Civil Protection Overview

Clarification

NEGOTIATIONS

Units are both permitted and encouraged to negotiate with suspects in custody or on scene pending arrest for vital information or details on accomplices.

Any sort of information that is useful to Civil Protection or leads to an arrest, allows you to be more lenient in their sentencing.

Prosecutor may decide the means which a suspect is punished by adjusting the severity of the containment cycles and civic deed reduction (Less time in containment, less CVD deducted.)

A sentence can only be lessened, never waived away, with no exceptions. See below:

DOCUMENT : 15 - 20 PENALTY POINTS
CONTAIN : 4 - 8 CYCLES

This indicates you may assign anywhere from 15 to 20 penalty points AND contain the individual from anywhere from 4 to 8 cycles.

In the scenario you have three options:

1. Subject is cooperative and has provided you with information. You issue them the minimum sentence of 4 cycles and assign -15 points. 
2. Subject was cooperative but was unable to provide any meaningful. You issue them 6 cycles and -18 points.
3. Subject is uncooperative or providing you with false information. You are able to issue them maximum of 8 cycles and assign -20 points.

PERMANENT RE-LOCATION

Permanent re-location disposes anti-citizens by relocating them to the fortress prison of Nova Prospekt.

This can be achieved by tying up citizens and loading them into the prisoner transport truck.

Note that this results in a permanent-kill.

Terminal Verdict

Terminal verdict is the highest form of punishment available to citizens.

Important note: This does not result in a character kill outside judgement waiver.

If an individual meets the criteria for receiving PERMANENT-RELOCATION then terminal verdict may be administered if ANY of the following conditions are met:

  -Subject is armed and dangerous, and units are unable to capture the target without risking their life
  -Subject is in a restricted zone or about to flee into one.
  -Ordered by Dispatch or RL
  -Fractured (RED) socio-stability
  -Re-administration protocol
  -Judgement waiver/Void

Example: A citizen resisting arrest qualifies them for PERMANENT-RELOCATION, attempting to flee into a 603 zone qualifies them for terminal prosecution

Civil Codes & Verdicts

One cycle equals one hour in-game time.

Malcompliance citation is the act of pacifying unruly citizens to remind them of the civil codes.

Penalty points are negative CVD entries on biopad.

Never charge a citizen based on another citizens word. You need sufficient proof. A citizen blaming their injuries on another character is not sufficient.

If a citizen is bleeding or near death during containment, apply a stimdose to ensure they stay alive for the duration of their cycle.

Do not cycle Biotics as are always charged under SOCIO-ENDANGERMENT LEVEL FIVE.

When charging a citizen, state any of the following (Falls under cohesive chatter rule) :

YOU ARE CHARGED WITH  | VIOLATION CODE XX | VIOLATION NAME | VERDICT
Example: Citizen, you are charged with city violation code 15: movement transgression. Prepare to receive civil judgement.
Example: Suspect, you are charged with violation code 603: unlawful entry. Your sentence is five cycles.
Example: Anti-citizen, you are charged with city violation code 243: assault on protection team. Your sentence is permanent-relocation.
