I recently learned that Matthew Murdock was arrested and jailed awaiting trial. NYPD said it was for the crimes committed by Daredevil. But it left me with a question…

Why?

Why was he arrested? He’s far from the only hero who had committed these crimes in the name of the greater good. Hell, his aren’t even the worst crimes. Assault, attempted murder (this one I question).

Other heroes whose identities have been public for a hell of a long time have outright murdered people, caused untold damage, and so much more.

Now I’m not in favour of any of them being arrested either as I think their actions caused more good than bad. I just don’t get the double standards as to why Matthew Murdock was arrested but, say Tony Stark, wasn’t? And it’s not like it’s because he didn’t register with the UN. The Sokovia Accords were scrapped years ago.
