Security SOP

2025-12-21T20:46:11Z

Corporate Law

2025-12-21T19:35:16Z

Nekonori: Under valid causes for searches, under the Search and Seizure listing; corrected bullet point "Association with know criminals" to "Association with known criminals". Gramma, amiright?

On Space Station 14, stations operate under abbreviated Corporate Law. All crew, passengers, and visitors aboard the station are expected to follow these laws, and in turn are protected by them.

'''Hostile invaders''' from off-station are not protected under Corporate Law. Domestic threats, anyone rightfully hired by Central Command and/or NanoTrasen, and currently held prisoners are not '''Hostile Invaders''' and so are usually protected by Corporate Law. Humanoid '''Hostile Invaders''' should be arrested when possible.

== Security Procedures ==
=== Treatment of Prisoners ===

* Prisoners must be granted adequate medical care.
* Prisoners must be allowed access to basic communications equipment so long as they are not abused.
* Prisoners must be granted clothing, food, water, shelter and safety. If the genpop brig is no longer safe, confinement must be established in another location.
* Prisoners must be given legal counsel during an interrogation if requested and available.
* Prisoners must be given their shift mandated PDA after confinement has finished, unless there is solid proof of PDA tampering. In case of tampering, the PDA is to be secured and replaced with a new unit.
* Prisoners must be granted freedom of movement and should not be restrained with handcuffs or other devices after incarceration unless there is an undue risk to life and limb. Similarly, any prisoners held for permanent confinement should be held in the communal brig, and should not be confined to a solitary cell unless they pose a risk to life and limb.
* Misuse of equipment against prisoners, such as flashes, teargas, flashbangs, etc is prohibited. Appropriate force should only be applied as strictly necessary.
* Breaches of 'Treatment of Prisoners' is grounds for dismissal or demotion.

=== Sentencing ===
Sentencing of under 20 minutes is the responsibility of the arresting officer. When an individual has been detained, they must be promptly marked as such in the Criminal Records Computer. Likewise, when they have been released they must be promptly marked as such. If an individual has been detained but had no preexisting warrant, their criminal record should be updated to reflect them; marking them as wanted and writing in why, before marking them detained.

The Prisoner's charges must be read to them in front of the Warden or Head of Security.

It is the responsibility of the Captain, Head of Security, and Warden to ensure that security officers place appropriate sentences that follow Corporate Law. If they are aware of an inappropriate sentence, such as excessively long sentences, and if there is not an urgent threat or danger that they must prioritize, then they must work to correct that sentence.

Use '''common sense''' and '''humanity''' when issuing punishments. You should '''not''' always seek out the highest punishment you can, you don't have to always give the maximum time or always look to demote someone. Prisoners cooperating and on good behavior should have their sentences reduced. Always take in account the severity and only charge for what is needed for someone to learn their lesson. Gross over-sentencing may result in reprimand at the discretion of the Head of Security or Warden.

* Stackable Crimes: Crimes are to be considered 'stackable' in the sense that if you charge someone with two or more different crimes, you may combine the times you would give them for each crime.
** If a suspect has committed Major Possession and Major Syndicate Possession, the maximum sentence would be 40 minutes due to them being linked crimes.
** If a suspect has committed Secure Trespass and Manslaughter, the maximum sentence would be 40 minutes due to them being unlinked crimes.
** Context is vital. If you are unsure, seek assistance from the Warden or Head of Security.
* Repeat Offenders: Repeated crimes are when someone is released for a crime and then commits the same crime again within the same shift. Repeated crimes can be charged with additional time. Every repeat adds 5 minutes.
* Aiding and Abetting: If someone intentionally, knowingly and substantially assists someone in enacting a crime they should be charged with the same crime as the offender.
* Malfeasance: Members of command or security who commit a crime should have their sentence increased by 50%.
* Obstruction: Criminals who interfere with an investigation should have their sentence increased by 50%.
* Absence of Intent: Criminals who committed their crime unintentionally may have their sentence reduced by 50% at the sentencing officer's discretion.
* Disclosure and Surrender: Criminals who fully cooperate with the investigation should have their sentence reduced by 50-75% at the sentencing officer's discretion. This includes turning in evidence, turning in accomplices, or recounting the crime in detail.

