Hypocrisy

[Drake]

Perhaps Naval/Armed Forces IDs are in need of modification? Take away their ability to stop smugglers or traders with contraband. Then maybe the police IDs will actually have a niche, rather than just being the poorly armed little brothers who sit around while the military has all the 'fun'.

In most of the 'real world', the armed forces of a country has no authority to arrest or detain citizens except in certain situations (or by executive order). They also have no authority over the law enforcement agencies, local or national, of their country... Again, except in certain situations. In fact, the police are allowed and duty-bound to arrest military personnel performing illegal activities.
