Subject: [PATCH] Space Law, Irons Out Xml's and Proposes Default Lawset
(#1386)
# Description
Wizard's lawset while good for LRP and NRP, doesn't serve perfectly
force MRP-HRP type servers as it is missing some common laws. I wish to
introduce a more encompassing lawset which while it's still a bit
underwork, should be fuller and more encompassing for what
Einstein-Engines is trying to do.
At the same time I have gone through some other entries in SpaceLaw
category and added colouring to Controlled and Restricted items, while
also adding further explanation of law categorization.
Documentation on the space law is
[here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kSJSmXltODHW-gpnUb3b-lDwbq-c8W21MopfDSEqfI4/edit?gid=1898009230#gid=1898009230).

+ Make sure you do not combine the same category of crimes, indicated by brackets.
+
+ ## Crime Modifiers
+ Crimes can be influenced by specific modifiers that adjust their severity, sentencing, or context.
+ These modifiers provide additional nuance to legal proceedings and ensure appropriate handling of offenses;
+ Based on circumstances such as intent, danger, or external factors.

+
+
+
+ M-01
+
+
+
+
+ Clear and Present Danger
+
+
+
+
+ Crimes Committed in the interest of saving life, property, or preventing a disaster may have their sentences reduced, voided, or expunged.
+
+
+
+
+ This modifier is primarily to cover situations such as breaking into an area one does not have access to, in the interest of saving someone's life or otherwise with good intent.
+
+
+
+
+ M-02
+
+
+
+
+ Elevated Sentencing
+
+
+
+
+ The scope of the crime(s), or repetitious behavior committed, warrant the charge be elevated to a higher offense for punishment in increments of one level per instance.
+
+
+
+
+ Primarily intended to be used after a few repetitions. This includes attacking security, heads of staff, or committing multiple instances of the same crime. Crimes charged with this modifier are exempt from punishment outside of confinement.
+
+
+
+
+ M-03
+
+
+
+
+ Self Defense
+
+
+
+
+ Actions taken to defend ones self from an assailant may have sentences reduced, voided, or expunged if the officer(s) involved deem that use of force reasonable.
+
+
+
+
+ This isn't a school. You can punch back, but don't be out of scale.
+
+
+
+
+ M-04
+
+
+
+
+ Non Compos Mentis
+
+
+
+
+ Those of unstable mind should be referred to medical treatment or, if required, forced cryogenic storage.
+
+
+
+
+ English: Insanity. This is intended to be applied to IC hypnosis, mind control, or otherwise actual incapacitation. IC 'insanity' is not an excuse for high crimes.
+
+
+
+
+ M-05
+
+
+
+
+ Griseo Maris
+
+
+
+
+ Coordinated behavior by those with no clear assigned duty which interrupts the normal function of any one department may lead to sentencing for any crimes committed during such actions to be increased in severity by one level for punishment.
+
+
+
+
+ English: Grey Tide. Go be useful you fucks.
+
+
+
+
+ M-06
+
+
+
+
+ Resisting Arrest
+
+
+
+
+ Knowingly resisting attempts at legal detention by members of the security team. It is advised that these individuals should have their sentences increased the recommended 20% of total duration.
+
+
+
+
+ Running will only increase your sentence.
+
+
+
+
+ M-07
+
+
+
+
+ Escaped Prisoner
+
+
+
+
+ Someone who has escaped their cell should be recaptured and returned to the brig. Their timer should be reset to the full length of the original sentence. The sentence can be bumped by up to 50% with this.
+
+
+
+
+ Escaping will only delay the inevitable.
+
+
+
+
+ M-08
+
+
+
+
+ Attempted crime
+
+
+
+
+ Anyone that tries to commit a crime but fails to achieve it, is to be charged under the relevant crime while recording that it was an attempt. A crime being an attempt can be downgraded to a lower offense for punishment in increments of one level per instance. This however does not bind in the case of repeated offender.
+
+
+
+
+ If a fact is too ambiguous, in that it is possible to both interpret it as the beginning of a crime and as a legal endeavor, then Security cannot charge with attempted crime.
+
+
+
+
+ ## Infractions
+ - The maximum sentence per Infraction is 2 minutes
+ - First time offenders should only receive a warning and be logged, but it is situationally dependant
+ - Also covers minor misdemeanors

