11.15: Right to protect persons in need

[Bruh Lightyear]

What law do you wish to Edit/Add: 11.15: Right to protect persons in need

Your version of the law: LEO's have the right to disallow the handling of persons in need of medical attention. Continuing to in any way handle or touch the person in need once told not to by an officer is a criminal offence. Medics are exempt from this power and may not be denied from handling persons in need.

Why do you believe this law should be Added/Edited: Law enforcers should have the right to prevent injured persons from being handled for their own well-being. Having no right to prevent citizens from handling injured persons only allows officers to intervene when the damage is done.

1.8 Physical Assault

The act of intentionally physically-assaulting (making aggressive contact with) another member of the public with the intent to cause bodily, mental and/or emotional harm.

8.4 Destruction of Evidence
The destruction and/or disposal/hiding/stealing of materials related to a crime is a criminal offence.

11.3 Right to Stop

Vehicle - LEOs may stop any vehicle that is believed to have been used to conjunction with any criminal act, whose driver and/or passenger(s) is a suspect in a crime and/or whose driver has violated a traffic-related law, as defined under Section 9.

Pedestrian - LEOs may stop any person who is a suspect in a crime.

Once stopped, LEOs may question suspects for a reasonable amount of time, but then must either release the suspect, or arrest them.

11.6 Right to Restrict Entry to Public Places and Private Property

Under certain circumstances, LEOs may restrict access to both Public Places and Private Property; this should only be done during situations where the civilian lives may be at risk (for example, during a Police raid, during a building fire, etc).

Although LEOs have the right to restrict such areas, the Police Lieutenant should be notified as soon as possible, and ideally, before any action has been taken; this will allow the Police Lieutenant to object and overrule any such actions, if necessary.

11.7 Right to Restrain

If a member of the public interferes within an investigation and/or enters a restricted area, they may be restrained until such a time where it is no longer deemed necessary. LEOs may also restrain members of the public during a search of that person, or during a search of Private Property if they believe that they may present a threat to themselves, other members of the public, or LEOs.

The problem is that some of these definitions are kind of wishy-washy when it comes to a situation like what is being discussed here. 11.6 is definitely one of the most useful powers belonging to law enforcement, but sealing off an entire area simply to deal with a small(ish) problem is quite overkill. 11.7 could be useful, but doesn't allow for the charging of people who are refusing to stop touching the body. 1.8 can be quite situational if trying to charge someone. If they are throwing the person around or punching them, it's clear cut. But if they are just dragging them, it can be hard to get a definite charge. Once again, 11.3 is useful for stopping it momentarily, but then, if there are others messing with the body, that just takes yourself and one other person out of the equation. As for 8.4, I'm not exactly sure if a person in need could be a material of a crime. Especially if they were just involved in an accident or something like that. But still, thanks for giving me some way to help prevent this Chris!

They are meant to be interpreted. This is one of many unnecessary laws that have been suggested which would just be a waste of space and an inefficient thing to add, because they are already dealt with by other laws.

Someone moving a body? Restrain and detain - they are a suspect in the crime for being in its vicinity, have entered the scene of a crime, and have moved (possibly with intent of hiding) a body.

Due to Chris's statements on the matter, I would like to have this thread closed.
