I don't think that the Silver Hand's profession is exactly legal in terms of the law in Skyrim.

I think it's because of the same murderous ways they have against Werewolves that makes them alienated by society.

To the people of Skyrim, the Silver Hand is nothing more than a bunch of vigilante bandits who do what they do out of pleasure in my opinion.

Farkas even said that the Silver Hand are nothing more than "Bad people who don't like werewolves."
