Absolutely--I mean, what is the justification in some of those cases? With Obi-wan in the first movie, it was the equivalent of an invisibility cloak. Same with Luke, where he had the guards bring him inside. (Also by those movies the Jedi aren't law enforcement.) But there's something innately disturbing and dehumanizing about tricking someone into doing something against their own best interests, especially when there's that hint that the person deserves it, like this is related to law enforcement.
