Much like Fisk himself even before he became mayor.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who missed Val was on the other end of that call. 
I kind of agree it's looney tunes that Fisk can essentially operate NYC as a police state in defiance of the constitutional rights of citizens and state and federal authority. That said, given we know he has the support of de Fontaine, there's at least a plausible explanation as to why it's happening.
