Insecurity Officers

[Ed Venture]

B.  The "ability to deviate if possible." I want to stress this point to Ed. I think he's missing this side of the argument for the laws. It wouldn't be there to prevent you from enforcing anything but give credence to your selected punishment. Plus, I feel like the ambiguity of the current space law rules printed in the book (not the wiki) are its downfall. For new players, having a guide to reference easily is incredibly beneficial and is a great starting point.

But as a Officer I don't need to prove anything to the prisoners who run their mouth. I just ignore them and tell them to adminhelp me if they feel I am so shit. I like the idea of it being a guidebook for new players but the moment you start using it to defend your actions people are going to start thinking it's set in stone rules for Security and I don't want that. The only way I'd be completely fine with the book being used to defend a officer's actions is if the first page of the book it says in big bold red letters "THIS BOOK IS JUST A GUIDELINE. THESE ARE NOT THE RULES FOR SECURITY"

Having ~ultra strict spacelaw~ is retarded because people with nothing better to do will try to trick sec people into violating it so they can play gotcha with adminhelps. There was a huge rash of that even with the current rules a few years ago.

Hate to say it but I agree with Berrik. Also if you want to throw a book at someone when you arrest them grab Beepsky's journal and throw it at them. If they read it it will for sure lead to some funny moments.
