A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping Gargle Blasters in the bar. More in depth interpretations of space law are required for such positions as the Lawyer, Warden, HoP, and the HoS. While it is unlikely that the officers will listen particularly closely to your protestations, it may be enough to lighten your sentence and avoid ill treatment by security. | A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the station.

The difference between High Negligence and Murder can be very hard to ascertain, and, when in doubt, you should default to the less serious crime. It is important to note though, that Assault and Aggravated Assault are mutually exclusive.

Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows: | Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows: | ||
# Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their Security Record may be updated. | |||
# Take the prisoner to a brig cell, set the time and activate the timer. | |||
# Enter the cell with the prisoner in tow, open the cell locker and hold the prisoner over it. | |||
# 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. | |||
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed. | |||
# Search the items removed and be sure to check the internals box in their backpack. | |||
# Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that were used to commit crimes. <br>These are to be placed in evidence, '''not left on the brig floor or your personal use''', until they can be returned to their rightful owners. | |||
# Close the locker and '''lock it'''. | |||
# Stun the prisoner, remove their cuffs, stun them again, pick up the cuffs then leave the cell. This may not be needed for cooperative prisoners | |||
# Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable. | |||

In the | In the instance of prisoners that have earned [[Labor Camp]] duty, you must dress them in orange overalls and assign them targets, based on their sentence, by getting a prison ID, putting it in a [[Prisoner Management Console]], assigning their quota (with a conversion rate of 100 points per minute otherwise served in the brig) and then giving them the ID as you ship them to the Labor Camp.

'''Surgical Procedures and Implants''' | |||
With specific regard to Hostile Agents, as per code 205, Nanotrasen Security division has been asked to provide a list of '''permissible''' actions which may not otherwise be taken for crimes of similar severity. | |||
* Tracking implants may be used without any additional conditions. | |||
* Chemical implants with '''non-lethal''' contents may be used if the agent has also been convicted of a violent crime. | |||
* Implant checks may only be performed <u>If there is definitive evidence that they have an implant.</u> This includes members of security witnessing implant use, finding implanters, or implant boxes with fingerprints or other related fibers. | |||
* Pacification surgery may be performed in the event the agent has also been convicted of a violent crime. | |||

