The point is that martial law is a condition.
Cops, soldiers and many other groups may be able to break the law and get away with it, but that doesn't make what they do legal.

Sorry, first sentence should have read.

Cops, soldiers and many other groups may be able to break the law and get away with it, but that doesn't make what they do legal. "A difference which makes no difference is no difference at all" -- William James.
The operational definition of "being legal" could be said to be "Doing this will not bring punishment from the State down upon the people who do it".
