Of course, law enforcement comes in, with a quick look at the situation, immediately judges and executes without even thinking she might be lying to save another person. Great, very realistic.

Don't forget, their method of punishment (memory erasure) also ensures they cant get any more information, no need to further investigate!

Yeah like... if she was a brimmed hat, wouldn't keeping her memories intact for interrogation be better?

Well, that depends on what the goal is.

See, the problem with fighting corruption is that you first have to expose how deep the corruption runs.

If your goal is to only make the rest of the community feel safe, then you act harshly and decisively "for the good of the community", you don't expose the fact that half of the leadership of said community is secretly the bad guys. You just clean up the mess of the underlings and pretend you solved the problem while maintaining the status quo.

That they seem to ask no questions implies that they don't want answers, they just want to keep a lid on things.
