Default Psychic Assassins

So, I was wondering how you handle powered PCs going over the rail, so to speak, and using their powers for assassinations? While the obvious nature of most attack powers would shut down a rogue PC pretty quickly, the problem with PCs who are psychic assassins is that many of their powers are undetectable, as they are either mental abilities or physical attacks with No Signature.

For example, a PC telepath could use Illusion to make a police officer think that their target had drawn a gun and was threatening them. With the Stigmata enhancement, they could even have the police officer be 'shot' for real damage, meaning that the police officer would respond with deadly force against the assassination target. They could even have the target appear to be a wanted felon, such as a known killer, to further encourage the police officer to act with deadly force.
