But isn't it the character who crosses the line? What would comparing the way of telling the stories have to do with that?
I was tring to say that in the past the line of good and bad where better defined and characters where really good or really bad... Nowadays, not only in grimm, but in other stories too, the difference between the good and the bad is not well definide anymore. And of course this impacts the characters, theis decisions and the way they act. Just it.

Again, what is the difference? Why has Batman the right to define his own code? Money?
Only the policeman must follow the law? The others cittizens doesn't? Aren't batman a cittizen just like anyone else?
Supposedly the theory of law enforcement is fidelity to the rule of law, which leads to justice, but not justice as it is colloquially understood. The theory of justice in law enforcement is about the idea it is better to let 10 guilty men go free rather than convict an innocent man. That is what our (U.S. system) of justice is predicated upon. People get confused and think the term justice applies to those wronged and ancillary parties; it does not. It applies to the accused. That is in part why there is such a disconnect in our general society when they hear of cases. And why the trial by media is so egregious.
Which is to say, in all honesty, Nick should resign. The way he is conducting himself he has no business being a police officer. But in reality, this type of stuff (minus the wesen) goes on everyday. And it is just not the police, but the judges and lawyers trading political aspirations for convictions and bribes.
But that resignation would only come if Nick actually cared about what his job really means and it is obvious he does not subscribe to the public trust ideal.
