Do they have inventory? Wares are ships cargo, inventory is personal items, there are illegal items on both of those. Have you told any ships to pick up drops? On the map go to "your property", the line of icons has a 'ships with inventory' icon, click that, any ship listed has inventory. To get it go to the ship and talk to the captain while they are flying, press 'more' and 'hand me your inventory'.
You can also tell the captain to deposit it their inventory at the HQ, they'll fly to the HQ and drop all their stuff in your stash.

Otherwise, is it not possible they are trading illegal wares like Spaceweed?

Hold on. Are you sure you are not hearing background chatter? The police routinely scan other ships too and they have these conversations. Random npcs have to uphold the law too :D

If police are talking to you the voice will be louder and clearer, and the subtitles will be in white. If the subtitles are grey and the voice is quieter with more static they are talking to another ship (might be one of yours, might not). You can see on the little radar which ships are actively talking with a little microphone icon.

You know. I think i might be having this problem as well. But I thought it was just them getting scanned, makes me wonder if i'm missing things in map mode.

This started happening on my end when I got the PHQ I think. I dumped some illegal wares in the "safe" storage there. I might dump those back out and see if that fixes it. Weird bug would be weird, but if it stops my miner getting stopped for the 41st time in an hour I'll try it. :lunar2019laughingpig:

You could be right, chatter does happen frequently in this game. My ships are definitely getting stopped with the blinky red/blue chatter icon with police next to them rather frequently though. It's always miners as well. Unless they are picking up spaceflies without me telling them to, I have no idea what's the problem.
