San Andreas Penal Code Rev. 1.0 (06/12/12)

Post by Laos_Macen » Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:05 pm

it's that time of the year again

NOT IN EFFECT - FOR INPUT ONLY

Below is the penal code - before you read it, some important notes.

1. new system uses minutes completely, no more hours for LSP and minutes for jail
2. Road Law is now part of the penal code and super simplified to remove silly rules and make it easier for people to understand it
3. most laws have been adjusted to be simply
4. crimes now offer time ranges - only certain situations require you use the maximum time automatically. the rest of the time you are supposed to use the minimum unless they are a non-compliant suspect, or other reasons to justify a higher time within the range.
5. new amendments section will be for adding laws as we go so we dont have to do a re-write every year
6. Time is raised to 15 hours max
7. Read EVERYTHING before commenting please! Also note that flaming, arguing, and overall stupidity will not be tolerated in this thread.

This is the point where you can give open input to the new penal code - remember to be respectful. All questions will be answered and posted in the original post for reference.

(( I believe that it is unfair to change the penal code all the sudden to the public, who say serves prison right now for PC407, and being prisoned for twenty four hours, and all the sudden another man who makes the same crime, gets nothing but a fifteen minutes imprisonment. I honestly understood the previous PC much better, and I see this one as a bit too complicated for the players to understand.. ))

One question, how PD will be supposed to jail someone into LSP for like 4.5 hours or there will be only time in minutes? ))

((Pretty sure the old one also meant when you could not identify the subject through thumb-scanning-stuff and all that technological shizzle. The new "failure to identify" is merely just not stating your name when legally obliged to.

Good stuff none-the-less, Laos! ))

(4)05. Failure To Pay A Fine
Any person who willfully fails to pay a fine issued by a citation within the time ordered without a lawful excuse even if the fine is paid in full after that time is guilty of a misdemeanor. Those convicted under this section shall be punished by imprisonment for 15 minutes

Finally. Serving jail time and paying a substantial fine over an unpaid ticket has always been silly and illogical. Thank you for this.
If anyone has important information regarding what happened to fellow LS-RP player Frezelli and can transmit it to me, I'm offering 10$ on paypal.

@Laos, mind adding Aggravated battery? We have that pretty often and it should definitely be in the Penal code.

aggravated battery = battery with a deadly weapon = attempted murder.

Context: Using a weapon that is deadly when used as expected AND is used as expected.

AKA - shooting someone with a Deagle

Battery = attacking someone with a weapon, fists, or deadly weapon in the unexpected way.

AKA - beating someone up, pistol whipping, etc.

Laos, what exactly is your point here? If you're trying to say Aggravated battery is the same thing as Attempted murder that is absolutely wrong. If you mean something else please explain.

Actually they are the same in LS-RP's situations. In what case would aggravated Battery /not/ be attempted murder?

Anyways it doesn't matter -this isn't a discussion topic - this is a "will be released soon" notice.

Post a discussion topic then...

For example: Let's say you owe me money. You don't want to pay, I come and shoot you in the kneecap obviously not intending to kill you however intending to cause serious bodily harm to be more convincing. What are you going to charge me with?

Shooting someone is always Attempted murder - you don't understand the law. It's not intention that matters - a gun is a lethal weapon. using it as directed is an attempt to kill someone. And there won't be a discussion topic, everything's been settled.

Laos, stop being ignorant. Aggravated battery can and do happens on LS-RP. If it's not a firearm it's going to be a bat/knife or another weapon.

In regard to your statement that "Shooting someone is always Attempted murder - you don't understand the law." :arrow: http://rockrivertimes.com/2012/03/02/ma ... a-firearm/ I hope you realize you don't know everything yourself.

Thanks for adding Aggravated battery to the penal code and being reasonable.
