I couldn't agree more Victoria is another example that's where I first noticed the hypocrisy Yes, the abduction and torture of the school principal, a muggle who didn't even know about the supernatural. She went after him purely to create a job vacancy for Gerard to take over the school. But since he was neither supernatural himself, nor involved in it in any way, Victoria's actions were a collection of straightforward human law felonies. She and the others were committing a crime! That's before you even factor in the moral ramifications of their apparent attitude of "acceptable casualties" in their war on weres.

The hunters tend to act as if they are above the law. But they have no justification for that position, since they could easily prove to the proper authorities that the threats they are supposedly protecting humanity from are real. They simply choose not to do so because authorities (like Scott's father) would probably then tell them stop being vigilantes and breaking the law or else get thrown in jail. Then their hunting hobby would taken away from them and they wouldn't be allowed to kill for kicks anymore.
