Jedi aren't paladins. They're permitted to lie, cheat, and steal at times. They don't have to be scrupulously honest. They don't have to follow the law all the time.
Ding dong....we have a winner. They aren't Paladins. The concept of a law other than the Force directing their actions goes against the philosophy they stand for.
We freedom loving beings that we are may not like this but it was apparently the way it worked.
It is also institutional arrogance, and not the first case we see in the movie.
