Have is the word you want to use.
It should read "Individuals, such as yourself, have departed too far from the principal of law."

regrettably i don't comprehend my grammar lingo nicely sufficient to nicely known whether it extremely is "grammatically" or "situationally" undesirable. even inspite of the undeniable fact that it extremely is unquestionably incorrect, and right it is a trick to objective good vs. incorrect: replace the order of the two words: She had a history in banking, in contrast to various the applicants. vs. She had a history in banking, distinctive from various the applicants. This 'outs' selection D as being extra needless to say incorrect. hence the 2nd sentence is in simple terms approximately English, yet with an entire new meaning. even inspite of the undeniable fact that i don't comprehend my grammar words, i'm able to continually comprehend undesirable grammar via changing the order of the sentence in some way.

individuals have departed too far from the law
individuals [insert anything relevant and explanatory] have departed too far from the law
Refer the verb to the doer, which is the individuals (including the addressee) but it's not just him doing the departing, it's all individuals.
So it's have.

"Have." Because you use the word "yourselves" which is plural, so "have" would be correct.
If you had said, "individual such as yourself," then it would have been has.
