+ +# General Procedure + + - 1. Security is generally expected to follow [textlink="Security Standard Operating Procedure" link="SecSOP"] according to the alert level. Violations of SOP are not outright illegal but are legal grounds for investigation, citations, or demotion. + + - 2. Confiscated items must be placed in evidence or returned to their rightful owners, not left on the brig floor or taken for your personal use. + + - 3. Security is prohibited from using most Syndicate contraband outside of dire situations. For more information, read the Use of Contraband section of [textlink="SOP" link="SecSOP"]. + + - 4. Intent is important in determining the level of some crimes.\nIf intent cannot be determined, the lesser charge should be given. + + - 5. Criminals who commit multiple crimes may have charges stacked, at security's discretion. The sentences for multiple crimes should run consecutively, not concurrently. Charges in the same row should not be stacked for the same arrest; instead, charge the crew member with the highest applicable offense per row. + + - 6. If a brig sentence totals over 10 mins, the prisoner should be allowed to remain in the permabrig for the duration of the timer instead of a cell. + + - 7. If a crew member is de-converted from revolutionary or cult groups, all charges related to their time in the organization should be dropped, and they should be given a mindshield (if possible). + + - 8. The warden is responsible for ensuring that all prisoners are safe and that the brig is secure. Failure to do this can result in demotion. + + - 9. A crew member cannot be held for more than 10 minutes without being sentenced. If 10 minutes elapses and no evidence is provided, the crew member should be set free.[italic]Any time spent in processing this way should also be subtracted from the final sentence.[/italic] + + - 10. Officers are expected to know Space Law.\nOfficers who are seen to not know the law can be demoted. + +## Arrest Procedure + + + + Please note that acceptable arrest procedures may vary by alert level as per security's [textlink="Security Standard Operating Procedure" link="SecSOP"] - however, generally most arrests should follow this pattern. + + - 1. Stop the criminal and inform them that they are wanted, and why they are wanted. This is void if they are visibly armed, or in the process of committing a serious crime, including trespassing in a high security area. + + - 2. If compliant, cuff and transport the prisoner to the brig immediately and without harming them, and proceed to brigging procedures. You may utilize departmental security outposts to search compliant suspects or prisoners. + + - 3. If resistant to arrest, use your nonlethal weaponry until such a situation may prompt use of lethal force, detailed in the Use of Deadly Force section. If successful, transport the prisoner immediately to the brig and begin brigging procedure. + + - 4. You can use the security mask to request a moving criminal to stop. You may also present weapons, point, and issue verbal orders during arrests to encourage compliance. + +## Arresting a Head of Staff + + + + - 1. Warrants for heads of staff must be approved by the Head of Security, Captain, or Centcom [bold]unless they have clearly committed a crime.[/bold] + + - 2. Warrants for the Captain must be agreed to by majority vote within the Heads of Staff unless the captain has plainly committed a crime. + + - 3. Demotion of a command member and promotion of acting command must be approved by the Captain. + + It can safely be assumed that a Head of Staff is threatening to arrest. Bring backup. + +#Punishments + +##Brigging + + + +The Warden, Head of Security, and Captain all share authority over the brig. Brigging procedures are primarily the job of the Warden, but can be done by the arresting officer should the warden be unavailable. + +Standard procedure for brigging is as follows: + + - 1. Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their security record may be updated. + + - 2. Take the prisoner to a brig cell, [bold]set the time and activate the timer.[/bold]\n[italic]This only applies to non-genpop stations.[/italic] + + - 3. Enter the cell with the prisoner in tow, open the cell locker and hold the prisoner over it. + + - 4. Empty their pockets and remove their gloves, backpacks, tool belt, gas masks, and any flash resistant equipment such as Sunglasses, Welding Masks/Goggles, Space Helmets, etc. [bold]Do not remove their jumpsuit. Do not remove life sustaining equipment. (Internals and masks)[/bold] + + - 5. Buckle the prisoner to the bed. + + - 6. Search the items removed and be sure to check any boxes in their backpack. + + - 7. Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that were used to commit crimes. + + - 8. Close the locker and [bold]lock it.