You also blocked everything I came to do a few minutes after that. What kind of peace loving and harmonic race puts military checkpoints on their streets? I don't remember Equiis ever needing to be placed under martial law, and yet somehow there it all was.

It wasn't so much of a military checkpoint as a thing you walk through and scans you.
And Canterlot may look somewhat like Martial Law, but they are were paranoid, espically after you killed Cadence.
