Even if Light could somehow capture them and deliver them to a human court, the human prisons can't hold them, and the humans can't get justice under their own power. The native races the criminals come from also make it public policy that the hate crimes ''are not seen as crimes at all''. As such, Light has no choice but to judge them himself, and the consequences are always brutal and graphic.

** 71-Hour Ahmed fromthe ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' book ''Literature/{{Jingo}}''. While Vimes criticizes his methods (he earned his nickname violating SacredHospitality in pursuit of a mass murderer and kidnapped a member of the Watch to draw Vimes' attention to the true perpetrators of the case at hand), Ahmed mentions to Vimes that their situations are different. His beat is a city that you can walk in half an hour; Ahmed's beat contains two million square miles of desert and mountain where he is alone against bandits and murderers and thus must inspire dread by striking fast once since he won't get a second chance. Vimes eventually relents that the two of them simply has different views on how justice should be served.
** Death often refers to something in this direction("THERE ("[[AC:THERE IS NO JUSTICE. THERE IS ONLY ME."), ]]"), although he strictly upholds the "law" of only "taking lives" and not ending them, thus being an aversion. He has also, over the course of his books, become quite compassionate. "WHAT [[AC:"WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR IF NOT THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?"MAN?"]]

Of course there is a very good reason we don't have this type of law enforcement in civilization; If the Judges see themselves as noble and pure then they will most likely be [[KnightTemplar Knight Templars]], if they are insane they would often see [[AllCrimesAreEqual all crimes are punishable by death]], if they become corrupt then not only would they become [[DirtyCop Dirty Cops]] but would in turn become a JokerJury and a HangingJudge all in one go, and that's all assuming they don't [[ItsPersonal have a grudge on you]].
