== Searches and Warrants ==
A personnel search is a seizure of the objects in a person's backpack, hands, coat, belt and pockets. If any contraband is found during a search the officer may choose to further the search into a detainment or simply confiscate the restricted items. After the search is conducted all legal items are to be returned to the person. A crewmate may legally decline any search conducted without a warrant while the alert level is green. Should be noted that if the alert level is blue or above all personnel searches are legal and no longer require a warrant.

A departmental search is the sweep of an entire area/department for contraband. It is recommended the officers are extremely thorough, checking all lockers, crates and doors. These can only be done with a warrant signed by the according department head or highest standing command staff (the captain in most cases).

A warrant is a signed document stating security may search a specific person or place. A warrant regarding a personnel requested by a normal officer may be approved by the captain, HoS or the department head of the person being search, however a warrant requested by the HoS can not be approved by themselves. Warrants for department sweeps may be signed off by the department's head or the highest ranking command staff. The process of writing a document may be disregarded IF the appropriate command member accompanies the officers throughout their search.

Use common sense and humanity when issuing punishments. You should not always seek out the highest punishment you can, you don't have to always give the maximum time or always look to demote someone. Always take in account the severity and only charge for what is needed for someone to learn their lesson.
Use common sense and humanity when issuing punishments. Do not always seek out the highest punishment available, nor the maximum time or demotion. Always take into account the severity of the crime, and only charge what is needed for someone to learn their lesson.


'''Stackable Crimes:''' When working with confinement and extended confinement punishments, crimes are to be considered 'stackable' in the sense that if you charge someone with two or more different crimes, you should combine the times you would give them for each crime. Linked crimes, shown in matching colors on the Quick Crime Guide, can not be stacked and instead override each other, you should pick the highest crime that matches the case. Crimes are separate in the sense that you can charge for two or more counts of a crime if it is done to different departments/people, which would then allow you to stack the brig time for each count.

'''Repeaters:''' Repeated crimes are when someone is released for a crime and then goes to commit the same crime within the same shift. Repeated crimes can be charged with tacked-on time; first repeat: 3:00, second repeat: 6:00, third repeat: 9:00, fourth repeat: permanent confinement. The tacked-on time can extend over the normal confinement maximum time of 20 minutes without it being considered extended confinement. It should also be noted each tacked-on time is directly linked to one type of crime, so for say, if someone does their first repeat of trespass and petty theft, you can charge them with an extra 4 minutes.

'''Accessory and Attempting:''' If someone intentionally, knowingly and substantially assists someone in enacting a crime they can be charged with the relevant crimes, such as an engineer giving someone tools, who says they are going to break into an area. Same goes for a clear and solid attempt at a crime, such as a syndicate nuclear operative arming a nuke but getting arrested before it goes off, they can still be charged with terrorism. Does not apply to crimes that have an attempted listing already, like attempted murder.

'''Court:''' All major punishments can be fought against by the accused in a court case. While court isn't necessary to follow through with the punishment, every prisoner being subject to a major punishment MUST be told their right to a trial. The prisoner may request their case be heard in court at any point during their sentence and it must be fulfilled (as long as there is an able lawyer present on the crew). If the trial does not end in their favor, security may proceed with their punishment and the prisoner can not request a second court hearing. A court case additionally can be delayed and handled at CentCom if the evacuation shuttle is on route, this will not allow you to follow through with things like execution without a hearing.

Space Law

On Space Station 14, stations operate under abbreviated space law. All crew, passengers, and visitors aboard the station are expected to know and follow these laws (they are fairly common sense, only security and the captain need to know the times).

Treatment Of Prisoners

Prisoners still have certain rights that must be upheld by law enforcement:

  • Prisoners must be granted adequate medical care. They should also be provided psychiatric and spiritual counselling if requested.
  • Prisoners must be allowed access to communications equipment (Radios) so long as they are not abused.
  • Prisoners must be granted clothing, food, water, shelter and safety. If the brig is no longer safe, confinement must be established in another location.
  • Prisoners must be given access to legal counsel during an interrogation if requested and available.
  • Prisoners must be given their shift mandated PDA after confinement has finished.
  • Prisoners must be granted freedom of movement, and should not be restrained with handcuffs or other devices after incarceration unless there is an undue risk to life and limb. Similarly, any prisoners held for extended or permanent confinement should be held in the communal brig, and should not be confined to a solitary cell unless they pose a risk to life and limb.

