He only needs one reason were she to be arrested: She's working with Qrow and by proxy, Ozpin. And I don't believe he'd want one of the few people he could bother to actually discuss this whole business with locked up in prison. They say Blake is in on the Ozluminati, Ironwood gives her a get out of jail free card.

Seriously, for all intents and purposes, Ironwood has initiated Martial Law. If the Council decides who does what, and the Council has assumedly 5 seats based on whats been said and done, and Ironwood has two, he all but runs Atlas at this point. So if Ironwood says the catgirl doesn't stay in jail, she doesn't stay in jail. If he says "Papa Schnee fuck off and get out of my sight", Jacques better get out of his sight. What Ironwood says is effectively the law there.
