War in orbit???

How effective will such a police force be in the asteroid belt?

Weapons in space will be a reality. Point a mass driver at a
target and you have a gun. Point it opposite the direction you
want to go and you have an engine.

The laws in space will be made by the people that living there. And
if they believe that everyone should carry an m16, that's what
will happen.

I personally would be the first to start shooting back at a police
force 'authorized to neutralize any violators'. I live in a country
were people are innocent until proven guilty, and violators of the law
have their day in court. They are not shot down like animals or run
over by tanks.
