Ah, and where do you draw the line? Who is dangerous? A mutant who embezzles a couple of millions without using their mutation at all, who just happens to be born with super strength? A mind reader using their knowledge for extortion? A teenager losing control of their fire powers and accidentally killing a friend?
If there is no longer any proper law, and who should live or die is decided on a case-by-case basis... I've lived in a society like that, and it was a fascist dictatorship, do you see? In the end, just being potentially dangerous will be enough, and people will start disappearing at night. And every time there is a crime, people will just look for the nearest mutant to blame, because it's much easier to let one take the blame, when they are guilty by definition and not entitled to trials. How handy! I'm sure it will save some money for the tax payers, yes?
[He shakes his head, but the look he gives Eren is actually full of sympathy.] Your arguments don't hold up, darling. But it doesn't matter, does it? You were told... oh, let's see... to only trust the people where you came from, to never listen to anyone from the outside because they would twist the truth to sway you. You were taught code words no one outside would understand. You were isolated from the rest of the world, taught to think of everyone you didn't know as a potential threat or spy. The longer you stayed, the more "secret" information about conspiracies and evil mutants they would allow you to know. How am I doing?
