From a cultural standpoint: It's just "Was it something I said" but with extra steps.
It's annoying, it doesn't add anything interresting, most people who have it also expect you to waver away their crimes.
Even I have to waver them away since I gotta focus on getting antags out of the way.
People will just get arrest removed on RP. And I never seen anyone trying to follow it up cept ONCE and even that wasn't as fun cause we have it in our heads to just waver out of station crimes to get things going.
The only people who take it are people trying out traits.. but most.. avoid it since it gives no benefits or fun factors.
I do not know how it goes on classic, but I feel like when somoene rolls Jailbird it's OBIVIOUS.
As it can be "Farting on the captain" to "Embezzling funds." One is just annoying and the other is an actual crime.
So the random element for roleplaying also messes with the fun factor. Imagine if I want to be jailbird and a heavy criminal who wants to get arrested but...
My crime is: "Slipping Head of Security" ....Wow....I'll get a ticket for that.
All in all I think the trait from a culture point is just the same: "Annoying"
Those who use it once won't use it again. Security finds it annoying. It is litterly a 5 minute interaction at best going: "Ooh you are jailbird, moving on."
