Martial law does not in itself proscribe shooting looters on sight, but that can be (and often is) part of what it entails. The main function is that normal civil government and law enforcement procedures are temporarily abandoned in favor of a stricter military type of rule. Individual civil liberties become secondary due to the emergency.
