Here's my view on this. Glad you asked! lolol
It doesn't matter what cloak these agents are wearing or what their man-made laws say. They do not get a free pass to behave like this, because in the end, they will be accountable before Almighty God, and scripture says so.
Their fruits are not of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:13-14.
I know you're not a scripture guy, but I'm illustrating that even God's Word addresses what you brought up. :-)
