Security should need to follow laws

[jan.antilles]

threat asessment is subjective and therefore I believe it cannot be relied on

That's fine. All we ask is that people do their best. A rigid system of crime and punishment is not what we're looking for. If that was the case, Security would be staffed exclusively by administrators or just left to automatic systems. But it's not, because human interactions are subjective and this game is based on human interactions. Especially the roleplay server!

is one of the main reasons for the overly long "pre-brig" times a prisoner needs to deal with before their actual punishment time starts

The point of that is roleplay. Interrogation and searches and deliberating on punishments is part of the game. Players who are new to security first have access to the assistant role, and are encouraged to learn from more experienced members... as is the case with every department. Everyone is just doing their best. Excessive issues can always be ahelped.

I also believe that Space Law could help mitigate this issue.

Having incomplete information is not an issue that needs to be mitigated. It is literally part of the game as designed.
