Mind Reader was not some sort of overpowered Soultrait that allowed Michael to control the target's mind. If anything, Mind Reader was full of restrictions since it required touching the target to read his/her mind.
Even after touching the target it would be better to be as close to the brain as possible, which usually meant that the target's movements had to be restricted to read his/her mind easily.
["Stop touching me you filthy bastard! DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"]
["Great Mother will tear you apart, you bastard! She will skin you alive, cut your miniature cock, cook it and feed you your own useless thing! She will starve you before plucking out your nails and layers of flesh slowly over the course of weeks. When you finally think that you're going to die, she will send her subordinates to heal you and start from scratch. You will be fed your own meat and your piss, you fucking bastard!"]