In cases where the Death Penalty is desired but the Captain or Acting-Captain is unable or unwilling to authorize the execution a trial '''is required''' to authorize the death penalty. | |||
==== | Here are steps for a trial which shouldn't take too long to perform under most circumstances. | ||
# Determine you want a trial. Notify the lawyer to represent the defendant. | |||
# Establish a magistrate. Under normal conditions this will be the Head of Personnel. The chain of succession for this role shall be Head of Personnel, Research Director, Chief Medical officer, Chief Engineer, any Acting head of staff which is not the acting captain or acting head of security. The Quartermaster may sit in lieu of the head of personnel if requested by the head of personnel. | |||
# Present evidence from the defense and prosecution to the magistrate. | |||
# Magistrate reviews evidence and takes statements from witnesses. | |||
# If magistrate finds defendant guilty beyond reasonable doubt then convict. | |||
====Deputizing Procedure==== | |||
Crewmembers may be deputized in the event that there are not enough security personnel to effectively maintain the station's safety. Deputies should be interviewed prior to such assignment by the Head of Security. For their investiture to be lawfull the following basic procedure has to be followed. | |||
# Call for deputies | |||
# Search candidates for contraband or other disqualifying evidence. | |||
# Conduct an interview with the candidate | |||
# Generate a record of their acceptance or denial, provide a copy to the candidate. | |||
# Issue a kit of deputy equipment, including ID access extension card, armband, nightstick, handcuffs, and mindshield implant | |||
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. | |||
==== Enhanced Interrogation ==== | |||
According to SolGov legal codes, torture and other related techniques are outlawed for both the sake of gathering evidence and punishment purposes. | |||
While the local sector lies largely outside of SolGov's sphere of influence, various third-party observers to the local situation are looking for any excuse to cause Nanotrasen trouble by tipping off the statists in the Sol System. | |||
Since Nanotrasen does most of its business in the core systems, our accountants have determined that the potential legal costs that would be incurred in litigation with statist courts generally outweigh potential savings. | |||
As such, the use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques can sadly not be permitted. | |||
==== Regulations for Re-Education ==== | |||
There are various regulations that need to be considerd in the employment of brainwashing, of both internal and external reasoning. Brainwashing is outlawed under SolGov law as it has been determined to cause "personality death" (bah, humbug!). However, thanks to the stipulations of all Nanotrasen employee contracts, there are various loopholes that can be exploited. | |||
This leaves the possibility to employ these techniques as an alternative punishment in cases where permanent sentences, execution, or borging would normaly be used. Please consider which option will be the most profitable. Applying this sentencing requires the same approvals as a permanent sentence would. | |||
There is another catch, however. Our lawyers insist that for legal consistency only Nanotrasen developed methods of brainwashing may be employed, since the direct use of syndicate developed methods of brainwashing (or similar) would constitute the use of contraband, which is disallowed under our own laws. | |||
==== Misbehavior of prisoners ==== | |||
In the event of misbehavior, such as instigating fights or attempting to break out, prisoners in the general population cell will be issued an initial warning. Persistent offenders will be placed in solitary confinement for the rest of their sentence. Prisoners may contest their solitary confinement via a lawyer, subject to review by the warden or HOS. Should the prisoners sentence be permanent, a maximum time of 15 minutes at a time should be spent in solitary confinement. | |||
Additionally, in the event of an attempted prison break, Security is allowed to respond with force, even lethal force if the situation warrants it. They are expected to first fire a few warning shots before unloading their weapon into the target. Afterwards prisoners should be healed and then imprisoned again. Remember that breaking out is grounds for the sentence to start over, as per modifier M07. | |||
==== Use of Deadly Force ==== | |||
As a member of the stations 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 the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation. | |||
There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible: | |||
* '''Code Red Situation''' - situations which would warrant a Code Red, such as: full blown mutinies, hostile boarding parties, and Space Wizards automatically authorize lethal force. <br>Note: 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. | |||
* '''Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective''' - 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. | |||
* '''Severe Personal Risk''' - 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 Wizards and confirmed 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. | |||
* '''Armed and Dangerous''' - 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. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally. | |||
** Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets. | |||
* '''Multiple Hostiles''' - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. '''As a last resort''' if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground. | |||
* '''Uncontainable''' - if a prisoner turns out to be uncontainable and there is no way to contain them reliably, then a permanent sentence always warrants an execution. For example; unpreventable teleportation abilities or the ability to smash through reinforced walls and more. | |||

Space Law is a guideline.
Security is required to follow Space Law to a reasonable standard. There is leeway, but security should not issue sentences completely out of scale. |
Space Law is a collection of rules and regulations enacted by Nanotrasen which has oversight through CentCom and is enforced by the Sec Officers on the station. Space Law applies to all ranks and positions on station, from the lowliest Assistant to the highest Captain, all are equal under the eyes of the Law and ultimately answer to her.
The rules and regulations herein are not absolutes, instead they exist to serve mainly as guidelines for the law and order of the dynamic situations that exist for stations on the frontiers of space, as such some leeway (Up to 20% above or below the normal sentence time) is permitted and officially sanctioned.)

