Hiding lethal ammo behind hacking security machines probably would help with this a bit, though preferably leave stun ammo public.
However, for all those that say Detective isn't sec, I have a question.
What is he?
Is he Civilian? That doesn't seem quite right, his purpose is in no way civilian, he investigates crime and occasionally stops a bad guy.
Is he Medical? Well considering he's more likely to shoot you than heal you I think not.
Is he Research? Well, if seeing how much of your blood can be safely replaced with ethanol is a field of research, maybe.
Is he Maintenance? He does spend an awful lot of time in maint, but I don't quite think that cuts it.
Is he a Head? Head of Alcoholism? Head of Shooting People? Head of Setting Off Smoke Alarms?
If we are to believe the wiki, he is classified as a Personnel Job, "These jobs are the administration of the station. They manage the station and ensure everyone is safe and productive."
So it seems that his job is in fact to keep you safe. It also has a heavy relation to crime and criminals, therefore it would make sense he has sec access. For all intents and purposes, it seems he is in fact sec, or at least a part of the same group that sec is, as Security Officer and Head of Security is also a Personnel Job.
For that matter, how does the Detective supercop? Is his job not to investigate crimes and find the criminal? Isn't that what people constantly say the Detective should do? Now, I understand having an issue with the Detective using lethal rounds on reasonably minor offences, but call that what it is, wrongful use of power.
Also, to defend the gun, the Detective job is of course a gumshoe, Casa Blanca style guy. He doesn't use any fancy space man weaponry, he keeps his trusty big iron with him at all times. I'll admit, the amount of lethal ammo available to him is a bit high, 4 reloads per machine with a total of 4 machines I can think of off the top of my head. However, there is no reason to remove the gun itself or stun ammo for that matter.
