This issue is that if a smuggler/criminal manages to dock and sell their loot, or did not have any loot in the first place, there is no incentive for them to stop and pay a fine, or accept arrest, as they know that they have nothing to lose.
Obviously, in a real scenario, the criminal/smuggler would consider in factors of imprisonment time, loss of life, the destruction of their ship etc.

Err ... you might not notice the difference between a smuggler/criminal/unlawful until you have some EVIDENCE that he or she comitted a crime;)
The police is not there to arrest random people to fill the prisons (well, this might be different in Liberty)!
You don't have to worry anything as a "lawful" unlawful if they can't prove it! ;)
