Promoting police roleplay - separating Police and Military identity?

[rwx]

Hi guys. You are probably aware than there are currently no dedicated police official factions in any house. Moreover, even unofficially, only a fraction of active players in any house seem to be playing police characters. Frankly, I don't remember the last time I saw a BPA or a KSP ship during my forays into Bretonia and Kusari, and Rheinland only has a few dedicated players for its unofficial police faction (KPR).

If we assume that this is a problem, what should be the solution?
I wanted to open a discussion about what could be the minimal amount of modification which may lead to more players focusing on police roleplay.

My own solution is as follows: change house military id lines from "Can enforce laws within House Space" to "Can attack ships breaking laws within House Space."
The idea behind this is simple: the military is a blunt tool with little training about civilian disputes and smuggling regulations. Their solution starts and ends with the application of force. So if you want more options when dealing with criminals (e.g. fines), and the ability to make inrp arrests, you fly on police ids. If anything too big comes calling, you ping the military for help and disengage until you have more support.

What do y'all think?

Although posted something similiar a while ago in the Discovery Discord (to remove the enforcement line completely from militaries, got a rather negative response), on second thought I think it's a rather bad idea.

As I would welcome /nodock (and more .police to annoy people), I think it should be an OF benefit. If you can gather enough people to play police, you can go official.
The oorp lolwut docking is now reduced (I won't say it disappeared). People listen now more to orders than powertrading. The reason of /nodock was, that official police factions don't have to do FR5 on every smuggler. Some old community members might remember "Affiliation status notification"/"Notification of Rheinland laws violation".

However, nothing prevents you to bring this up in the Rheingov and adjust the law. An id line change wouldn't be needed if the law empowers only police players with fine + cargo demand.
You could even go further and include some commodities to still be finable for the RM. (Military commodities like munitions, light arms and so on)
(And you can simply change the law back if a tryout period doesn't satisfy your intent.)
