Rheinland Law Violator: HAMMY
Guten tag.
Today, traffic in Frankfurt was slightly higher than usual, so I decided to patrol the lane between Mannheim and Mainz. Within the vicinity of Mainz, a Behemoth-class medium transport - callsign HAMMY - was scanned as usual, and resulted that was hauling Refugees, likely from Planet Nuremberg, given the dire situation in Munich.
When I attempted to stop the vessel's captain to inform him of his violation of Rheinland laws, he blatantly ignored my multiple orders to halt, and forced me to deploy cruise disruptors to stop his ship. I informed the captain to turn back and head to nearby Planet Holstein to offload the Refugees he was illegally moving, but he outright refused, and kept running from me, heading towards Mannheim.
With his blatant ignorance of Rheinlandic law, as well as defiance of a direct order from a Rheinlandic law enforcement officer, I was ultimately forced to resolve to brute strength. My nimble Sleipnir easily ruptured the Behemoth's hull, turning it to dust. I took as many people as I could onboard my ship and offloaded them on Mainz, the remaining ones were picked up by a friendly ship passing by the lane, which took them to safety at the nearest station.
The law violations committed by this captain - despite justice having been delivered - are the following:
§2.4.1. - Violation of orders given by law-enforcement authorities’ representatives.
§1.4. - Transportation of more than 100 persons is restricted only to liners and ships of size up to 3.000 cargo units.
§1.4.2. - All ships caught within Rheinland space violating this regulation will be detained and passengers will be reloaded in space if a ship of law enforcement authority suitable for their transportation is available. Alternatively, detained ships may be either returned to the spaceport where they loaded passengers or to the nearest station or planet. After that, captains of these ships are obliged to unload all passengers and then undock for leaving check to make sure no one stayed aboard. In extreme cases, law enforcement units are authorized to use necessary force. If such an event happens, responsibility for any possible injuries of passengers lies fully on uncooperative captains.

[15.08.2019 17:04:12] BDM|Rkt.Karl.Verstappen: "Captain, you are hauling people in a non-suitable vessel."
[15.08.2019 17:04:24] BDM|Rkt.Karl.Verstappen: "As such, you are to head for Planet Holstein and drop them off."
[15.08.2019 17:04:36] BDM|Rkt.Karl.Verstappen: "I will escort you there."
[15.08.2019 17:04:41] HAMMY: no
[15.08.2019 17:04:48] BDM|Rkt.Karl.Verstappen: "Fine."
[15.08.2019 17:05:10] BDM|Rkt.Karl.Verstappen: "By defying an order from a Rheinland law pilot, you are now under arrest!"
[This is where the captain of HAMMY tried to flee - failing miserably.]
