This was analogous to an Officer of the Peace coming to collect a debt to society from YOU. We are not talking about an Officer threatening to kill you.

No, not really. The important difference is that this "debt" was created by the government. It similar to me deciding that you owe me $1000 and than trying to collect the debt.
