<shrug> If there are "civil rights laws" that impact on what Superman usually does these days, I'm unaware of them. Superman (and by that I mean mainstream comic book Superman) is not a cop or government agent. He doesn't extract confessions, doesn't hospitalize criminals, doesn't break into private residences or even businesses except when someone is about to die, doesn't provide evidence to the authorities except incidentally, and doesn't interfere with people voting. The truth is under the law you can get away with a hell of a lot if people will die if you don't act.
