i completely disagree with you, no offense, but you seem extremely bias towards smugglers. Anyways, the docking rings and jump gates are not run by humans, they are run by a computer, so no one is there to shut it down. Another thing its, Why would the police abruptly destroy a jump gate or trade lane, those things take a lot of time to make and cost a lot. Having police shoot them every time a new one is built would put the house in debt faster then George bush did the USA. It in fact, in my eyes. seems not very RP to do that.
