Punishment Type: Warning
Appeal Type: Dispute[Evidence]
Which staff member issued the punishment?: @Medium
How long were you banned/blacklisted for?: Not Applicable
Your Steam Name: Stuffs
Your Roleplay Name: Hans Klaus
Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:35530003
Why were you punished?: Server Warning | 3.17 - User confiscated weapons when it was not safe to do so.
Why should this appeal be considered?: This appeal should be considered because the confiscation decision was made in good faith based on the information and circumstances available at the time. After multiple gunshots were reported and fired, I entered the scene to assess the situation. Upon arrival, I observed several deceased individuals and found no officers or active suspects present in Office 6. Given the apparent conclusion of the incident, the ongoing risk of civilians exiting nearby apartments, and the limited number of officers available to secure the area, the call was made to begin weapon confiscation to prevent further harm or escalation.
At no point was the decision made negligently or with disregard for procedure. The intent was to ensure public safety under pressure and limited resources. While I now acknowledge that confiscation should not occur prematurely, the actions taken were based on a reasonable assessment of an apparently cleared scene.
Additional Information: During the confiscation process, it appears that a separate or renewed incident occurred involving Office 6. There was no clear or immediate indication that another individual had gone down, nor was there information available to suggest the scene had re-escalated. Due to visibility limitations and officer constraints, this development was not identifiable at the time.
I fully understand and accept that confiscating weapons prematurely is against protocol, and this incident has reinforced the importance of absolute confirmation before taking such action. This was not an intentional violation, but rather an error in judgment under dynamic and constrained circumstances. I have taken responsibility for this and will apply this lesson to future situations to ensure full compliance with procedures.
