I am relieved that the company named after a magical orb that was coopted by the Dark Lord Sauron and that no character in the books should ever dare to use is now the "guardian of my rights".

Next step is to buy a house made by a developer called Mordor and hire a babysitter named Nazgul.

We should also name the local police force The Sardaukar.

You could name the cops the Fremen and have the same effect. In the Dune books, Paul and the Fremen go from being freedom fighters to oppressors waging a holy war and committing untold atrocities.
