Last nights patrol was the most interesting yet.
Firstly last night when i was on patrol i went to make a routine stop of a civilian vessel.
She was ordered to halt but refused and also refused to answer any questions.
I proceeded to shutdown the lane she was traveling on so i could continue my line of questioning. Instead of stopping she engaged cruise engines.
I armed a Cruise Disrupter and hit her vessels engines.
She still refused to stop so i warned her the fleeing a LPI officer is a crime and she will be fired upon if she doesn't halt immediately.
Ignoring my directions she continued to flee forcing me to engage.
Seconds after engaging the target a Liberty Navy vessel engaged me out of nowhere with no warning severely damaging my vessel.
The navy vessel then proceeded to threaten me saying "get lost, its two verses one"
Both vessels fled liberty space for a extended time, The navy vessel later returned.
upon his return he was greeted me and another officer who quickly shut down his engines and the trade lane.
And investigation ensued led by the other officer acting as an neutral party.
After around and hour of questions to both me and the navy pilot the conclusion was reached that i was well within my rights and his actions of assaulting a Primary Fleets officer was illegal.
He agreed he was in the wrong and payed compensation for damages to my vessel ending the matter.
Towards the end of the shift me and officer hannes came across a vessel transporting illegal substances and ordered them to halt, him and his accompanying piloet proceeded to "moon" us and consume the illegal substance. He was Charged with carrying illegal cargo, Public indecency, Public disturbance, Flying under the influence and assaulting a police officer.
we proceeded to chase the subjects for a very long time but faced interference from freelancers in different forms Including shutting down trade lanes and firing on our vessels.
