Seems there was only moderate unlawful activity in Liberty today - I was breathing the entire time.
>Rogue Contact.
My patrol started with a known Rogue coming a little too close to Manhatten. I chased him half way across New York before I discontinued the pursuit in the interest of fuel efficiency.
>Second Rogue Contact.
When ending the pursuit of the first Rogue, a second one came into scanners range. I moved to intercept and found he was near the Pennsylvannia gate. Although the transport wasn't hauling anything, I felt it necessary to question him how he got a Rogue IFF transponder and what he was doing in the Badlands. As quick as split, he darted off to Pennsylvania, with me hot on his heals. I only managed to get a few shots off before he was out of range.
He wont get far in Liberty, flashing that Rogue transponder.
>Hacker Ambush.
After I'd made a quick stop off at West Point for supplies, Vice Admiral Anderson alerted our squadron to a developing situation in Ontario. It seemed an IND representative was under fire from Lane Hackers in the system. We moved swiftly and quickly in on them. Like all good Hackers, they ran like cockroaches when we turned up.
I followed one, "Disco.Volante", all the way around the sun to a Junker outpost in the sector. Seemed he was bored with me and decided to dock. Probably knew I could take down that pathetic transport he had before he'd be able to sing "Night Fever". Anyway, I caught him a bit later fleeing to Alberta. Not before I had an interesting encounter with the next fellow...
>Smuggler.
As I was returning from the Junker base, I came across this little punk. Seemed "beyond.the.jumphole" thought he was above the law - Bein' all suave trying to make me come on board Fort Severn to have some drinks with him. Trying to bribe me wasn't gonna work, as I threatened to have him spaced if he didn't undock that barge he had.
Unfortunately, he didn't listen and somehow disappeared on the Fort, along with his ship and the contraband.
For smuggling, evading justice, attempted bribery and illegal docking with a Navy installation, beyond.the.jumphole now owes the state $14 million in fines.
Maybe once he's got the entire Primary Fleet on the lookout for him, he'll understand not to be so uppity with me.
>Criminal Registry.
Here's the first draft of the registry:
Quote:
Liberty Criminal Registry
To the people of Liberty,
This is a nationwide broadcast detailing the new criminal registry the Primary fleet has put in place in an effort to even further crack down on known criminal entities working throughout our land. All citizens and visitors to our fair nation are encouraged to report any and all criminal activities they encounter, permitting the following conditions are met:
Evidence - Sufficient* undisputed evidence must be presented clearly proving the guilt of the suspect
Proof of Identity - Sufficient proof must be given of the reporter's affiliation and/or active citizenship in Liberty
*Evidence can be a guncam shot of the suspect engaging in illegal actions and/or audio tracks of the suspect threatening to commit a crime. The decision on whether or not sufficient evidence has been provided rests solely in the Criminal Registry Department leader.
The reporting format is, as follows:
Code:
[color=#66FFFF][b]Suspect Comms ID[/b][/color]:[color=#FFFFFF] [Comms ID of Suspect][/color]
[color=#66FFFF][b]Reporter Comms ID[/b][/color]: [color=#FFFFFF][Comm ID of your ship when you encountered the suspect - This can be left blank if you wish to be anonymous][/color]
[color=#66FFFF][b]Evidence of Allegiance[/b][/color]: [color=#FFFFFF][Upload your current status with the Liberty nation here - Your reputation infosystem will be useful here] [/color]
[color=#66FFFF][b]List of Crimes[/b][/color]:[color=#FFFFFF] [list]
[*][Item 1]
[*][Item 2]

[*][Item X]

[/color]
[color=#66FFFF][b]Evidence of Crime(s)[/b][/color]: [color=#FFFFFF][Upload guncam or audio tapes here][/color]
[color=#66FFFF][b]Reporter Comments[/b][/color]: [color=#FFFFFF][Your official statement regarding the suspect. Only report what pertains to the suspect's charges][/color]
[color=#66FFFF][b]Processing Officer's Comments[/b]: [color=#FFFFFF][Leave this section blank] [/color]
Please note that all sections are mandatory (Unless otherwise stated). All evidence must be presented in the form of a link. No evidence is to be uploaded directly to the registry, as it will put strain on the Department's direct feed from HQ.
If you aren't sure about what crimes the suspect has committed, the processing officer will add them in for you.
However, let it be known that falsifying evidence is a serious crime, if a reporter falsifies any evidence, the arrest warrant will be switched around. Let that be a small warning to you all.
With your help, this registry will greatly improve the Primary fleet's ability to react to undesirable forces within our jurisdiction.
The Criminal Database is located [here]-Link Under construction
Good day to you all,
Commander Jack Malrone
Although still in the drafting stage, I've decided it would be best to have the actual registry database in a separate, more secure channel. With large list of criminals that will be presented, an efficient database is required, which is why I've laid out the standard reporting format in the reporting channel - To create a homogeneous database system.
The actual registry would look something like this:
Quote:
Liberty Criminal Database
Welcome to the Liberty Criminal Database.
Please enter your search parameters...
Criminal #1
Criminal #2
Criminal #3
...
Criminal #X Each criminal will have a link to a personal rap sheet, detailing their crimes, fines owing and such. This is detailed below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Criminal #1
Criminal Priority: [Priority of Criminal:Alpha - Top Priority, Bravo - High Priority, Charlie - Moderate Priority, Delta - Low Priority, Epsilon - No threat.
Crimes:
[Item 1] - [Number of Occurances]
[Item 2] - [Number of Occurances]
[Item 3] - [Number of Occurances]
[Item X] - [Number of Occurances]
Fines Owing: [Fines owed]
Comments: [Processing Officer's and Department Heads comments]
Below is the list of reporters that are banned from using the registry for past transgressions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People banned from Registry Use
[Reporter 1]
[Reporter 2]
[Reporter 3]
[Reporter X]
It may still be a little rough around the edges, but it will hopefully be an efficient method of civilians being able to report criminals so that action may be taken against them.
