I enjoy jailbird as it currently is, I pick it on my research character because they're generally shenanigan-driven and I can make a improv story out of whatever crimes it auto-generates. On my security character, I enjoy jailbirds as a round-start thing to handle in person, generally leaning torwards a fine and jailtime if they run; it's great to have at least something related to your job as security within the first 30 minutes since that's the "slow" part of the shift most times.
The issue I have is really just like whats already been said about some people who play security de-prioritizing them way too much when there's nothing else to really do at the moment, and maybe the issue of setting off scanners/securitrons being too much. Possibly making them detain status and not arrest status would work, allowing security to go question them whenever, and the "arrest warrants" changed to "suspect notices" or something would be better since then you have way more leeway in how the crimes are processed, since you can roleplay like you were simply there at the time and were just ONE of the possible suspects. It still allows for bullshittery since you can allude or admit to the fact you DID do the crimes if you'd like, and make it reasonable for security to arrest/fine you, but doesn't make it as urgent as a active arrest warrant if things need to be dealt with.
Securitrons and alarms not going off would hopefully also de-incentivize people who auto-clear the warrants since, why would you at that point, there's nothing being disrupted really by someone on detain status. If you wanna have the securitrons pissed off there's now a specific trait that makes robots pissed off lol.
