police vs Pirates

[uspatriotsf]

Police/Military can use Battleships to stop pirates/smugglers, just to go back to the original question. A pirate hunts down people to tax, a lawful stops pirates they happen to come across. It's a matter of intent. This is one of those fair play situations.

As far as the issue with the LSF destroying the ship with passengers aboard... Well, that would be completely open to interpretation. First off, the police down on Manhattan would surely have been made aware that this criminal would be docked there. So, who would board this probably publicly wanted man's ship. Good upstanding citizens of Manhattan? I doubt it. It would stand to reason that the passengers themselves would be, at the very least, shady individuals themselves. Not to mention the fact that a portion of the cargo survives when the ship is destroyed... So minimal collateral damage is accepted in order to bring the criminal to justice.
