It’s more likely than not that a lot of the corrupt police officers in Hell’s Kitchen benefited from Fisk paying them off to work for him. And that not all of them would have been rooted out in the station purge at the end of season 1. So if they didn’t have a problem with Daredevil before, they definitely have one now. And they’re looking to settle it the old fashioned way (or alternatively, get enough evidence on him/frame him with enough of the damage to Hell’s Kitchen that it could discredit Fisk’s trial). Trouble is, no one can find him.
Good thing that that small legal firm that pretty much worked with Daredevil to get Hoffman is still around. Maybe it’s time to ask them a few questions. And if they get hurt in police custody, well, they can just claim it was self-defence. No one’s going to believe otherwise. They decide to grab Nelson. They figure the secretary won’t be high up enough to know anything useful, and that even if the blind one is in on it, they’ll save him as a backup because they’d rather information that might tell them who Daredevil is, and visual clues would be really helpful. So they arrest him on some trumped up charges, and get him in one of the interview rooms.
They’ve got 24 hours before they are legally required to release him. That should be long enough to get all the answers they need.
+ Brett doesn’t find out till later and is horrified, OR finds out mid-interrogation and almost loses his job trying to protect Foggy. ++ Matt turns up at the precinct, furious because Foggy is permitted a phone call and legal consultation and he’s been given neither. He gets even more furious when he can hear what they’re asking Foggy through the walls. +++ Foggy cites his right to remain silent and proceeds to tell the corrupt officers nothing about whatever he may or may not know about Daredevil.
