Aren't those wesen who've made the commitment to live by US federal and state laws being betrayed by a man who "makes it up as he goes along"?

I think the Naiads were treated terribly even if they were suspected of a crime. The law should protect them against torture but the laws don't apply to Naiads. The law doesn't even know that it would be torture. They apply to everyone whose lives aren't at risk if they're in lockup.
Any cop who suspected a Naiad of a crime and had good reasons to bring them in wouldn't be breaking any laws. They would just be doing their job. I don't think Naiads would be very appreciative of them just doing their job because it would lead to an agonizing death.
I think your question applies to wesen who live their lives peacefully and don't get in trouble with the law. I'm worried about the ones who do even if they're criminals. I just don't think there's a clear solution for it all. Nick just happens to be the Grimm that has to deal with them. It would be tough for anyone to decide what to do. I don't believe everything Nick does is right but not everything he does is wrong either. This is one of the few areas of the show that can get me to think about things in the grey area. It has more to do with the concept itself than the way it's written on the show.
