Just got word from EA! Turns out they will be introducing a new kit for the new patch. Its going to be called "Military Police". They will be equiped with mace (pepper spray if you're MEC or PLA), hand cuffs (you can cuff soldiers to vehicles to make sure they don't run away) and a digital camera (PLA version is cheap sony knock off and doesn't have auto focus, though it has a more powerful zoom)! Military Police will be the prime force to weed out hackers, stat padders, teamkillers and cheats. MP's will earn points by tracking, documenting and apprehending suspects to be turned in for Court Martial at the EA's International Crimes Tribunal to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

As far as special abilities, MPs will also have the "fake evidence" skill! They will be able to plant evidence on suspect gamers for whom they can't prove, but are sure of the fact, that they cheated. EA has stated that the chances of false convictions based on this special ability are practically nil due to the integrity of those who would choose to take up this noble duty.
Wow! Are you guys as excited about this as I am?
UPDATE: This just in from EA!
MP's will also be tasked with patroling friendly airports and making sure that the ROE are followed with respect to planewhoring! If you TK for a plane or force friendly pilots to TK you, MP's will arrest you on sight and handcuff you to the nearest airplane or helicopter (with a nice joy ride to follow). Should these not be availabe then they will be cuffed to the nearest TOW or Stinger Missile (followed by blast off).
Now here's the best part of all: if someone should TK an MP then that person's stats will be wiped (along with their clanmates) and their hardware banned thereby ensuring that the virtual battlefield of EA/DICE remains safe from neo-fascist and anarchists.
NOTE: I hear they are planning new kits for Patch 1.4! If you hear about em before us post it and I'll add it to this thread!
