It makes them valuable to me Vinny. It's true, that this value only extends to those who agree on it (though some things..like food and water clearly have objective values...the precise "weight", if you will, of that value is still a matter of how many people agree). Similarly, the strength of a law is in direct proportion to who agrees with it.
People can and do reject "moral codes" (here we go conflating legality with morality..it was bound to happen, I'll run with it). All the time. If writing a law stopped crime there would be no criminals in the world..... Why does that leave me in a position where I cannot enforce a law? Massive non-sequitur bud. It isn't my individual valuation that enforces the law to begin with, nor do I positively value all laws, so how my individual values (or those of any other individual) would invalidate the enforcement of law is a mystery.
