I don't know the answer to your specific questions, but the reason you're mostly finding US-specific results is your use of the term 'miranda'. In the UK a suspect is 'cautioned' on arrest. You might want to try that in conjunction with 'military police'. 'Reading his rights' isn't UK terminology either.

Would a police officer, military or civilian, really be allowed to play a part in arresting a close relative?

Many thanks.

As for the arresting part - the future world is a bit more chaotic than ours and not as well structured but it's a good point to raise so I'll be sure to address it.

I served as an officer in the UK Royal Air Force from 1990 to 2007 (engineering rather than aircrew) so I think I can offer some comments on this.

Firstly, eighty years is a very long time in the cultural evolution of any organisation, even one as conservative as the military. Also, bear in mind that the culture of obedience to authority means, ironically, that the military can change its culture quite fast if it is simply ordered to do so. A good example is the attitude towards homosexuality in the UK armed forces. When I was a junior officer, the RAF police would quite vigorously investigate rumours that an airman or officer was gay. In the late 1990s the policy was formally reversed, and by the time I left the RAF I was serving with officers who were in openly gay relationships ( ... )

And to give an example of cultural assumptions, I read straight past your comment about the captain and the sergeant both being male! I've now edited my answer accordingly.
