I've given up multiple times playing a Brass Blade just due to the fact that many adventurers just theatened to beat the living snot out of him for trying to enforce the law.

I have found the trick is to talk to them OOC, and make sure they're cool with the idea of them getting hauled off or chased away.
If they want to beat up my brass blade just to be cool I stay away, unless we have some sort of prior arrangement.
If they don't want consequences for their inately illegal activities in the middle of a public place, they should be doing it.
Why would you be advertising you sell illegal narcotics in a public sqaure? Especially next to the NPC brassblades. If I use the logic 'they arent played therefore they don't matter'
Should I also ignore:
The Sulatana
99% of the MSQ
Momodi etc?
You can say that, but they are under no obligation to accept your authority as Law Enforcement. Public RP is a complicated beast, and a little OOC communication is good to put everyone on the same page.
If someone OOCly doesn't want to get arrested or confronted by the Blades, It's better to just find out beforehand.
Edit: You're allowed to ignore what you'd like, and so are other players. That's the nature of us as being a group of individuals with individual opinions.
