But is in still not uncommon to see friendly nations stopping each other.
I have always heard it put that the militia doesn't know it is a friendly nation's character it is stopping only that someone is doing a crime. It makes sense. These characters wouldn't be wearing signs around their necks saying who they are. They would be lurking in shadows waiting to strike their prey, and are stopped by the militia.
