Martial Law

[RN7]

I think in MilGov controlled areas you are going to see perpetual de facto Martial Law due to the fact that the military has replaced all forms of civilian authority, including any remnant police forces. MilGov may also give allied local militias some authority. I don't know how MilGov could constantly enforce military laws over civilians in their areas, but I suppose civilians would accept it due to the safety and other services that MilGov forces would give them.

In CivGov areas maybe some civil law and even regular police, but I think they would be strictly under CivGov military control and they might just only exist as a token nod to their civil legal legitimacy.

The more I think about it I think CivGov would have to act the same as MilGov to have any authority, as only armed force is going to be an effective deterrent to unlawful elements in these times. Other than the fact that CivGov claims to represent the surviving elected government of the US I don't really see that much difference between both groups.
