This might be a little personal, Crazyabe, but on most rounds I've seen you, you tend to be a twitchy, trigger-happy captain with a tendency to e.g. wordlessly open fire on (as far as we know) random people in the shuttle, followed by griping either here or in post-round ooc about how people should mind their own business and not stand in the way of OBVIOUS JUSTICE. Your experience with sec might be somewhat different from the average person's, as a result.
Though it does bring up a point: a pretty common misconception is that vigilantes are much more efficient at antag-hunting than sec, because sec officers have to deal with space law, brigging and all that jazz, whereas a vigilante can just murder anyone who looks at them funny and then apologize if it was unwarranted. The trade-off is supposed to be that sec comes down on these people as hard as actual antags, but it doesn't work when the station sides with the vigilante to the point that everyone would rather be a vigilante than a sec officer.
