Er, since when are Inquisitors encouraged to act within local laws? Some might do that, but they are under no obligation whatsoever to adhere to anyone's rules but their own. They are totally beyond the law.GenericAmerican said:How would you feel if say, something/someone like Inquisitors from W40k existed?
If you don't know anything about 40k, it's basically an Investigator who is sanctioned by the government. He is encouraged to work within local laws but has the authority to conduct his investigation in whatever way he feels best, and is allowed access to whatever local or government resources he feels necessary.
In context, they are forever using extreme measures because of the extreme circumstances. If they aren't resorting to mass murder, they don't really fit the bill (on the other hand, unless LA is overrun by aliens or daemons, it doesn't work either).
