Some may just despise the idea of "grounds for suspicion" when no crime was known to have been committed... assuming such weapons weren't themselves illegal.

You missed which police force that was: ESCA is the European Space Control Agency, which regulates EU-registered spacecraft and stations. Not even slightly American. Under such a jurisdiction, "grounds for suspicion" isn't grounds for arrest or prosecution, just a flag to look into anything connected with you that looks even slightly interesting.
