No, I'm pointing out that it wouldn't be easy to arrest him even if they were OP. Because Lantz would refuse to allow Suetoshi to be arrested. Like he is now. It won't be easy for them to arrest them, but it shouldn't be impossible either, like you seem to be implying they are.
I never said it should be impossible, but I wouldn't expect Inferno Cop to be able to do it alone (although Rider will be a bit busy with Angra I think...).
And they aren't arbitrary or pointless laws; a majority of laws are put in place to protect the general populace.
They are when applied to people like Sakura and Rider, who are not normal people.
And yes I HAVE read FSN and the mindmemory thing is treated as being rather sketchy as shit. Which it should be. Fucking with someone's mind is akin to overwriting bits of who they are. It's not a power to pull out lightly, if at all. You're basically altering who they are.
It is treated as somewhat sketchy, yes, but it's also made abundantly clear that even good magi do it on a reasonably regular basis. The problem is that the only alternative is to kill the person in question, which is
worse.
I doubt they would particularly like doing it, but they would rather do it than endanger someone's life, and they also put each other first, so if one of them is threatened and the only way to deal with that is mind-wiping the police or whoever then they will do so.
I find it funny that Mike brought up Inferno Cop's powerlevel as a cop and status as a joke character and how him beating up Satoshi (who is high on the nasuverse powerscale, I guess) would make him OP despite his universe's powerscale being far different and with him on top rather like some other characters in the RP like especially the bleach crowd, and yet...
Well, the thing is that this is only one universe right now, so the power level of the RP as a whole is what matters. Bringing in characters that are way above everyone else and cannot be stopped is a problem, particularly if they start enforcing their will on others.
We're not even fighting. The fact Inferno Cop is the strongest idiot (emphasis on this word) in nexus city and could wreck everyone if he grew a brain is not in play right now, and even if it is it's only on a hypothetical level. We haven't escalated to violence, Lantz hasn't made Satoshi start resisting arrest, Inferno Cop hasn't even brought up arrest, and Inferno Cop isn't going to shoot up everything nearby and kill everyone like he has in the past because a T-shirt salesman told him his shirts were "limitied edition".
This entire argument is jumping the gun like crazy.
Yeah, I guess.
I suppose I'm taking a longer-term view on this, and adding in my usual anarchistic approach to everything....
You acted in thread and blatantly said 'Oh he'll believe me, because he's a retard.'
That was Lantz's/Satoshi's opinion, though, not a statement of what actually will happen.
