Hello! I'm a detective player that plays pretty much on low-activity hours, because of timezones.
I think it is lack of information that leads to misconception.
For one example. .38 stunners are the exact same as taser shots - 1:1, stam damage and debuffs included - you just don't notice it, because secoffs finish up with a baton, and not firing the taser further - detectives don't have the liberty of having a stunbaton, usually.
Secondly, regarding their access or power - What would stop detective from ditching the stunners, taking lethals, and just putting a whole belt full of tasers? It would already work quite well, considering how easy it is to get to them.
Thermals, for example - take any generic 30pop round with no HoS. What kind of 'counterplay' there is past getting borgs to point at them constantly?
For other points, I think Gerhazo hit the nail on the head.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure det's aren't treated as secoffs. From my experience, people not trusting detectives is pretty much a given.