Interpretation of the Law
A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping Gargle Blasters in the bar. More in depth interpretations of space law are required for such positions as the Lawyer, Warden, HoP, and the HoS. While it is unlikely that the officers will listen particularly closely to your protestations, it may be enough to lighten your sentence and avoid ill treatment by security.
For certain crimes, the accused's intent is important. The difference between High Negligence and Murder can be very hard to ascertain, and, when in doubt, you should default to the less serious crime. It is important to note though, that Assault and Aggravated Assault are mutually exclusive. You cannot be charged with Assault and Aggravated Assault from the same crime as the intent of each is different. Pay careful attention to the requirements of each law and select the one that best fits the crime when deciding sentence.
In the case of violent crimes (Assault, Manslaughter, Aggravated Assault and Murder), and theft (Pickpocketing, Theft, Larceny, and Grand Larceny) take only the most severe.
A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took three items off of someone, this is a single count of pick-pocketing, if they pick-pocketed two people this would be two separate counts of pick-pocketing, and so on.
In the event the convict has been found guilty of multiple crimes the security officer should assign the sentence appropriate to the highest crime committed. This means if someone is guilty of assault and inciting a riot, the prisoner should be confined for a major crime sentence.
Aiding a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with conspiracy if not the same crime as the person you aided.
Brig Procedures
Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows:
- Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their Security Record may be updated.
- Take the prisoner to a brig cell, set the time and activate the timer.
- Enter the cell with the prisoner in tow, open the cell locker and hold the prisoner over it.
- 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.
- Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
- Search the items removed and be sure to check the internals box in their backpack.
- Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that were used to commit crimes.
These are to be placed in evidence, not left on the brig floor or your personal use, until they can be returned to their rightful owners. - Close the locker and lock it.
- Stun the prisoner, remove their cuffs, stun them again, pick up the cuffs then leave the cell. This may not be needed for cooperative prisoners
- Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable.
Note: In the event all cells are full parole the prisoner with the least time remaining on their sentence.
Do NOT fully strip the prisoner unless they have earned a permanent sentence.
In the instance of prisoners that have earned Labor Camp duty, you must dress them in orange overalls and assign them targets, based on their sentence, by getting a prison ID, putting it in a Prisoner Management Console, assigning their quota (with a conversion rate of 100 points per minute otherwise served in the brig) and then giving them the ID as you ship them to the Labor Camp. There are more details on this procedure at Labor Camp.**
NOTE: In the current revision of Bee, Mineral spawn is heavily reduced in the gulag area. If you plan on using the gulag for several incidences [meaning the floors are already mined so people can't mine the floors for glass], you should use a lower conversion rate.
The Warden or Head of Security are responsible for placing prisoners and in permanent confinement.
- Permanent Prisoners are to be completely stripped of their belongings, which are to be held in either evidence or a prison locker.
- The prisoner is to be dressed in an Orange Prison Jumpsuit and Shoes, which are found in the prison lockers.
- Permanent Prisoners are not permitted to possess any personal belongings whilst they are incarcerated in the Prison Wing.
- The Labor Camp can also be used to hold Permanent Prisoners. Simply do not issue a prisoner ID when transferring them to the camp.
Surgical Procedures and Implants
With specific regard to Hostile Agents, as per code 205, Nanotrasen Security division has been asked to provide a list of permissible actions which may not otherwise be taken for crimes of similar severity.
- Tracking implants may be used without any additional conditions.
- Chemical implants with non-lethal contents may be used if the agent has also been convicted of a violent crime.
- Implant checks may only be performed If there is definitive evidence that they have an implant. This includes members of security witnessing implant use, finding implanters, or implant boxes with fingerprints or other related fibers.
- Pacification surgery may be performed in the event the agent has also been convicted of a violent crime.
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, however 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.
If the lawyer continuously acts as a disruptive influence Security are fully permitted to confiscate their access, remove them from the brig and bar their future access to it.
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 > Sec Officer / Detective.
Trials are not to be performed for Timed Sentences. 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 or Acting-Captain is unable or unwilling to authorize the execution a trial is required to authorize the death penalty.
Here are steps for a trial which shouldn't take too long to perform under most circumstances.
- Determine you want a trial. Notify the lawyer to represent the defendant.
- Establish a magistrate. Under normal conditions this will be the Head of Personnel. The chain of succession for this role shall be Head of Personnel, Research Director, Chief Medical officer, Chief Engineer, any Acting head of staff which is not the acting captain or acting head of security. The Quartermaster may sit in lieu of the head of personnel if requested by the head of personnel.
