The phrase you're looking for is "due process," not "habeas corpus." Habeas corpus is a specific legal instrument after the police has someone in custody. The key in habeas corpus is that the police must have custody, and no sane legal system would consider a completely unfettered suspect who is sitting in the middle of several containers of gasoline with a lighter in hand to be in custody.

I have already addressed the issue of why the police must have the authority to kill people under certain situations. The only debate--and what Psycho Pass might illuminate--is the limit of those certain situations.

There is no question that Masaoka aggravated the victim's mental state by pointing the dominator at her.

There is equally no question that the situation would have stopped without reaching the lethal stage had anybody on the scene shot her immediately.

But neither is particularly important in determining whether the situation called for Masaoka to disable the victim.
