The few cops I have spoken to would rather not deal with military crime, and let everything possible slide. AFAIK, they gotta bring the SP/MP in on things if they take anyone in - and they are not exactly known to go the extra mile when they could be catching a few z's in the koban, or manning the crosswalks when school's out.
Point well made, I tap out to your obvious rightness.
