To an extent, yes. For instance, we've seen a few times that there are citizenship provisions for certain classes of sapient undead. It's not illegal to be a vampire qua being-a-vampire in New Avalon, for instance. Assault, yes, unauthorized exsanguination, mind control, murder, that crap's illegal, but that's illegal for everybody. Those jagoffs who took after Marcy in Night of the Kissogram! would've found themselves explaining their shit to the NAPD tout de suite. You can't just rock up in your blacked-out minivan and jack up some random singer outside Coffee Kingdom just 'cause she happens to be a half-demonic creature of darkness. They've got rights, goddammit. We have a thing called due process in this town. :)
