According to issue one, they're after Buffy because they think she's a terrorist. (Blowing up a whole town) They'd never in a million years be able to prove that, and also I'm sure it was Twilight who told them that. Bankrobbery however they *can* prove.
In S7, she mentioned that she's the law, human rules don't apply. It's a clear foreshadow to S8. Oh no, it's a callback to S3 and Faith - and also to the fact that she shoulders a responsibility *outside* the law. If Anya had been human still, Buffy would have let the police deal with her (like Warren in S6).
His characters don't act as we wish them to, there were out-of-character moments during the show, at least to me, but I sucked it up in the end. See the problem for me is that I've stopped caring about them in s8. The *story* is neat - well told (by now), well plotted etc - and I want to know what happens next. But I never watched Buffy because of the story, I watched because of the characters and how they story affected them. Like... oh say the AR. Getting Spike to go off and get his soul back could probably have been done in lots of different ways, it was the outcome that mattered. But with s8 I am curious about the story, not about how it will affect the characters. Will Xander betray Buffy? Maybe, maybe not. The fact that this is one of her oldest and most trustworthy friends really doesn't move me at all - it's a puzzle, a riddle, not a heart wrenching dilemma.
