So as I was sitting there last night, looking at those fallen comets and smoking a blunt, it got me wondering...
Why do lawfuls destroy the contraband upon discovering it?

Now, don't start flaming yet. We know very well that the key to any happiness in discovery world is either a

a) Nice rp victory
b) free cash!
c) That nice blue msg when you do the killin.

Hokay. So, moving from that, when local authorities capture some contraband, why do they destroy it? Did you guys ever thought about rping that government actually gives support (finnancial) to the authorities delivering the contraband to the local bases after destruction.

Ok, i know, it can be abused. But it wouldn't harm that, for example, after they caught the latest cardamine smuggler, the LPI (or how are they called, i swear it's been a while since i was in Liberty) brings their hauler that transports the contraband to the base.

Maybe it could nudge bit more motivation to the authorities, and maybe make some decent cash for the players, so they wouldn't have to get their trader out and do some routes to support their train CD's.

Yes, there is a chance of said LPI ID transport doing the cardamine runs himself, but come on, one screenshot of him docking at mactan or (insert your base here i've never been to that part of sirius) and he's gone for good. IRP and OORP.

Thoughts?

lawfuls dont want to control contraband, making sure it gets into their custody, i believe they want to wipe it out entirely.
it seems more rp for contraband to be destroyed then bags of cardi filling up the evidence room.

Slaves on the other hand, i'll be disgusted with liberty when LPI starts destroying slaves

well i wasn't thinking of actually stacking it in warehouses. More like, having a proper place where it could be evidenced and destroyed.
Like they actually do now.

Slaves would be freed ofcourse.

If the police seize cardamine, Cryer Pharmaceuticals will be more than happy to send a transport to pick it up and take it to our research centre on Manhattan.

As far as I am aware, the BPA tried to seize contraband and return it to a police base back in 4.84 and were informed that we couldn't.

shame. it would be a good motivation for the lawfuls to actually guard their place. I mean, if they have nothing from it, they're more keen to be corrupt

Why not?

I've done that quite a bit on my LPI. A fellow officer and I used to have a transport set up to haul back evidence.

I'll bump this because I feel it should lead somewhere. Unless admins disagree.
Personally I don't see why wouldn't a character self sustain himself when he's playing a policeman. At least some sort of paychecks should be made so the can actually avoid having to trade if they're good at their job.

Issue few official liberty police transports, have them transfer the goods to the liberty police inc base and that's about it.
