Security should need to follow laws

[Gomp]

What is does mean is that Antagonists or anyone else breaking the law knows how they will probably be punished and how they can be punished.

Given that we don't really do things like extensive prison sentences or permabrigging on Goon, the answer is: you're gonna be brigged. The timer only goes up to a couple minutes. Maybe with interro first. You may or may not have contraband or tools taken away, depending on how busy Sec is and what you've been up to. If you've been killing people or you're clearly not going to stop being a threat, you could be executed and need to wait out the 10 minute respawn timer.

I see no reason to make things more complicated for security players than that.

There is a large difference between brig time, execution and tickets (I have seen exile quite a lot too) so I believe it would make securites job easier to know when to execute someone and when to take away their guns, following that line of thought I also believe that antagonists would be a lot more comfortable in their roles if they had a reliable way of knowing when they are going to face execution, vs when they can come back later.
Regarding complexity in my opinion being left up to make those choices yourself or having a disussion with your team while the criminal is probably in your grab, trying to escape, is a lot more complicated then looking in a book and knowing how you are officially (in rp and out of rp) supposed to behave.
