Why security can do not good

[Technature]

This might be a little personal, Crazyabe, but on most rounds I've seen you, you tend to be a twitchy, trigger-happy captain with a tendency to e.g. wordlessly open fire on (as far as we know) random people in the shuttle, followed by griping either here or in post-round ooc about how people should mind their own business and not stand in the way of OBVIOUS JUSTICE. Your experience with sec might be somewhat different from the average person's, as a result.

Though it does bring up a point: a pretty common misconception is that vigilantes are much more efficient at antag-hunting than sec, because sec officers have to deal with space law, brigging and all that jazz, whereas a vigilante can just murder anyone who looks at them funny and then apologize if it was unwarranted. The trade-off is supposed to be that sec comes down on these people as hard as actual antags, but it doesn't work when the station sides with the vigilante to the point that everyone would rather be a vigilante than a sec officer.

Yeah, I definitely try to go out of my way to punish vigilante's specifically because it's easier for security to try to determine if a person is an antag or not (it's much harder to hide antag gear when you're suddenly unable to do anything after all).  That in itself causes problems because, as mentioned before, people prefer to side with someone else than with security and tend to use stuff like that as evidence of you being terrible (though vigilante's tend to also be decent enough to just go along with it, which gives me an excuse to punish them a little lighter).