On Space Station 14, stations operate under abbreviated space law. All crew, passengers, and visitors aboard the station are expected to follow these laws.
Foreign invaders, such as nuclear operatives, ninjas, and pirates, are not protected under space law. Traitors are not foreign invaders so are usually protected by space law.
+ Exceptions are made in cases of unnatural phenomena similar to changelings and heretics, where their humanity is put to question.
Space Law is not the server rules, but some rules reference Space Law and require it to be followed by certain people or to some degree.
## Treatment Of Prisoners
Prisoners still have certain rights that must be upheld by law enforcement:
- - Prisoners must be granted adequate medical care.
- - Prisoners must be allowed access to basic 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, unless there is solid proof of PDA tampering. In case of tampering, the PDA is to be secured and replaced with a new unit.
- - 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 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.

## Search and Seizure
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 probable cause or a warrant while the alert level is green. It should be noted that if the alert level is blue or above, all personnel searches are legal.

[color=#a4885c]Stackable Crimes:[/color] 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.
- - Example: A suspect has committed a 2-01 (possession of restricted gear) and a 3-01 (possession of restricted weapons). The maximum sentence here would be 10 minutes due to them being linked crimes, and 3-01 is the greater crime.
- - Example 2: A suspect commits a 3-04 (Secure trespassing) and a 3-06 (manslaughter). Those crimes stack since they are not linked crimes. You could sentence for a maximum of 20 minutes, but context matters heavily, and maximum sentences should only be used for the worst offenders.

[color=#a4885c]Repeater Offenders:[/color] 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: permanent confinement. It should be noted each tacked-on time is directly linked to one type of crime, so for example, if someone does their first repeat of trespass and petty theft, you can charge them with an extra 6 minutes.
[color=#a4885c]Accessory, Attempting, And Intention:[/color] 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, or a person who shows clear intent to act out 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.
+ ## Categories of Crime
+ Space Law divides offenses into several categories based on severity and nature. These include:
+ - [color=yellow][bold]Minor Infractions[/bold][/color]: Non-critical disruptions or low-impact crimes.
+ - [color=orange][bold]Moderate Crimes[/bold][/color]: Actions with moderate consequences, affecting individuals or station operations.
+ - [color=red][bold]Major Crimes[/bold][/color]: Severe breaches of safety, security, or operational integrity.
+ - [color=purple][bold]Capital Crimes[/bold][/color]: Offenses warranting the most serious consequences, including potential execution or permanent confinement.
+
## Normal Punishments
- - [color=#a4885c]Warning:[/color] For minor crimes, fix the issue, then warn the person not to attempt the crime again. If they still proceed to do it at a later date, a brig time may be better.
- - [color=#a4885c]Confinement:[/color] The typical punishment, being confined in a cell for a temporary amount of time according to the crimes.
- - [color=#a4885c]Demotion:[/color] Entails removing all departmental gear they have on their person and revoking the involved department access off their ID. This requires the captain's or involved department head's approval. Demotions should only be issued if the person pose a threat to their own department or are in a position where they have/can abuse their job's gear to commit further crimes.

## Major Punishments
[color=#a4885c]Permanent Confinement:[/color] Being held in the permanent brig for the entire duration of the shift. A person is eligible for permanent confinement if their timed sentence would exceed 15 minutes. Any persons subject to this punishment are required to be transported in cuffs to CentComm at the end of the shift. A permanent prisoner can not be deprived of anything covered by the section "Treatment Of Prisoners".
[color=#a4885c]Execution:[/color] 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, exile, and high voltage electrocution. Another alternate method of "execution" is the process of placing a staff's mind into a borg, this is allowed so long as it is lawful. Execution can only be issued with the captain's or 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.
+ ## Amendments and Exceptions
+ Space Law can be amended or overridden under specific circumstances:
+ - Emergency Situations: Command staff may implement temporary measures to restore order.
+ - Central Command Overrides: Directives from Central Command supersede Space Law where applicable.
+ - Executive Discretion: Captains and Heads of Staff have limited authority to interpret and enforce laws based on context.
+
## Restricted Items
Items in the lists are preceded by an indication of which department or job is legally allowed to use or possess the item on most stations. The station captain may modify these lists as they see fit so long as they exercise due care and provide reasonable notification to the station. Members of command who oversee a department that is permitted to use a restricted item may issue permits to specific people outside of their department to use those items. "None" indicates that there are no departments or roles authorized to use or possess the item.
