Wouldn't be surprised if the exception is something as simple as being a NEED to them, or having something they want. Similar to real life where like super hackers can get a pass if they use their skills to find bigger threats. Or how police tend to use certain street criminals (known as snitches) to rat out the bigger fish.
These criminals might have earned their title as criminal with some kind of skill, and the government just found it useful. I know if I wanted to use a program like this, and didn't feel like having to deal with Cops hesitating like our MC did, I'd use someone who has no problem pulling trigger.
