y'know, there wouldnt be problems with people 'speed docking' if the liberty lawfuls would get away from manhattan.
They sit 2k from the planet all day long and expect to be able to catch a smuggler before he docks... not gonna happen. The only way you're going to stop a smuggler is by getting him BEFORE he has a chance to get to his destination - that means standing guard at the jump gates and stations around new york and other systems scanning anyone that comes by. The second you see someone smuggling, you can go after him with cruise disruptors / trade lane disruptions to slow him down, and tell other lawfuls the ship's name, cargo, and where he's at / where he's headed.
