do not usually wear them unless it's a Dress-occasion. But this rule seems to differ per US Military Branch. Some groups, like the Airborne - where Law is qualified, allow badges on their Battle Dress Uniforms - though these badges often ended up lost.
What's to like about G.I. Joe Renegades Law & Order?

Combine those accessories with Law's modern wrist articulation and you have a wonderful figure with incredible pose-ability:

But to be fair they did give him nicer accessories and they got rid of Duke's really creepy looking head in favor of a new head - Though I have a feeling I've seen this head before (I just can't remember where).
Another really disappointing thing about Law & Order is Order. I love how he's not a naked dog and that they gave him the modern military harness to carry equipment on him, however he only has one piece of articulation - his head - they could have let him do more.

Law & Order is available on Amazon for US$ 14.99 (Roughly PhP 650 plus shipping). This particular Law & Order was purchased on the black-market here in the Philippines as part of a set of four for PhP 800 (Roughly US$ 18).
