Greetings Libertonians. Who I am is not important.
I wish to broadcast news. A certain something that shows the corruption that seethes through the government of Liberty. I present evidence of the injustice caused by the LPI, charging an innocent civilian for "watching" a criminal being shot down. Charging him on claims of not offering assistance, despite him helping shoot down two Rogue rookies, despite his ship being far outclassed by the Outcast gunboat.
The following is a communications log, displaying the injustice of the LPI.
Is this the Liberty you want to live in?
Is this the democracy the government has promised?
Does the government understand the meaning of our House's name? "Liberty"?
Hello, I am a Libertonian and whilst, on the face of it, your transmission looks worrying I must question the probity of your evidence.
Whilst it may be genuine and accurate it has obviously been "cleaned" and is missing a coded timeline that would have been difficult to argue with. Most navigation software have the /set timestamp command for health and safety, insurance, accident investigation etc. type work. In fact many safety laws require constant operation of this feature, too many accidents happened in the past with pilots being on-shift for too long and causing errors, this log is evidential in most commercial parts of Sirius.
So to answer your questions
Is this the Liberty you want to live in?
No but at present your transmission is not strong enough to provide evidence that this is the Liberty we live in.
Is this the democracy the government has promised?
There is a difference between democracy and free for all and actually at one level I quite like the idea of people trying to help, "All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men to do nothing" and if you did laugh then I do agree with the officer.
Does the government understand the meaning of our House's name? "Liberty"?
See above. But numerous definitions exist, the free for all ones are not Liberty but anarchy, the free from oppressive regulation, undue government intervention are the sensible ones.

I apologize for being unable to successfully obtain a coded time stamp. But I assure you the evidence is true. If you claim my evidence is false, then it is your opinion.
My stand remains. For all skeptics, your opinion is yours, I shall not argue. And for the rest, be cautious, the government is a corrupt one. Watch where you tread, you might end up in jail without a valid reason.
Thank you for your reply and the warning, I will be alert an keep an eye out during my flights through Liberty. It is in the best interests of all law abiding citizens and the upholders of the law to root out corruption be it at the individual, corporation or government level.
Rest assured if I am witness to the sort of behaviour that better evidence may have provided then I will pursue it with vigour.
At present I have no opinion about whether your evidence is correct or not, there is a difference between what I said and claiming the evidence is false. I was just pointing out it is not strong enough to cause an all out rebellion.

Well, good sir;
As far as you are a subject of laws ensuring your safety from both government and social insitutes, protecting your wealth and offering you a better future, that's all what you deserve because you are such a gorgeous yourself.
Once you are sanctioned for your wrongdoings, the government is corrupt and the injustice is filling the Liberty space.
[color=#CCCCCC]First up, I don't contradict your evidence. Wanted to make that good and clear from the start. Looks pretty damning from here, but as our friend here went and pointed out, it's only a partial log. I can't tell what class of ship anyone was flying, or any of the other circumstances.
Secondly. I've flown with Sergeant Law previously, and he did nothing to suggest any sort of self-interest or the corruption you're implying. For frak's sake, the man took on two Rogue fighters and a Destroyer without flinching, and without his help, I sure as hell doubt I'd be sending this to you anywhere on an official map. Without the ships he organised to get me out of there, I wouldn't have made it home. Furthermore, he happens to be a friend of mine, and it'd be appreciated if you don't go drawin' conclusions as to his character without at least meeting the man.
I'm not going to say there ain't any corrupt officers in service. It happens in any large organisation. But I'd bet my life that Sergeant Vladimir Law isn't one of them.