Searches and Warrants

A personnel search is a seizure of the objects in a person's backpack, hands, coat, belt and pockets. If any contraband is found during a search the officer may choose to further the search into a detainment or simply confiscate the restricted items. After the search is conducted all legal items are to be returned to the person. A crewmate may legally decline any search conducted without a warrant while the alert level is green. If the alert level is blue or above, all personnel searches are legal and no longer require a warrant.

A departmental search is a sweep of an entire area/department for contraband. It is recommended the officers are extremely thorough; checking all lockers, crates and doors. A departmental search can only be done with a warrant signed by the according department head or highest standing command staff (the captain in most cases).

A warrant is a signed document stating security may search a specific person or place. A warrant regarding a personnel search requested by a normal officer may be approved by the captain, HoS or the department head of the person being searched. A warrant requested by the HoS can not be approved by themselves. Warrants for department sweeps may be signed off by the department's head or the highest ranking command staff. The process of writing a document may be disregarded IF the appropriate command member accompanies the officers throughout their search.

Sentencing

All sentencing is to be handled by the Warden. If no Warden is available the HoS is to take over that duty, and if no HoS is available it falls onto the highest ranking command member.

Use common sense and humanity when issuing punishments. Do not always seek out the highest punishment available, nor the maximum time or demotion. Always take into account the severity of the crime, and only charge what is needed for someone to learn their lesson.

Stackable Crimes: When working with confinement and extended confinement punishments, crimes are to be considered 'stack-able' in the sense that if you charge someone with two or more different crimes, you should combine the times you would give them for each crime. Linked crimes, shown in matching colors on the Quick Crime Guide, can not be stacked and instead override each other, meaning you should pick the highest crime that matches the case. Crimes are separate in that you can charge for two or more counts of a crime if done to different departments/people. This would then allow you to stack the brig time for each count.

Repeaters: Repeated crimes are when someone is released for a crime and then commits the same crime within the same shift. Repeated crimes can be charged with tacked-on time; first repeat: 3:00, second repeat: 6:00, third repeat: 9:00, fourth repeat: permanent confinement. The tacked-on time can extend over the normal confinement maximum time of 20 minutes without it being considered extended confinement. Each tacked-on time is directly linked to one type of crime. As an example, if someone does their first repeat of trespass and petty theft, you can charge them with an extra 4 minutes.

Accessory and Attempting: If someone intentionally, knowingly and substantially assists someone in enacting a crime, they can be charged with the relevant crimes, such as an engineer giving tools to someone stating they are going to break into an area. This also applies for a clear and solid attempt at a crime, such as a syndicate nuclear operative arming a nuke but getting arrested before it goes off. The syndicate nuclear operative can still be charged with terrorism. However, this does not apply to crimes that have an attempted listing already, like attempted murder.

Court: All major punishments can be fought against by the accused in a court case. While court isn't necessary to follow through with the punishment, every prisoner subjected to a major punishment MUST be told their right to a trial. The prisoner may request their case be heard in court at any point during their sentence and it must be fulfilled (as long as there is an able lawyer present on the crew). If the trial does not end in their favor, security may proceed with their punishment and the prisoner can not request a second court hearing. A court case can be delayed and handled at CentCom if the evacuation shuttle is on route, however this will not allow you to follow through with things like execution without a hearing.

Normal Punishments

  • Warning: For minor crimes, fix the issue then warn the person to not attempt the crime again. If they proceed to do it later in the same round, brig confinement may be issued against them.
  • Confinement: A typical punishment is being confined in a cell for a temporary amount of time according to the crimes, not exceeding 20 minutes, unless dealing with repeated crimes.
  • Demotion: Entails removing all departmental gear they have on their person and revoking the involved department access from their ID. This requires the captain's or involved department head's approval. Demotions should only be issued if the person poses a threat to their own department, or they are in a position where they have/can abuse the gear given by their job to commit further crimes.

Major Punishments

  • Extended Confinement: Being confined in the permanent brig for a temporary amount of time according to the crimes, exceeding 20 minutes. Max sentence is 45 minutes.
  • Permanent Confinement: Being held in the permanent brig for the entire duration of the shift. Any persons subject to this punishment are required to be transported in cuffs to CentCom at the end of the shift. A permanent prisoner can not be deprived of anything covered by the section "Treatment Of Prisoners".
  • Execution: A humane way of dealing with extremely unruly crewmates. A prisoner who has been given the death sentence may pick how they wish to be killed. Common methods are firing line, lethal injection, and high voltage electrocution. The remains are to be properly stored and transported to CentCom at the end of the shift. Execution can only be issued with the captain/acting captain's approval. If the HoS is acting captain or there is no acting captain, all heads of staff are to hold a vote on the matter.