[/bold] + + - 9. Stun the prisoner, remove their cuffs, stun them again, pick up the cuffs then leave the cell. Stunning may not be needed for cooperative prisoners. + + - 10. Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable. + +##Invasive Implants and Surgeries + + + +The following are a list of permissible actions regarding the use of invasive implants and surgical procedures, which may not otherwise be taken for crimes of similar severity. Remember that only up to 2 security implants can be used on one suspect at a time. + +Implants and surgical procedures are primarily intended for use on Enemies of the Corporation as defined in code 305, although there are several exceptions as detailed below. + + - [color=red][bold]Tracking implants[/bold][/color] may,[bold] and should be[/bold], used without any additional conditions on anyone charged with 305 EOTC or 314 Inciting a Riot. + - Tracking implants may also be used on the following: anyone convicted of a Grand Felony or above, any stowaway or off-manifest person allowed to reside on the station, or suspected changelings or clones. + + - Implant checks for illegal syndicate implants may only be performed [italic]if there is [bolditalic]definitive[/bolditalic] evidence that they have an implant.[/italic] This includes members of security witnessing implant use, finding implanters, or implant boxes with fingerprints or other related fibers. + - Implant checks should be performed before any outfitting with security implants, to avoid accidental removal of the legal implants. + + - Security should [bold]not[/bold] remove the limbs of prisoners as a method of punishment or containment. Exceptions may be made for suspects with surgically grafted weapons, armblades, etc. + +Anyone who illegally removes security implants, or reverses the effects of legally undertaken surgical procedures, may be charged with 405 De-Implantation and sentenced accordingly. + +##Permabrigging + + + +Authorization for permabrigging must be given by the Head of Security, Warden, or Captain.\nIf all 3 of these individuals are not assigned, dead, missing, or otherwise rendered incapable of providing authorization, The Acting Captain or Acting Head of Security may authorize a permabrigging in their stead.\nOtherwise, crew members should be released after the 10 minute grace period for processing time has elapsed. + + - 1. Prisoners must be cuffed, and their ID must be terminated. + + - 2. Prisoners must be stripped of all belongings. Said belongings must be placed in one of the prisoner gear lockers.[bold]Do not remove life sustaining equipment.[/bold] + + - 3. Prisoners must be clothed in a prisoner uniform and shoes and given a Prisoner ID.[italic] Genpop will automatically deploy one.[/italic] + + - 4. Prisoners must be brought to the Permabrig area by the Warden or HoS and the doors closed properly behind them. + + - 5. Prisoners must be buckle-cuffed to one of the beds. + + - 6. Prisoner must have his cuffs removed and the cuffs recovered before the officers leave. + +##Execution + + + +Outside of dire emergencies, authorization for executions must be given by by the Head of Security or Captain.\nIf either is not assigned, dead, missing, or otherwise rendered incapable of providing authorization, the Acting Captain or Acting Head of Security may authorize an execution in their stead.\nShould none of these individuals be able to provide authorization, it must come from Central Command.[bold] Without authorization, executions are Murder.[/bold] + + - 1. Prisoners must be cuffed, and their ID must be terminated. + + - 2. Prisoners must be stripped of all belongings and placed in one of the prisoner gear lockers, and the prisoner equipped with standard prisoner uniform. + + - 3. Prisoners must be brought to the Prisoner Transfer room. + + - 4. Prisoners must be read their charges and allowed their final words. + + - 5. Prisoners must be quickly and humanely executed. + + - 6. It is advised, but not required, to have a Brig Physician in attendance to verify death. A chaplain may be present to give last rites. + + [bolditalic]When an execution is authorized by the HoS, the HoS is[color=red] REQUIRED[/color] to inform the Captain/Acting Captain. The Captain or Acting Captain can veto an execution at any time for any reason he see fit.\nProceeding with an execution after a Captain veto is murder. [/bolditalic] + + - 7. Update the security and medical records of the executed prisoner. + +Though not mandatory, it is recommended that all executed prisoners be considered for borgification post-execution. + +#Security Policies and Practices + +##Deputizing Procedure + + + +Crew members may be deputized in the event that there are not enough security personnel to effectively maintain the station's safety.