The action is to take by force or threat of force.

Tim, laws are enforceable by force or threat of force. That's why they call it en-force-ment. I'll bet you don't have a problem when the cops use force or threat of force to rescue someone from being raped. Or to cuff and carry off the perp. Because you approve of that law. If the law is legit, then the authorities use force if necessary to assure compliance. It doesn't matter if you or I approve of the law or not. We get input into whether or not a law is desirable through our representatives during the legislative process, not the enforcement process. At the enforcement end, the use of force is not related to whether or not it's a wise law.
