I was thinking the other day that if the government is aware of wesen and Grimm, it would be better to pass certain laws that will allow them to enlist Grimms as police officers and their training would utilise their natural gifts as hunters but weave them into the law enforcement system and curb the killing without discrimination, make them into a division within the system that deals with wesen cases accordingly but within the confines of the law.
I don't know how they'd implement it at the beginning but I would hope that with the wesen world becoming less enshrouded as a the years go by, the governments would want to get ahead of the eventual reveal of this underground world and be prepared to deal with the chaos that will no doubt ensue. This was radical groups like black claw are dealt with but not in a clandestine way that could have backfired on them. I like Nick going at it alone but Grimms need a system of control as much as the wesen had the council. It wouldn't be so bad if this happened between Grimms and their government. They already function as protectors, all their need is to take it further by sanctioning it but with strict guidelines so Grimms don't go rouge and murder people and those who do are dealt with accordingly.

I sincerely think not, nor do I feel that way.I think there are, several in this forum. I understand where they are coming from but generally I don't think the average viewers cares all that much about Nick or any other protagonists in a TV show pissing all over the laws they swore to uphold. The show is framed around Nick being the hero even when he makes a mistake or deliberately breaks the law, viewers are only expected to see his actions as necessary in the greater fight for good. I would have loved to see the removal of the veil between kehrseite and wesen and had Grimms take their place in maintaining order, not in a Gestapo/SS way or in keeping with their strict tradition of killing but to be true protectors of kehrseite as well as wesen from those people (from both camps) who are a threat to them.
