Today's patrol was certainly interesting. It was a normal routine patrol in the New York system when I had received reports from another fellow officer regarding an illegal shipment of counterfeit software. I responded to the call and came across the suspect in the Texas system sitting at the New York jumpgate. A quick scan of the suspect's ship confirmed that it did indeed contain counterfeit software. I then proceeded to stop the suspect and perform an investigation but the suspect did not respond. The suspect began to flee and I have given him/her plenty of warnings to cut their engines and comply but I was left with no choice but to open fire on the suspect's ship as they repeatedly ignored the orders of an officer. A pursuit took place within the Texas system and my ship was outfitted with the latest law enforcement technology to keep up with the perp. Luckily, I had backup from another officer who was also involved in the pursuit. Unfortunately the suspect was able to land on Planet Houston and the suspect's ship had taken some damage from my weapon systems. I will be on the lookout for the suspect pending further investigation. The ship involved in the pursuit was a Mammoth Liberty transport and had no affiliation with any of the major corporations in Liberty. I'm certain that justice will be served in due course.
