This is Patrick Saebel, submitting a report of an incident in the Frankfurt system during a routine patrol.
Shortly after checking in at the Planet Holstein trade lane junction, a freelancer transport exited the trade lane from the Munich jump gate direction. Upon being questioned, the pilot admitted to carrying cargo from the Omicron systems. Scans revealed a large shipment of Xeno Relics in the cargo hold, which are contraband under Rheinland law. I made the decision to demand the illegal cargo be handed over for destruction.
However, shortly afterward, a Polizei unit arrived on the scene. The police officer decided that the transport will be escorted to the nearest Police base, where the cargo will be confiscated. Given that this kind of task is more in line with police work, I acquiesced to his decision, believing it to be correct. The freelancer vessel was then escorted to Planet New Berlin, where, presumably, it was searched by the police and its cargo seized. The pilot has been issued a warning.
Note to all Rheinwehr patrol units: the vessel designated Damarus is now a known smuggler with suspected Corsair ties. If this ship is spotted in Rheinland territory, it is to undergo a cargo scan. A repeat offense obligates the pilot to pay a fine.
I am attaching the relevant conversation log for review.

[30.07.2022 10:56:13] Damarus: to kusari space
[30.07.2022 10:56:59] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: Well, that is normally not my concern, but care to explain why you carry so many contraband alien relics?
[30.07.2022 10:57:44] Damarus: they are banned in Rheinland space?
[30.07.2022 10:58:06] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: Indeed.
[30.07.2022 10:58:33] Damarus: ouch, I didn't knew that
[30.07.2022 10:58:46] Damarus: how we gonna regulate this situation?
[30.07.2022 10:59:36] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: In the name of Rheinland law, I order you to jettison these artifacts immediately.
[30.07.2022 11:00:15] Damarus: sorry, sir, but it's a lot of money, so I'm thinking to dissobay this
[30.07.2022 11:00:38] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: Your non-compliance will result in a harsher penalty.

[30.07.2022 11:02:07] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: This transport is carrying illegal goods.
[30.07.2022 11:02:41] KPR|KP.Wach-L.Bormann: Well sir, you're gonna have to unload that cargo at the nearest base. It is unacceptable.
[30.07.2022 11:02:47] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: I have already requested the contraband be handed over. The pilot has been deliberating for some time.
[30.07.2022 11:03:06] Damarus: Indeed, as I said to the other officer, I didn't knew it's banned in Rheinland, and I don't wanna loose it, maybe there's
[30.07.2022 11:03:13] Damarus: any procedure that can help?
[30.07.2022 11:03:35] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: *chuckles* Ignorance of the law is not exemption from following it.
[30.07.2022 11:03:50] Damarus: agreed
[30.07.2022 11:03:58] KPR|KP.Wach-L.Bormann: You know now, and will not bring it next time hopefully. But now you have to unload the cargo
[30.07.2022 11:05:32] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: Should we take drastic action?
[30.07.2022 11:05:41] KPR|KP.Wach-L.Bormann: Let's go sir, I will escort you to the nearest police base and you will unload the cargo.
[30.07.2022 11:06:00] Damarus: we got an agreement with an police officer
[30.07.2022 11:06:12] [RM]Fl-Patrick.Saebel: I will join the escort.
[30.07.2022 11:06:20] KPR|KP.Wach-L.Bormann: More the merrier.
