It has come as no shock to me that Cardemine is being siezed all across Sirius from Pirates, Outcasts and drug runners. In fact, the confiscation of such shipments is increasing as the cordons and nets are being tightened over major worlds.
What does come as a shock to me is the fact that there is no accountability of what happens to the contraband after it is taken by the Police Authorities.
This leaves it up to the wild imaginings of a lowly man such as myself to dream up all kinds of ridiculous scenarios, such as Libertonian Police Officers standing outside of New Manhatten school yards they are sworn to protect dangling a bag full of Cardemine tubes... Or Her Majesty's Constabulary running all the way to the trade markets with holds full of their gleeful prize, akin to privateers of yester-year... as long as they pay the Queen her due, they get to keep some of the profits.
Crazy thoughts I know. So perhaps, in your own words, Officers. Can you explain to the citizenry of Sirius, in detail, exactly what you do with the contraband you take in a seizure?
It is a good question, but the fantasies are far-off
Most of the time, contraband cargo is obliterated in space, the drugs burn up almost instantly on contact with the suns rays, if it survives the initial blast. however, even if it is destroyed in a nebula, salvage is almost impossible. This is done on grand amounts of the substance, as small amounts are preserved as evidence in a secure vault at the local HQ.
small samples of the contraband substances are also taken for examination, possibly to find a cure for the addiction or the ill effects it brings on.
We are always happy for your public consern and feedback.
aufrichtig, in freundschaft,
Holger Schmidtt, Rheinland Federal Police

To the Citizenry of Sirius,
You have heard from the Officers themselves about their official positions on this substance.
I have a simple answer, in the spirit of keeping them honest.
As a reward for... due diligence on the part of the Sirius neighborhood, I would like to see photographic evidence of any Police Official not disposing of this deadly contraband.
I will match the value of the Cardamine cargo photographed in the cargo hold of a Police vessel at the current Fair market value on Manhattan. All you have to do is post the picture here, and send me a private message with the link, and I will arrange payment.
Officers, consider this a warning. For those of you that obey your own regulations, you have nothing to be afraid of. For those of you, for whom corruption has become a lifestyle, you will be named publicly and shamed.

*reads transcript from the message*
Funny thing is that no matter how hard you try any transmission can be tracked and it takes only time. So this game of sending a broadcast over a mutli-channel station, will cease by the end of my transmission.
You as in the SCRA or better known around here as a SEFRA, have really nothing better to do than to howl these false wishful propaganda puns for no purpose at all?
You have been brainwashed to think that officers of Liberty would be conducive into openly breaking the law sworn to uphold. Only because the SEFRA (SCRA) have only experienced this within their own congregation of ranks. Really, the SEFRA moment is nothing more than people idle worshiping the past and want to recreate the events that happened over 800 years ago. All you want to is to destroy what we came to build for our future and forget our past. You sirs have no thought on what weight you will pull on Sirius's future. You will destroy everything as your kind did in the past you will do again.
Your revolution is nothing more that a joke, a pun to mock everything we have achieved in our 800 years. Its disrespectful, and disgusting. If only your great great great grandfathers would see you, boy he would be ashamed. And if your past can't honor you thus your future will belittled with honor.
*** Continued broadcast, using alternate protocols, despite LSF attempts to block***
Dear sirs,
It was never my intention to pontificate, I often find that when one sticks the rabid weasel of politics down one's trousers, one tends to get bitten somewhere pinkish.
However, since the LSF feels the need to climb upon a soap box and decry the wolves in the woods, I wonder if I should return in kind? But after much consideration I have decided that to use SCRA propaganda would not serve at this time. Instead, why don't I simply use Libertonian propaganda? I mean, after all, freedom of speech seems to be one of the great bastions of the Libertonian legal system.
Of course that brings me to one very interesting point, what legal system? It seems that of late Liberty is little more than a state run by the articles of Summary Justice. In the nation of Liberty, which was founded upon such wonderful tenants as the right to Due Process... Your Police, Security and Naval forces have degenerated from law officials into Street Justices.
The role of the LPI/LSF/LN "Officers" combines those of judge and police officer, thus avoiding long legal wrangles by allowing for criminals to be tried and sentenced on the spot. The very notion implies the impotence of a court/legal system and invalidates a constitution. Stripping away one of the most important institutions of a 'Libertonian Democracy', the role of the Judiciary.
How long, I wonder, does the average LPI officer undertake to fulfill this role of Judge, Jury and executioner? How long must a LSF Agent study the law to override the pesky need for public defenders? And where, in the official oath of a Libertonian Naval Officer, does it say that he can overrule the Appellate court?
Manhattan itself has descended to the level of state-sanctioned butchery on a mass scale, while officers cavort and plunder, extort and pillage the very people they are sworn to protect, leaving the public with little to no recourse.
They tore up your constitution the moment they donned their badges.
You may note, that I say nothing of the Federal Police or the Constabulary. They have their own issues. But they are at least honest about their dealings. I have personally witnessed the RFP disposing of Cardamine after an interdiction. And the Constabulary make no effort to hide the fact that they sell off their plundered loot, in fact the process is detailed in their codex of law.
I focus, instead, upon you, Special Agent.
I have a question for you. What is worse? The Pirate Copperhead, who prowls the Californian trade lanes honest about his trade. Or a hypocritical Police Officer, his pockets stuffed with ill-gotten cash from his latest seizure, waving the Liberty Constitution and saying it is his right?
Look to your own forces, your own officers admit that there is corruption there. Some of them have even witnessed colleagues who have failed to destroy Cardamine cargoes, instead hauling them aboard for resale.
If you are afraid of my propaganda, if you fear my ancestors tears, then perhaps you should get a roll of scotch tape and put the constitution of yours back together. Maybe then my propaganda won't have any bite.
I don't hide my identity, nor do I fear your censorship.