Dear Anonymous, and to the people of Liberty,
The actions of the convicted prisoner named Zack.Xterios and his breach of the Laws of Liberty are clear and were a violation section 1(4) of the Liberty Laws. Before the legal argument is put forth, the context of the actions of the convicted prisoner is important.
Context
I was told about an Outcast Gunboat in California. Heading to patrol that area with fellow LPI officers, I was stopped by the Outcast Gunboat, who definitely was an Outcast and was hauling hostages. Due to tactical reasons, I started to monitor the situation. It was not long after that I spotted the convicted prisoner of supporting the suspect Outcast in attacking an innocent trader, [C]-CLT-Saint-Verdun. It was at this time that I spotted the convicted prisoner supporting the Outcast, saying phrases like "pirating is fun" and "I want to be an Outcast". The convicted prisoner even laughed when the vessel Saint-Verdun was destroyed. I was shocked and appalled when I saw the suspect laugh at that atrocious incident. The pilot was dead, the ship destroyed and yet the convicted prisoner revelled in delight..
The Outcast then engaged me, stopping my engines and trying to destroy me. All the while, the convicted prisoner not only stood-by but engaged in moral encouragement of the Outcast. He was very much so I would describe an escort or a part of the band, but not engaging in combat. This guncam shows exactly what is meant: the trader warns of the Gunboat, the Outcast threatens me and the convicted prisoner shouts "close", encouraging the Outcast in his actions against Liberty forces, and in causing breaches of law and peace in Liberty.
After the battle finished, I did charge the convicted prisoner $800,000. This is the standard fine that is imposed under my watch for an action under section 1(4) which I will shortly discuss in legal terms. The suspect then refused stating he didn't have the money, so I did the appropriate action: I placed the convicted prisoner under arrest for rehabilitation at LPI-Huntsville.
He was escorted freely and not shot at, and went into the prison. The sentence imposed was a short jail sentence (//of around 5 minutes). The suspect was then let free.
Let me make it clear: without question there was a breach of the law. Section 1(4) of the Liberty Laws provides many civil crimes. Under Section 1(4) includes the part which was broken by the convicted prisoner:
Quote:Causing, contributing to or participating in a public disturbance.
This is defined as encouraging or being a part of a public disturbance, which includes, but is not limited to, verbal or physical altercation between individuals, polluting the house of Liberty by dumping toxic waste into space and destroying property under ownership such as cargo depots.
On the above facts it is, and was clear that he was encouraging the physical altercation (the crime of piracy, the crime of assault, the engaging of battle) as well as verbal altercation of LPI personnel. This satisfies the elements required for the breach of the crime under section 1(4).
An ordinary freelancer would have fled the Outcast, have called for help or would have made it none of his business. However, the convicted prisoner Zack.Xterios not only encouraged the Outcast through his actions, but celebrated the chaos that was being perpetrated in Liberty through the myriad of laws that were broken. And would an ordinary freelancer, from the evidence given by Anonymous really have the intention to flee the scene by saying 'damn he has Cruise disruptors'? No. He would have faced his crimes head-on to clear his name.
As a precedent this is not tolerated in Liberty, and should not be tolerated. IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE. Any straight-mind LPI officer or other law enforcement would have done similar actions for what was done. Had the convicted prisoner left the scene, perhaps watched from a distance of many thousands of kilometres this would make sense. But the close proximity, the warm relations and such of the suspect showed to me in every light that the suspect, had the intention to encourage the Outcast to commit further acts of piracy in New York. This therefore made the convicted prisoner guilty in encouraging such actions.
Conclusion
Let me also add a side note: This convicted prisoner after released was assisted by me. I talked to the convicted prisoner politely, saw that he had no nanobots or shield batteries and gave it all to him. Furthermore I even donated to the prisoner $1,000,000 to aid his rehabilitation in buying a new ship, perhaps a new gun. This shows that the LPI is determined to not only prosecuting crimes and enforcing the law, but also aiding the community. This is something that is not publicised, and is lost in the air as if it had never happened. But we do it all the time through such actions like escorting traders, contributing to the economy and educating citizens on the law.
And no: I thought it not justified to take guncams at that time of the conversation as the convicted prisoner's actions were clear. It was only since I have come back into base that I find this allegation put forth before me. If I knew, you would be able to see the full extent of what was said. However for a small excerpt the guncam provided is what was said, however mainly in dealing with the arrest of the convicted prisoner. That was when the battle finished, and when after all the evidence I collated and incidents experienced that I made a judgment.
The Primary Fleet: LPI, [LN] and =LSF=, as well as the Secondary Fleet are here to protect the citizens and traders of Liberty from harm. Encouraging and supporting a criminal aggravates a situation out of control so that more lives are put at risk, and more lives are lost. One innocent trader was killed today because of the convicted prisoner's encouragement of piracy and killing innocent civilians. That is why it is a crime in Liberty. We are the force that is there to enforce the law at all costs if necessary, and do so with pride, with honour and with respect. I take this job as an LPI officer seriously. I was brought up in a challenging neighbourhood, which taught me the qualities of respect and dedication. These I bring to the job, and these are the qualities that the LPI show whenever they are out there.
In response to the questions posed, I want to say this. In a democracy, you have rights but you have duties also. Democracy is a give-and-take system: Put in banana's what do you get? Banana's. Democracy requires citizens to undertake their duty to their country and to their people, and this is the oath the LPI and other primary fleet have served. Most have never served yet demand the service at no cost.
To make a democracy laws need to be made and enforced, and that is what happened here: the law was enforced. Would the suspect been arrested had the law not existed? No he wouldn't have because we would have nothing to charge him on, as was the situation a year or so ago.So in all reality Liberty is a democracy. 'Liberty' itself also requires rights and responsibilities: you have the liberty to free speech but do really have the liberty to murder? No...
So in that respect the Liberty we really want is where it is just and free. I believe there is much more to do, and if people stopped complaining and bickering, and instead joined us in the fight against crime and corruption we would be better off. But no, the greed of an individual shows no bounds but their own selfishness.
I bow to those who have took the fight against piracy and crime, through the Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Force and the Liberty Police. For those are truly the guardians of your Liberty and democracy; without them, you have none.
We will continue to do our job proudly with our heads up high. And sadly the convicted prisoner learnt the primal lesson: Crime does not pay. Hopefully he will learn from his recent stint in prison to follow the law and not threaten the security and safety of other Liberty citizens.

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Hello there! *spits*
If you look closely to the LPI database you will notice some other innocent pilots. Pilots like me.
The case is the following: I stood idly watching a HF member fight the Police sergeant and offered my help to the LPI..for a small fee of course. Seems he was too cheap so I just spectated the destruction of his vessel. *spits*
That makes me a criminal?
The fine of 1,250,000 Sirius credits you gave me is nothing more than a piece of paper. And we use pieces of papers when we use our portable toilets. *spits*
