It’s hypocrisy no matter what in my opinion, Shepard is a Spectre in ME1 and their investigation is as a Spectre not an Alliance mission. Plus even a Paragon does plenty of taking the law into their own hands constantly.
What is and isn’t justified is up to Shepard, which means it’s no different except that Shepard is “allowed” because he’s a Spectre and Garrus is allowed because he has the power to do so in a location with no written laws.

I wasn’t arguing against your point - I was agreeing with you. Sorry if that came off wrong.