\nDeputies should be interviewed prior to such assignment by the Head of Security. For their investiture to be lawful, the following basic procedure has to be followed: + + - 1. Call for deputies. + + - 2. Search candidates for contraband or other disqualifying evidence. + + - 3. Conduct an interview with the candidate. + + - 4. Modify the deputy's ID with additional access, if possible. + + - 5. Issue a kit of deputy equipment, including baton, handcuffs, and mindshield implant. + +[italic]Deputies have full police powers equivalent to a Security Officer to arrest and search suspicious individuals, however as they are not fully trained members of the security team it is advisable that for conviction more evidence exist beyond their sole testimony.[/italic] + +##Legal Representation and Trials + + + + +Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation; however, you are under no obligation to provide or allow this. + +Lawyers, and by extension the Head of Personnel, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the judicial process, but they have zero authority over the brig, security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing. + +The lawyer's security headset is a privilege not a right. Security personnel are under no requirement to listen to them, and security channel abuse is to result in that privilege being revoked.\nIf the lawyer continuously acts as a disruptive influence, security personnel are fully permitted to confiscate their access & headset, remove them from the brig, and bar their future access to it. + +[bolditalic]In instances where a conflict of opinion arises over the sentence of a prisoner the chain of command must be followed. This goes, from top to bottom: Captain > Head of Security > Warden > Security Officer.[/bolditalic] + +[color=red]Trials are not to be performed for timed sentences.[/color] This is mainly for the benefit of the accused as trials will often run many times the length of the actual sentence. + +Trials may be performed for capital crimes and permanent detention; however, there is no requirement to hold them. Forensic evidence, witness testimony, or confessions are all that is required for the Head of Security, Warden, or Captain to authorize their sentence. + +In cases where the death penalty is desired but the Captain/Acting Captain or HoS/Acting HoS is either absent or unable/unwilling to authorize the execution, a trial is [bold]required[/bold] to authorize the death penalty. + +##Use of Deadly Force + + + +As a member of the station's security force, you are one of the best armed and protected people on the station, equipped with the almost latest in non-lethal takedown technology. + +It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of deadly force are few and far between. In most circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons to diffuse a situation. + +There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible: + + - [color=red]Code Red Situation[/color] - Situations which would warrant a code red, such as: full blown mutinies, cults, hostile boarding parties, and space wizards automatically authorize lethal force.\nNote: The alert status is not required to be elevated to code red as in most of these scenarios the chain of command will be too damaged or otherwise occupied to raise the alert level. + + - [color=blue]Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective[/color] - Certain targets are impervious to NLWs, such as mechs, xenomorphs, borgs, and hulks. Lethal force may be used against these targets if they prove hostile until they are incapacitated. + + - [color=#505050]Severe Personal Risk[/color] - Sometimes getting close enough to a target to slap the cuffs on will create significant personal risk to the officer. Deadly force from range is recommended to subdue hostile wizards and changelings. + - Criminals in hostile environments such as space, fire, or plasma leaks also fall into this category, as do criminals believed to be in possession of high explosives. Ranged lethal force is the only reasonable option in these conditions. + + - [color=yellow]Armed and Dangerous[/color] - If a suspect is in possession of weapons, including stun weapons, and you have reasonable suspicion that they will use these against you, lethal force is permitted. However, it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally. + + - [color=orange]Multiple Hostiles[/color] - It can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. As a last resort, you may use lethal arms to thin the crowd. + +[bolditalic]Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered to be armed and dangerous by default. Maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.