I have to report a rather unpleasant experience we had in Rheinland.
It looks like whatever demons possessed certain liberty law-enforcement officers half a year ago now possess BDM officials. In what resembled a deja-vu of the Libertonian harassment, we were stopped without cause after delivering Gold Ore to Berlin together with the Crayter Atlas Transport Melissos Peistas.
[14.06.2019 23:07:51] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Enfield: You two!
[14.06.2019 23:08:09] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Enfield: I think we need to teach you two where it says in the Rheinland laws that you're not allowed here.

[14.06.2019 23:08:15] Melissos_Peistas: why for?

[14.06.2019 23:08:29] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Enfield: So stay right there, thats a lawful order.
[14.06.2019 23:08:46] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Why are we not allowed here?

[14.06.2019 23:10:40] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Certain incidents happened due to the insubordination by Crayter military and republic individuals which caused-
[14.06.2019 23:10:55] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Major distrust between the Federal Republic and Crayter organizations.
[14.06.2019 23:11:06] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: What incidents?
[14.06.2019 23:11:08] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: But as such, I must enforce the laws of Rheinland.

[14.06.2019 23:13:01] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Ignorance of the Rheinland laws does not exempt from Liability.
[14.06.2019 23:17:02] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: If it should help in the future, you should distribute this to everyone you can.
[14.06.2019 23:17:33] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: We don't want anyone getting nasty shocks or getting hurt because they were ignorant of the situation.
[14.06.2019 23:17:40] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: It doesn't look good for any of us.

[14.06.2019 23:20:40] BDM|Dkt-Geoff.Enfield: Ashanti?

Although the two BDM goons pointed to article 4.1 of their laws (here is a copy for convenience):
§4. All foreign police, military and intelligence agency spaceships of any size are banned from Rheinland space unless permission to enter is given by a High Command member of the Rheinwehr primary fleet ([RM]) or the Bundestag. In case of conflict, the decision of the Bundestag carries more weight.
§4.1. Following organizations are considered as foreign police, military and intelligence agency:
Battlegroup Harmony
Bretonia Armed Forces
Bretonia Intelligence Service
Bretonia Police Authority
Council
Crayter Republic
Gallic Royal Intelligence
Gallic Royal Navy
Gallic Royal Police
Liberty Navy
Liberty Police Inc.
Liberty Security Force
Liberty Separatists
they ignored article 4.3 which specifically states that Crayter Transports are allowed in Rheinland:
§4.3. Following organizations are permitted to enter the Rheinland space for the purpose of trading with freighters, liners and transports, which may be accompanied by escort of the same affiliation in size of one fighter or bomber per every ship and one gunboat per every two ships: Bretonia Merchant Navy (BAF|MN-), Council and Crayter Republic.
I hope High Command will have a word or two with Rheinland about this.
