I was one of the scouts, and I aligned for the next gate and entered warp. Another empty Null system... and another empty one... and an- wait! There is a pilot not in our fleet.
"POLICE RAID!" I blared over the local com channels, even as I aligned for the next gate. I giggled. "Bring your ship to the 3F gate with your weapons OFFLINED and prepare to be searched!!"
It was Sunday, and I had poked one of the wormholer open fleet FC's into organizing a Police Pursuit Comet roam. We ended up setting out with almost fifty pilots from w-space in our fleet: a half dozen armor logi frigates, a few Kitsunes packing jams, and forty rail-fit Comets backed up by flashy lights and pilots ready to shout 'Pull over!' and 'Jettison the contraband!' in local.
We scared the crap out of the first couple of people we tried jumping in low sec - spiking the system by fifty pilots tends to do that, so Minus Dronus called for scouts/bait. I've never had problems with being shot at or taking one for the team, so I volunteered; we ended up with three comets going ahead of the fleet, finding Faction Warfare people in plexes or getting targets to aggress us on gates and stations.
The scouts took down a couple of T1 frigates in plexes, and a Noctis jumped through the gate the fleet was sitting on; he was quickly pointed and scrammed and ordered to surrender his contraband. When he didn't comply, of course the fleet blew him up for resisting arrest.
We had a few other criminals we snagged as we scouted through the warzone, and then finally caught something good: a fleet of a half-dozen yellow and red flashies camping a gate into high sec. One of the scouts landed on grid and was attacked by a tornado; I and the other scout quickly came to assist, spreading points and engaging the tornado, while the rest of the fleet quickly entered warp to join the fray. "OFFLINE YOUR HARDENERS, CRIMINALS!" we demanded, although we didn't seem to need to - the tornado went down /fast/, popping before the majority of the fleet had landed. The Hurricane had a heavier tank, but once it had forty Comets chewing on it it went down quickly, too. The third ship we had pointed had apparently not aggressed yet, though, and snuck out the gate; the rest of the gate camp scattered.

We spent a few moments congratulating each other on putting an end to the criminal activities, and a Maller jumped through our gate; it cloaked up, though, and entered warp as it decloaked. "Your license plate has been noted!" I called after him in local. "We'll send you a citation in the mail!"
We took a detour through null sec, but as usual Null was pretty empty; when we got back into Low, though, the fleet jumped a gate and landed on a flashy yellow destroyer gang. There were easily a dozen to eighteen ships, mostly Algos' (Algosi?) and a few Navitases. They were already on the move as we entered system, warping off as we held cloak on the gate; the scouts gave chase!
The three of us followed them to a station in Vey, in the Placid region, and began ordering them to turn themselves in for questioning, to let us search their ships, and so on. They didn't respond, other than to acquire target locks; they held their fire, though, and the FC held the fleet out of the system as we waited for them to aggress. For whatever reason, they decided to start shooting me first; I informed the fleet, and the logi landed on grid as I was entering structure. They didn't save my comet in time (I exploded, to cries of 'Officer down!' echoed through coms), but because the destroyer gang was locked out of the station the rest of the fleet had a nice battle:

We took out half a dozen of them before they got away, and I headed back to Dodixie to grab one of the spare Comets I had in stock. The roam ended shortly afterwards, though, and we dispersed back to our uncharted systems... until next time.
Of special note was the following conversation I had with a Null Sec resident. :D
