I don't know anything about "Martial Law" (appears to be an Innsmouth Horror feature) or how the feature differs in magnitude / scope / rules to the patrol markers in Curse of the Dark Pharaoh. This seems the best answer given no other sources unless the Martial Law feature has a much different feel.

<p>When I end my turn in the street where there are monsters and a patrol marker, do I encounter the monsters first or perform the sneak check to avoid being arrested. Do I get to choose?</p>

Do I make the sneak check on the patrol marker or confront monsters first?