[/bolditalic] + +In general, if it is possible to capture personnel non-lethally you should. If you do not, expect to have to justify yourself to your superiors to not get fired, and CentralCommand to permanently reevaluate asignmend in such duties. + +Criminals detained using lethal means should be treated or posthumously revived if possible, unless they would already be qualified for normal execution.\nThe Head of Security or Captain must still approve these Do-Not-Revive orders as they would approve a normal execution. + +##Priority Threats + +Priority threats currently include: + + + + + + + + + + + + + +[bold]Deconversion[/bold] should always be the top priority whenever possible. Execution of revolutionaries and cultists is only authorized when deconversion is not possible or poses too significant of a risk. +\nFor targets who pose too great a threat to detain, immediate field execution is authorized. Head of Security or Captain approval is not needed for priority threat executions, although they should still be informed as soon as possible. + +##Accesory, Conspiracy, and Attempted Charges + + + +###Accessory + - Accessory charges can be given to anyone who assists a criminal in committing a crime. This can include directly assisting in the crime or otherwise assisting the criminal while they are committing it.\nThe sentence for accessory charges can be the same as the original criminal up to and including execution.\nFor more broad cases of assisting criminals, you should charge with Aiding and Abetting instead. This can also be applied to crew members who are masters of golems or pAIs if those creations commit a crime. + +###Conspiracy + - Conspiracy charges can be given to anyone who can be proven to have knowingly planned, either alone or with others, in the interest of committing a crime in the future. This is usually proven via radio or PDA communication records. Conspiracy charges should be sentenced at one level lower than the normal charge; for example, Conspiracy to Commit Grand Theft would be sentenced as a Felony, not a Grand Felony. + - [italic]The exception is Murder; Conspiracy to Murder is charged the same as Murder.[/italic] + +###Attempted + - Attempted charges can be given to anyone who can be proven to have attempted a crime but were unable to complete it for whatever reason.\nFor this charge to apply, the suspect must have taken a material act towards the commission of the crime - merely planning is not enough (that would be a Conspiracy charge instead).\nCatching and detaining someone in the middle of committing a crime would be an example. + + - Security should be careful to not charge this recklessly; suspicion alone is not enough. Attempted charges should be sentenced at the same level as the crime would be normally + + - [italic]Note that 402 Attempted Murder is its own separate charge and has special considerations for when it should be charged - see the [textlink="crime description" link="SpaceLawCrimeList"] for details.[/italic] From 56eeef0aab943a40f2f450e8b34198aecfd51367 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Blumbee <4587995+blumbee82@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 20:43:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Added crime list, removed exile mentions --- Resources/Prototypes/Guidebook/security.yml | 16 +- .../ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml | 1035 +++++++++++++---- .../ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SpaceLaw.xml | 8 +- 3 files changed, 794 insertions(+), 265 deletions(-) diff --git a/Resources/Prototypes/Guidebook/security.yml b/Resources/Prototypes/Guidebook/security.yml index 01644c96002..c2f26399822 100644 --- a/Resources/Prototypes/Guidebook/security.yml +++ b/Resources/Prototypes/Guidebook/security.yml @@ -23,16 +23,14 @@ name: guide-entry-criminal-records text: "/ServerInfo/Guidebook/Security/CriminalRecords.xml" -# Monkestation edit start - disable default space law - type: guideEntry id: SpaceLaw name: guide-entry-rules-space-law text: "/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SpaceLaw.xml" -# children: -# - SpaceLawCrimeList -# -#- type: guideEntry -# id: SpaceLawCrimeList -# name: guide-entry-rules-sl-crime-list -# text: "/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml" -# Monkestation end + children: + - SpaceLawCrimeList + +- type: guideEntry + id: SpaceLawCrimeList + name: guide-entry-rules-sl-crime-list + text: "/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml" diff --git a/Resources/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml b/Resources/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml index fe7fc75b8ab..97a791a40b7 100644 --- a/Resources/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml +++ b/Resources/ServerInfo/Guidebook/ServerRules/SpaceLaw/SLCrimeList.xml @@ -1,248 +1,509 @@ + + - # Space Law: Crime Listing - Crime codes are colored by linked crime groups, which are classifications of crimes that are similar in nature.
