Incidentally I think this is was a mistake. This is a new sort of limitation, not a variation on Cannot Harm Innocents. Innocent in this, and a few other legalistic contexts, retains its original meaning. It's the antonym of noxious, not of evil. Or guilty for that matter. And it certainly doesn't mean uninvolved, which is another way people sometimes misread CHI.
CHI is essentially a superset of Self Defense Only, one allowing force to defend not just yourself but others as well. It doesn't allow you to use force against people who are not an actual threat, regardless of their crimes. Conversely it does allow you to use force against people who are trying to harm you even if they are saints, hence the bit about it being OK to fight off law enforcement in places the law really is seeking to harm you.
