Let's talk about the Detective

Something not really mentioned is that while yes detective is part of sec, it's not treated with the same level of trust as secoffs, and it shouldn't be. While mechanically speaking they can outperform a secoff in catching or killing an antag, they also have to deal with the fact they don't get the same trust Security does by crew. When a detective shoots someone without explanation, it's not uncommon for people to think the detective is the one in the wrong, and potentially even act it, giving the antag they're chasing an opportunity to run.
The tradeoff for detective having a fairly decent gun isn't that they don't have sec gear, but rather that the second they seem 'off', they're under question of being an antag themselves, and face extra scrutiny where secoffs wouldn't. Similarly, antag detectives don't get the same level of slack a botanist or geneticist might get doing minor crimes, since they have the issue that they are still technically part of Security, and face extra scrutiny for what might not be as big of an issue to other roles.
Of note is that I also don't play detective very much (if at all), and this is just based off of how I've seen detectives been treated/how I tend to treat them, so feel free to mention if this is drastically different from how other people tend to treat/see detectives act.