- Present evidence from the defense and prosecution to the magistrate.
- Magistrate reviews evidence and takes statements from witnesses.
- If magistrate finds defendant guilty beyond reasonable doubt then convict.
Deputizing Procedure
Crewmembers may be deputized in the event that there are not enough security personnel to effectively maintain the station's safety. Deputies should be interviewed prior to such assignment by the Head of Security. For their investiture to be lawfull the following basic procedure has to be followed.
- Call for deputies
- Search candidates for contraband or other disqualifying evidence.
- Conduct an interview with the candidate
- Generate a record of their acceptance or denial, provide a copy to the candidate.
- Issue a kit of deputy equipment, including ID access extension card, armband, nightstick, handcuffs, and mindshield implant
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.
Enhanced Interrogation
According to SolGov legal codes, torture and other related techniques are outlawed for both the sake of gathering evidence and punishment purposes.
While the local sector lies largely outside of SolGov's sphere of influence, various third-party observers to the local situation are looking for any excuse to cause Nanotrasen trouble by tipping off the statists in the Sol System.
Since Nanotrasen does most of its business in the core systems, our accountants have determined that the potential legal costs that would be incurred in litigation with statist courts generally outweigh potential savings.
As such, the use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques can sadly not be permitted.
Regulations for Re-Education
There are various regulations that need to be considerd in the employment of brainwashing, of both internal and external reasoning. Brainwashing is outlawed under SolGov law as it has been determined to cause "personality death" (bah, humbug!). However, thanks to the stipulations of all Nanotrasen employee contracts, there are various loopholes that can be exploited.
This leaves the possibility to employ these techniques as an alternative punishment in cases where permanent sentences, execution, or borging would normaly be used. Please consider which option will be the most profitable. Applying this sentencing requires the same approvals as a permanent sentence would.
There is another catch, however. Our lawyers insist that for legal consistency only Nanotrasen developed methods of brainwashing may be employed, since the direct use of syndicate developed methods of brainwashing (or similar) would constitute the use of contraband, which is disallowed under our own laws.
Misbehavior of prisoners
In the event of misbehavior, such as instigating fights or attempting to break out, prisoners in the general population cell will be issued an initial warning. Persistent offenders will be placed in solitary confinement for the rest of their sentence. Prisoners may contest their solitary confinement via a lawyer, subject to review by the warden or HOS. Should the prisoners sentence be permanent, a maximum time of 15 minutes at a time should be spent in solitary confinement.
Additionally, in the event of an attempted prison break, Security is allowed to respond with force, even lethal force if the situation warrants it. They are expected to first fire a few warning shots before unloading their weapon into the target. Afterwards prisoners should be healed and then imprisoned again. Remember that breaking out is grounds for the sentence to start over, as per modifier M07.
Use of Deadly Force
As a member of the stations 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 the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation.
There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
- Code Red Situation - situations which would warrant a Code Red, such as: full blown mutinies, hostile boarding parties, and Space Wizards automatically authorize lethal force.
Note: 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. - Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective - 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.
- Severe Personal Risk - 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 Wizards and confirmed 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.
- Armed and Dangerous - 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. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally.
- Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.
- Multiple Hostiles - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. As a last resort if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground.
- Uncontainable - if a prisoner turns out to be uncontainable and there is no way to contain them reliably, then a permanent sentence always warrants an execution. For example; unpreventable teleportation abilities or the ability to smash through reinforced walls and more.
Modifiers
Circumstances that may be applied to incidents or crimes depending on circumstance.
Code | Crime | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
M01 | 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. |
M02 | Elevated Sentencing | The scope of the crime(s), or repeticious behavior commited, warrant the charge be elevated to a higher offence 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. |
M03 | Self Defense | Actions taken to defend ones self from an assailent 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. |
M04 | 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. |
M05 | 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. |
M06 | 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. |
M07 | 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. | Escaping will only delay the inevitable. |
M08 | 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 warrants the charge be downgraded to a lower offence for punishment in increments of one level per instance. | 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 endeavour, then Security cannot charge with attempted crime. |
