San Andreas Penal Code 2018 [ACTIVE]

Hello,

As promised, the San Andreas Penal Code has been updated for 2018. Government Management and I went through the old penal code (2016 version) and made additions, removals and a tremendous amount of changes to existing entries. Some charges were consolidated or re-written for clarification, and some charges were re-defined to ensure there is no confusion in what justifies the charge being placed against an individual.

One of the most notable edits is that "Eluding a Peace Officer" charge has been changed back to "Evading a Peace Officer" and the sub-clauses have been split into individual charges to avoid confusion — High Performance Vehicle, Oversized Vehicle, Naval Vessel and so on. The age of consent has been upped to 18 years of age, and the age to drive has been defined as 16 years of age. More information on the charges it effects.

Please familiarise yourself with the changes, because this San Andreas Penal Code 2018 will be in effect 30/JAN/2018 onwards.

Here is a link to the current (soon to be out-dated) penal code: The San Andreas Penal Code of 2016.

Here is a link to the new penal code which comes into effect on the 30th of January: The San Andreas Penal Code of 2018.

If you spot any inconsistencies or mistakes, feel free to drop me a forum message and I'll amend them as soon as possible.

Here is the full list of edits, but you can also compare the 2016 version to the 2018 version yourself as both are available:
