Im very surprised that the police/navy dont just patrol the jumpgates and major lane hubs. and devote fewer resources to planets and bases.
That way you have enough prescence to identify smugglers at any lawful checkpoint in the system, planet gate lane hub or base, and the major concentration at the gates will knock out 90% of the smugglers with the lane hub patrols getting another 5 and the remainder being people pegged for smuggling on a planet dock and caught on the return trip out of the system
sheesh. even I can figure that out:crazy::P
