As a half-aside, I got the impression that, aside for some formalia, there is no such thing as a "justicar code".
That first police desk jockey speaks of "our code", as if it's something deep rooted in Asari culture at large - the justicars are only "a bit" more fanatical about it all.

Wait...why would Samara think I killed 300,000 people. Kenson killed 300,000 people, sorry. I was knocked out and woke up just in time to escape the asteroid.

Seriously the idea that Shep would tell anyone the truth about what happened on Arrival is completely ridiculous.

...you mean, like what Shepard did with Anderson?

You mean Hackett? And yeah, that little raidroad pissed me off to no end. Like hell I'm just going to hand him a report detailing exactly what went down.

You mean that my Shepard wasn't the only one who wanted to shoot that ba5tard out with the trash? "Our little secret, huh?" Phhgunk!

Samara is part of a religious order. Asari beliefs seem to allow the existance of justicars and their order and it is this religious belief which overrides the civic order. I suppose her code could create a simple logic: if she had to kill cops to be free, then the cops must be corrupt and should be killed. Likely when she demanded her release after one day, all the Asari police would do is watch her walk out the door. So either she kills, or just walks free - an undesirable outcome for the police either way.
Shepards 'invention" offered the best alternative for all concerned.
As for Shepard's actions resulting in the death of so many, Samaras code seems to allow for 'missions' that result in death. But she did tell a story of a Spectre who killed an innocent and she attempted to kill him in revenge: the Spectre escaped by using Samara's own code against her. Is it a parallel for Shepard?
As for Samara being a black and white character, I think her back story and dialogues were quite interesting and demonstrated a well developed character with powerful motivations. Her regrets and conflicts were well in evidence.

Before she was a Justicar she may have had some interesting character bits but that was before she was a Justicar when she became one she gave up on who she was and is now a black and white lame person.

This is an interesting possibility. Not sure how it fits into her code. If killing 300,000 people means saving billions (at least for a time) how does that enter into Samara's way of thinking? I mean Samara seems like the type that's willing to kill 1 save 100 because that's pragmatic. And after nearly a thousand years alive you gotta think the gal has a dangerously rational mind. Definitely interesting to think about, but I hope they don't do that. I like Samara a lot. I wouldn't want to have to kill her.
