New line to Law ID

You also have extreme cops that treat 1 small joint as the end of the world.

Indeed, but even most extreme cops will not shoot you as you stand for having 1 joint,
they might smack you, put a fine, arrest - but not put freaking bullet in the head.

And that is my problem with previous Jayce statement - instead RP opportunities
we have "drop or die" what sound to me like an another poor excuse for blue-message.

I mean, if you've got 1 unit on your ship, you're obviously a disgusting degenerate
that contributes nothing to Libertonian society, and should be deported post haste.

That is pure discrimination and overkill...

There is no grey area usually. Either your cargo is legal and thus cops won´t bother you, or it isn´t. And when you have illegal cargo onboard, it must be confiscated by laws and if you refuse to jettison it, you are shot. Simple as that. Sure, there can RP, you can try to convince law enforcer with some hearbreaking story why this one piece of contraband is important for you. But that does not mean that law enforcer -have to- let you go just because you roleplayed. It depends on several factors, including nature of law enforcer, his experience, circumstances and such. Just like in real life, in certain bordering situations or in minor offences, there are cops which will let you go with a warning, but also cops which will give you hard time because they for some reason have no understanding for you. Thus there is nothing wrong to use any of these attitudes in roleplay.

Again - even most extreme lawbringers will not shoot you as you stand for having 1 joint...
just like cops do not shoot-to-kill people for crossing the road on the red light.

Instead of suggesting this a rule change, why not try to lobby the governments inRP to take a more lenient stance on contraband commodities? You're trying to find an ooRP solution to an inRP issue which is the wrong approach to take.

Who knows, maybe you'll find some support for the idea.

And that is quite neat idea.
