I certainly don't know if it's a majority, but in both Eston, Atamara 
and Ibladesh, East Continent, people are fined for arresting adventurers 
without just cause. In Eston, part of the fine is supposed to go to 
restitution of the adventurer (1 gold per day in jail).

I cannot tell you how offensive my characters found this, and they 
cerainly weren't alone. Lately, when I see a report about police work 
done in which 'suspicious peasants' are arrested, I like to request that 
the justification be provided. :-)

Yes, adventurers serve a useful purpose to your realm, but they're still 
peasants. Remember this, people. Some day the rest of the island will 
hear that you're giving commoners rights and if there's any justice, 
they will not put up with this insult to nobility in general
