The disabling of weapons would allow the shields to be raised quite a bit higher to give more survivability, maybe increase movement speed to get out of the way quickly, this way they are still vulnerable and if they go somewhere players don't want them to be they can still be killed.

Shooting of reporters will be frowned upon and might lead to an early death by teammates.
That is an idea...give them a killable, but identifiable in game avatar that isn't on anyone's side, and also give them an identifiable vehicle to get around in.

A few people will shoot them on sight no doubt, but otherwise that will let them do their jobs.
