Lawfuls and contraband

[silverleaf]

Thats not the point of the topic man. Point of the topic is could the police actually haul off the captured contraband to Manhattan.

Believe point of topic is weather cargo goes kaput or gets hauled off.

Scavengers of the Abyss - A Freelancer Short Story

I believe that is pretty well what Ivan said.

Ivan, it depends on the individual cop. They could, what with it being roleplay and all. Some cops accept bribes, which I don't see as that different. Are people gonna report them for that?

Actually, as a rp explanation i was thinking it is far worse to destroy cargo on spot, since that makes a policeman judge, jury and executioner. What is somewheat good, but producing some evidence to Manhattan, where they can categorize the contraband and hold it as evidence against some traders would be a good rp as well.

Well to be honest cops ain't always gonna have a freighter or something around to haul off the goods. There's a line between RP and life, and it usually falls along the same border as ridiculous.

So sure, you can take the goods down to the local police station for examination, if you've got yourself a trans that can handle it.

Why shouldn't they have one? Wouldn't you be more motivated to hunt for contraband if it actually paid off?

I did that with my Bounty Hunter. A friend and I took down a cardy transport and decided to 'confiscate' the drug and give it to a special transport on Manhattan. I had to transport 5,000 units of cardamine in a few trips from the back of Manhattan in my Orca. It was amusing. Until indie LN showed up....

And we got the profit for the deal. So we made 7 mil each of off cardie profits for selling it to the researchers on Manhattan.

I like the idea. A lot. Contraband doesn't get blown up. Ever saw a real life cop throwing a mollie (No! Not an irishman!) on a stack of confiscated drugs in the middle of the street? In RL, contraband gets confiscated, its brought to the police station, is used as evidence and gets destroyed afterwards .
Why should the authoritys is Disco act different?

A wild goose chase (RP story)

[Nysquist]

I like it, I really like it.
However, I don't think say the LPI officer can take the load of cardie to Manhattan in his Mammoth. The contraband should be tranfered to a secure site, a faction owned base but not where you could gain the most profit.

One problem might be indie military with them big battleships, patroling for smugglers for the profit when smugglers are more of a policematter. Then, a battleship does need the money.

If this will be enabled, I can imagine alot of policy and politics that has to be dealt with among the lawfull faction of a house. But that's up to the admirals and comissioners.

I can se a million ways this could be abused, but you can make it work in RP and I'll say go for it!

Why? The point to is to encourage more police. The id already restricts the size of the transports so I think it is fine. Also the places where it is the most profitable (house capitals) are where the HQ for said police faction most likely to be at; I makes RP sense to send evidence there. As was said before the cops who try to smuggle can be sanctioned for OORP landing.

This won't be a problem since caps have the uncanny ability to disappear or morph into a starflea when they shoot at transports.

Well I wont bother to read the other three pages so Ill make this nice and simple incase it was already said...

It would be lawful piracy if we 'fined' or 'destroyed' people and took their loot to sell it, sure it may make sense in RP but server-wise it just doesn't look right.
