For a fantasy setting, I don't think merging militaries with police is too far fetched. After all, leaders really didn't exactly care for civil rights for a long period up until around the renaissance historically. It's really more of a matter of what kind of fantasy setting you want to have, and while I agree with what you've said, this is a fictional setting, and if the setting has the military acting as a rough police force, then by all means. Besides, considering how NPCs occasionally speak of how the Empire deals with criminals, I don't see it being too far off the mark at least there. What matters is that people follow the laws, not that they're necessarily treated with respect, especially when there's no democratic Bill of Rights, or a Magna Carta, or any other sort of document guaranteeing a citizen's rights in the setting.
