Should Militaries Be Allowed to Scan and Halt People?

[Jinx]

scanning another person is mandatory. asking someone for his cargo after a scan is - well, beneath the military. however if a smuggler happens to run "into" the military - there is not a single reason why the military should not enforce police duty there ... that is, unless there is a policevessel close. in that case the military would tell the police and leave it to the police.

the military or semi military factions would not activly patrol for contraband. !BUT! that only includes minor smugglers ( freighters ). i find it perfectly fine when the military goes for the bigger fish. that does not only include the source of the contraband, but also the bigger dealers. while a freighter with like 400 cardamine is a serious violation to the law, the police can still handle the situation just fine.

when there is an advanced train with 5000 tons of cardamine however, its not only a random trader that was picked as a courier, but someone that is deeply in drugs and smuggle. that is certainly something the military would take care of. ( + investigate )

this is a base for quite some RP raids. when the LSF finds an advanced train full with cardamine, its not an issue of a single smuggler. the LSF / Navy would certainly go for such a smuggler - but wouldn t stop there. its essential to investigate where it comes from, cause smuggling in such a large scale needs to be organized. - so catching a trader in manhatten and "asking" him about the locations and his route might well end up in revealing every jumphole up to omicron-alpha... which can then result in a major military operation against Malta - by the LSF and liberty Navy, possibly even a joint force with the KNF.

think its carried away? - dont think so.... but it can aswell end up in a quick strike by LSF forces against Malta instead of a full scale military operation.

when its a transport with contraband, i think its totally inRP for military units to activly go for it.
