During a run as mayor I had a while ago almost all the civilians were grumbling about the police overstepping their bounds. When I was voted into office I slashed the PD budget to low and told the civilians about what I did to help limit police oppression. The people were happy about this. The police were not.
I used the powers I was given as mayor to implement the will of my voters, I kept taxes at 1% since we had a large budget at the time.
However the police used 4.1 as an excuse, confusing the best interests of the city with their own interests. Saying because of what I have done I was not acting in the city's best interests. This law has too much discretion involved. The police can easily use it to justify any coup against legitimately elected mayors.
After I set a false meeting with the police, to test if they wanted to arrest me, my informant confirmed it. I now knew they were attempting to arrest me. I offered to do a phone meeting with the police. At first they refused and told me to come in person, they were unaware that I knew their intentions. They then offered to talk on the emergency line so they could track my location. Again I refused.
Finally they caved in and I had a great conversation the steelo's character Furio. He was a veteran of the police force and he offered his side and mine to him. It opened up a problem with the law. The problem is that the police have too much power and nobody who is arrested receives any sort of trial.
I think 4.1 needs to change and I think there needs to be a very small court system. Something that maybe only covers 5-10% of arrested people. Something that if their is a single judge on people sometimes might have a chance to get a fair trial. Someone whos goal it is to review the law and make a good decision based on the evidence. A small but fair balancing force to keep the police in check. This would also add some great roleplay scenarios into the server.
I think this change is reasonable, I think it could be easily implemented with little programming work. This would allow the citizens to better trust the justice system.
