That means they don't even have to claim their guilty results, they can just vig. And even if they do claim their guilty results, no big deal, since the investigation ability is collective, and it will take the mafia several nights to wipe out the whole group.

Unless this is a decent size game or the town has no other powers, it's probably already a bad idea to have a confirmed-protown masonry of more than two people...
The other possiblility is to make the mafia aware that such a group exists, let there be no docs in the game, and let the town have no other powers. Perhaps moreover, don't let the "posse" talk at night, they just know each other to be innocent, and perhaps aware that the mafia know of their presence. It gives them added incentive to stay hidden, and allows the mafia to work to find their presence via their interactions with each other.

I'm growing open to the idea after some major tweaks.
