Admin Notice: Rule 6.6

[Zukeenee]

Police has tradelane network and can actually scan from greater distance, demanding things from pilots. So this is not allowed?

Well, the rule revolves around destroying a ship in relation to making a demand. Going by the letter here, you can still demand whatever you want in green text. You just can't back it up with gunfire if the victim refuses.

The above should apply for a police ship demanding something they saw on the LAGnet, too. They can make all the private demands they want, because the rule is about what needs to be done before firing on someone. Once the police ship is within weapons range of the ship they're demanding from, they're also in range for local chat, and the police ship can make a public demand. So this works out fine.
