Stops on your patrol/trade route: New York System-->Texas System--> Minnesota system-->Quebec system-->New Hampshire-->New York System-->California System-->New York system-->Colorado System-->Coronado System--> Alberta System. Brief report/outline of your patrol:Officer Vladimir was shivering from the freezing cold. Sitting at a table in the bar whilst on a break from manning the defences on Red Deer Station, Officer Vladimir was waiting for his meal and hot beverage that he ordered from the bartender. He knew the bartender was a robot, but he had hoped the food was good.
The robot eventually came with a Liberty Hot Dog with melted Cheese, and a hot mug of coffee. He ate the delicious hot dog and took a few sips of his coffee. The food reminded him of his days visiting Pittsburgh working for the Liberty Prosecution Office. Finishing his meal and continuing to sip his coffee which had become ice-cold, he took out his mini holo-computer from his satchel. Turning it on to make the report from the day before, Officer Vladimir remembered of the 5 minute pursuit in his Liberator after a freelancer, which had made him wonder what his purpose was in fleeing so long. He chuckled and then began typing, making a tapping noise as he did so.
___________________________________________________ Liberty Police Incorporation Report: 23/03/818 A.S.
LPI Officer Vladimir Law began his patrol in New York system, flying around and doing the required scans, checks for contraband, for intoxicated pilots and for any violent transgressors. The patrol was quiet with only lawfuls inhabiting the system, and the new Police Databases showing no sign of criminal activity.
I then decided to enforce the embargo in Texas system. Heading to Texas I spotted a vessel with military goods and asked him what was his destination. After he told me that it was Stuttgart, I explained the current Liberty Embargo against Rheinland, and told him he could sell his goods at Planet Houston. I then subsequently escorted him to Planet Houston where he sold his hold of Superconductors for triple the cost he bought it for. Having arrived in the system. I continued enforcing the embargo and checking the cargo of merchants and vessels arriving in the system.
At one point, a Civilian Freighter fled and refused to respond so I gave chase. Having closed the gap in the pursuit, I fired a Cruise Disruptor towards the ship. The ship immediately halted near the Minnesota jumphole. On talking to the merchant I discovered that he did not understand the language of the sector (//He was Russian) and offered to escort him to his destination, which was New Hampshire. Heading through Quebec after checking the police holonet if it was a patrol area, I continued into New Hampshire escorting the merchant. However sadly suddenly the Rheinland Military attacked my vessel in New Hampshire. 4 Wraith Very Heavy Fighters engaged me, and I gave battle. Unfortunately more Rheinland Navy reinforcements came and my vessel was destroyed. I then fled in my escape pod to the nearest Battleship, and a Navy supply ship gave me a ride back to New York.
After arriving at Fort Bush and entering a LPI Liberator in the Police Hangar and equipping it with the required equipment, I started my patrol again. Heading towards Norfolk Shipyard, I saw a hostile vessel named *Free.Cannabis* on my scanners. I immediately went to intercept when I found a Battleship of The Order near the Alaskan Minefield[1]. After asking it to heed, it fled into the minefield. I requested Liberty Navy (LNS-) backup, and they arrived and pursued the vessel into the Alaska system[2]. I then went back to patrol, as the LPI has no jurisdiction in Alaska.
On going back to patrol, I continued the usual patrol pattern. As LPI protocol requires a vessel to stop for a proper analysis of their cargohold, it requires a vessel to disengage their engines. However near Norfolk Shipyard a vessel refused to stop and began to run[3]. Heading from Norfolk Shipyard into West Point, he still continued to flee[4]. Another vessel assisted in the pursuit at that point in time if it turned hostile. From West Point he continued to flee and the pursuit went into California system.
Continuing to pursue in California after issuing with him a fine for fleeing, and the vessel Opus still refusing to heed[5]. Whilst in pursuit I decided to run a scan to see why he was fleeing, as it was highly suspicious[6][7]. I could not find any illegal cargo, but due to the fact that he did continue to flee, and due to that obstructed the course of justice under s1(4); by not stopping so I could validly check his cargohold, and by not paying the fine, I continued pursuit. In my report on this pursuit I would like to comment that if Opus had stopped, I would have been more than happy to let him go quickly in less than 20 seconds.
Regardless after around five minutes of pursuing the suspect, he eventually stopped[8] after threatening that if he does flee the sector I will report him to the relevant LPI criminal databases[9]. When he stopped I fired a total of 4 Cruise Disruptor missiles in order to ensure that he did not continue to flee from the law. I then made a judicial decision as an LPI Officer to charge him 3 000 000 credits for the obstruction of justice, under s1(4) in refusing to pay the fine, and furthermore regardless of such law or with it, fleeing the law without a valid excuse (//No RP whatsoever besides continuing to tell me to go away and that 'he wasn't heading to Texas' which was irrelevant).
The suspect after hesitation paid his fine[10]. I explained to him that I was not corrupt, that the whole fine will go to the relevant system, LPI-Rikers after being transferred to my police database. Letting him leave the said sector, I then sent the fine to LPI-Rikers as the evidence shows[11]. The pursuit was resolved and, in my judicial decision, I was happy that it was a just decision to find him for such a transgression.
After the pursuit I thanked the accompanying pilot, and continued patrol. I then received a radio message from Alberta for backup against Liberty Rogue's operating in the area. I then travelled through New York, Colorado, Coronado and then into Alberta to destroy a total of three Liberty Rogue installations and many rogue vessels in assistance for the local LPI presence. After the patrol, I landed my Liberator into Red Deer Station and assisted in the operation of its laser turrets against rogue attacks.

Officer Law finished the report and sent it to headquarters. Attempting to drink his coffee, he realised that it had turned into ice and had solidified. "Damn it! Nothing beats Sunbucks" he sighed. Packing up his mini holo-computer into his Satchel, he assembled his equipment and continued to his operations at Red Deer Station
