I do not expect anyone to follow Space Law to the letter when punishing someone but I do expect specific Space Law to help players decide on the appropriate punishment, threat asessment is subjective and therefore I believe it cannot be relied on.
The wiki article may give a general idea of what a security officer isn't supposed to do but it does not help a player who is wondering how they should deal with prisoners besides not killing them without HoS/Captain permission and I strongly believe, based on my own experience, that this can cause a lot of confusion in the department and 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.
Honestly, I feel the wiki page already does a good enough job and suggesting appropriate punishments with brig times.
I wouldn't want a system where a player is beholden to a strict sentencing per crime, I think that would just create a lot of situations where players will conflict over if things are "correct" that the admin team will be asked to intervene or make judgement calls on.
