Real life police enforce laws. LSF players should do the same. LSF hasn't posted anywhere that I can find a list of what they consider contraband. The LSF factions status post (next to last faction on the page) says the following:
Quote:What We Do:
Protect the weak, seek out and destroy pirates and/ or terrorists in Liberty Space.
I don't see anything about killing smugglers. I guess the LSF must consider BHG to be weak.
Nowhere in the LSF factions status post is a list of contraband. Other players requested that the "police" (mostly navy) factions on this server post their lists of contraband, but I think that the RM and SF are the only such factions that have done so.
If an LSF officer on his own decides that BHG pilots are contraband (as far as I can tell, this is what happened), that is no different from a RL police officer pulling me over and deciding that the money in my wallet is contraband because he needs to pay for his donut fix.
chopper: Thank you for your support.

Kress: What part of Juan_Williams is NOT a pirate are you incapable of understanding? Read this thread again. Focus on my posts. My second or third post was addressed IC (that means In-Character) to Hoodlum explaining why I (as Juan_Williams) am NOT a pirate. The pirate flag and userbar in my signature are in relation to other characters, NOT Juan_Williams (just in case you're using them as an excuse for your false accusation).

The inappropriate actions of =LSF=Liquid are making me seriously consider making my character more unlawful. LSF should be encouraging lawful behavior, not illegally confiscating pilots, thereby angering players (like me) and encouraging unlawful behavior. Juan_Williams has NEVER been a pirate up to this point. IF Juan_Williams becomes a pirate due to this incident, you can blame the person who inspired that change: =LSF=Liquid.
Everybody: In a few hours, I'm going out of town for a couple days, so I won't be able to respond to this thread until I return.
