All normal officers will be changed to the bandit role by a moderator if they are demoted.

If it is a troll report, the post will be locked by a moderator.


2.1 how to be demoted

If you are ticketing/arresting/kill warrenting legal things

If you punish to harshly

If you let a player off to easy for a serious crime

If you ticket/arrest/kill warrent without common sence ex: ticketing for unlicensed weapons in the license shop

Being corrupt ex: get bribed to not say where berries are being grown

yes this was long overdue but I hope the size makes up for it! I don't know any other law-book of this size.

REMINDER: still needs to be approved by _Classified but can now be used.

[The Duke II]

The building permit law and police searching base without a reason aren’t good laws

[Ze Golden Pug]

I agree with Duke the reason should be I'm searching in theory of berries or something and add one more warrant murder during a robbery.

Laws have been edited

- kill warrant for robbery with murder

- cops must have more evidence for a police search

“decent amount of suspicion that criminal activity is going on in the base“
This is so vague orange and it could be easily abused. I recommend you amend it further so police officers must have screenshots or video recording as it can easily lead to an abuse of power of police.
The building permit law has since not been changed. Orange I’m not saying it’s not a good idea but it won’t be put into practice? What are you going to get police to waste resources and raid every single base which hasn’t been issued a permit. I had a similar law as mayor and it backfired completely, it was a good idea but the community didn’t like it and the mods had to remove it eventually. Also moderators should not be mentioned in the law book, pleb told me when I was mayor they shouldn’t be involved with laws.

Ok :(

A) Warrants will be abused
B) Getting a moderator to remove buildings is not allowed. That's an OFFICER problem, not a moderator problem. We're only supposed to remove buildings if they are small and we have proper reason and authorization to do so.
I suggest you change these things. (I dont like the idea of kill warrants, as they're unrealistic. Irl you wouldn't be hunted and killed by any officer. You'd be hunted and eventually arrested, killing if necessary. They should really change it to arrest warrants).
Also, warrants.
Raiding in the past 5 minutes is also known as destruction of property, which is a max of 180 days and/or 1k fine. Restitution aside, I dont think you should have to be hunted down and killed by any new officer who just learned about warrants for it. Berry dealing is also known as narcotic trading, can last from a week to 10 years.
From WIkipedia:
It can be handed down for treason, espionage, murder, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempting to kill a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases; but all inmates currently under federal death sentences were condemned for aggravated murder. Executions performed by the federal government are infrequent compared to those performed by state governments.[1][2]
Meaning that on the federal scale (meaning nation-wide law), only MURDERERS in federal prisons get executed. State wide though, if the crime is severe enough, you can get the sentence for large scale drug trafficking (Drug lord level), robbery, murder, treason, robbery, espionage, etc etc.
Simply dealing one berry does not count as large scale drug trafficking lol.
Attempted bribery should not count
Raiding should not count, as irl it is an arrest (depending on severity) and/or fine, and restitution.
Robbing is not a kill warrant, it is an arrest.
Arrest evasion is also not a kill warrant. It's called failure to comply.
Now, murder can be classified as a kill warrant. But if you killed during a raid/kidnap/rob, the part where you did it during an event should not count to the total price of the kill warrant.
There are many things under "Kill Warrant" that you could put onto another section called "Arrest Warrant".
