What if...?

[Lord Caedus]

Well, it is time of war and there's a possibility that Liberty might have a martial law inside its borders (I assume that, because it is usually Liberty Navy that scans people inside Liberty). And the arrest on the president don't need to be a very old thing, it would even be few months and someone else might have been acting as a president in that manner.

All in all, I would love to see such a roleplay within Liberty.

Martial Law hasn't been declared in Liberty currently. The reason you see Navy ships scanning cargo is twofold. There's not much in the way of LPI presence currently, and the Navy can't be out raiding constantly. There aren't always threats to go deal with, so sometimes the Navy scans ships to keep itself busy.

P.S. If Martial law had been declared, you wouldn't see actual legal proceedings for stuff like the whole Junkers Congress legality issue. The Navy would just declare them hostile and shoot them.
