I've been thinking about it.
You could "gameify" this a bit, possibly. Hear me out.
- Jailbird instead acts more like a "warrant bounty" system. There's no changes to your current arrest status or sechud (maybe, you might feel like keeping this as I talk through the idea) so you appear to be a normal person.
- Either all the time, or some of the time with the jailbird trait you have a bounty for your processing/detainment. This can be handled on site for the more minor charges, or arrests for full ones.
- However, as it's an "off station bounty" not issued by NT or the station itself, security isn't behooved to actually act on it if their attention must be drawn elsewhere for antags.
- There's a reward of "some kind" probably a trinket or something for processing a bounty and serving them notice/fine/etc. The general premise behind this being an incentive for security players who are less busy to consider looking at the bounties.
- There's some kind of reward, something tiny like a little spacebux bonus on top of wage (not sure about this bit) for jailbirds avoiding being processed.
-The rewards in both cases need to be minor enough that they aren't really worth taking for the bonus but are at least a nice little "hey well done" for either side.
-The optional nature of bounties is an RP justification and also no skin off a classic officer's back if they completely ignore it for real antagonists.
