Should Militaries Be Allowed to Scan and Halt People?

[Armageddon]

Im sort of in two 1/2's with this one i understand what you are saying but...

I would say if a Navy Fighter is passing by and sees a small trader looking a bit shifty. Scan thier cargo and see whats going on there. However if its one of the big ships they should only be allowed to scan in a clearcut military zone e.g. if they are going to dock with a Battleship (as the pilot would defend the Battleship at all costs).

Also i think Military should have full rights in border systems. e.g. Magellan. As the Military would be called upon there to uphold the law.

However the little Police chars should do most of the leg work.

Personally on my Military char i only scan when there is no Police available. Or the trader in question is close to a base of important military significance.
