They're only above the law, as long as they have a writ to execute that specific person. If they don't, then they just committed murder and could be thrown in jail or put to death. In addition, they were only really allowed to kill dunmer nobles, paid by dunmer nobles, no one else. Of course there were "grey writs" which was the MT's way of saying "screw the rules, I'll just make up a half-assed justification...maybe."
And Alexandur, whoops, misread Brothers of Darkness. Okay, so they're just as fanatical, but they don't only worship Sithis; that seems to be the Cyrodiilic chapter's thing. The ones in DF worship Melphala, and the one in MW...isn't talked about. Also, the only differences between the DB and MT is that the DB will work for anyone and anyone, and the MT had legal sanction in MW.
