[[Space Law]] is the law on the station. Yes you heard it right, Security isn't the law.

			As a Security Officer, you are expected to enforce [[Space Law]] to the best of your capabilites. Space Law is a guideline, not a suggestion. While there are some leeway and some room for interpretation, outright ignoring it makes you liable to sanctions from the admins.

			==Citations and Fines==
			For minor crimes you may choose to give the culprit a citation (containing a fine) instead of brig time. Officers can issue a citation and a fine (up to 1000 credits) from a security records console. If you get a citation, a PDA message will alert you how much the fine is. You can pay your fines at any security warrant console, located outside the brig, in a law office, or the courtroom public area.

			Not paying a fine has no automatic consequences.
