It would be nice to have to do a little less work.
But the issue comes again.
Are the police equipt well enough to deal with the average pirate alone?
Because that question really depends on the house these days.
And before someone says "they can ask navy for help" what if there are none available?
Your then pushing them into a special area of "only can be stopped if Police AND Navy are on".
If its just 1 or the other then they can pretty much do what they like.
Cops can't stop em, not enough power.
Navy can't stop em, not allowed to.
If you can get it to work though, by all means.
I mean I already admited it'd make my job easier.
Just might make the pirates / smugglers jobs easier too ...
