And yes, a shoot-out as result of drug bust is roleplaying. I hardly get why the admins need to interfere there. The thread should be kept simple - Only 2 people may post - the LibGov account and one Junker that stands as a Junker representative. The rest could be called in specifically by either party by "I summon blahlbah to give testimony" and after it give the ooRP username of the guy.
It can't be that Admin intervention in something like this seems ridiculous only for me, is it?

I find myself agreeing very strongly with these two posts.
@WildBill - Have you ever BEEN to a Courthouse in America? Like even a tiny little district court in a town of 20,000? Because I have, and the PANTS I was wearing set off their security systems, and I pretty much got thrown against the wall, frisked, and searched more thoroughly until they were absolutely certain I had no weapons, and I was only there for a school project!
So honestly I find your claim that "Weapons are smuggled into courtrooms across America daily" to be quuuuuite a bit farfetched, now I'm sure it happens in some places, but that was a drastic overstatement of the facts, and even then....
A robot bigger than a man, with built in handcannons =/= a single smuggled firearm. And I'm willing to bet that a FEDERAL COURT, FROM THE FUTURE, has much much much better security, than a dingy little district court in smalltown America, anyway. Just saying.