==== Normal Punishment ====

* Warning: For minor crimes it is best to fix the issue then warn the person not to attempt the crime again. If they still proceed to do it at a later date, a brig time may be better.
* Confinement: The typical punishment of being confined in a cell for a temporary amount of time according to the crimes.
* Demotion: Entails removing all departmental gear they have on their person and removing the involved department access off their ID. This requires the captain's or involved department head's approval. Demotions should only be issued if the person poses a threat to their own department or is in a position where they have/can abuse their job's gear to commit further crimes.

==== Major Punishment ====

* Permanent Confinement: Only prisoners who are guilty of [[Corporate_Law#Extreme Crimes|Extreme Crimes]] or [[Corporate_Law#Capital Crimes|Capital Crimes]] are eligible for permanent confinement. Any persons subject to this punishment are required to be safely transported in cuffs to CentComm at the end of the shift. A permanent prisoner can not be deprived of anything covered by [[Security_SOP#Prisoner Treatment|Prisoner Treatment]].
* Execution: A humane way of dealing with extremely unruly crewmates. Within reason, a prisoner who has been given the death sentence may pick how they wish to be killed, common methods are firing line, lethal injection, exile, and high voltage electrocution. An alternate method of "execution" is the process of placing the prisoner's mind into a borg, this is allowed so long as it is lawful. Execution can only be issued with the captain's or acting captain's approval; if the HoS is acting captain or there is no acting captain, all heads of staff are to hold a vote on the matter. Bodies of criminals should not be left to rot under any circumstance, and transported to CC when possible.

=== Parole ===
Prisoners are permitted during their sentence to request parole. Warden or Head of Security may approve parole instead of incarceration at their discretion. See [[Security_SOP#Parole|Parole]] for clarification and procedure.

Members of Law Department may order parole instead of incarceration at the conclusion of a trial or investigation. See [[Legal SOP]] for clarification.

=== Legal Representation and Trials ===
Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation to challenge charges. Petty sentences, that is sentences totaling less than 10 minutes of prison time, are below the interest of the court and should not be brought to trial unless directly requested by the Magistrate. The duties and privileges of an Internal Affairs Agent are as follows:

* Advise Security in the sentencing of prisoners.
* Act as legal consultants to the accused if requested, the situation is deemed worth while, and they desire to or are ordered to by the Magistrate.
* Handle investigations into misconduct on the part of any department at their own discretion or the discretion of the Magistrate or Captain.

While Internal Affairs Agents are vested with these responsibilities, they have zero authority over the Brig, Security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing. They can be barred from the Brig by the Magistrate, HoS, Warden, or Captain if they are disruptive. And they may be demoted if they continue to be disruptive. While Internal Affairs Agents are responsible for investigating other departments, they do not have authority over them.

The Magistrate acts as the highest court, and is the appointed Judge of any case that goes to trial. Should the Magistrate be unavailable, the Head of Security, Head of Personnel, or Captain may act in their stead. In cases where one of these mediators or their subordinates is directly involved, they should not be acting as Judge over the case. For example, if an Internal Affairs Agent is on trial, the Magistrate and Head of Security should not act as Judge. If a Security Officer is on trial, the Head of Security should not act as Judge. And if a member of Service is on trial, the Head of Personnel should not act as Judge.

=== Search and Seizure ===
A personnel search is a seizure of the objects in a person's backpack, hands, coat, belt, and pockets. If any contraband is found during a search, the officer may choose to further the search into a detainment or simply confiscate the restricted items. After the search is conducted, all legal items are to be returned to the person. A crewmate may legally decline any search conducted without probable cause or a warrant while the alert level is green. It should be noted that if the alert level is blue or above, all personnel searches are legal.

Valid causes for a personnel search include;

* Verbal or written threats to commit a crime.
* Reports of possession of illegal items.
* Being witnessed committing any crime.
* Evasion of security.
* Trespassing.
* Association with known criminals.
* Door logs indicating suspicious or unauthorized access.
* DNA, print, or fiber matches linking an individual to a crime.

Searches may not be conducted on simple rumors or hearsay, unless they are corroborated by multiple sources or they are coming from a credible source such as Command or other Mindshielded personnel. Reports of possession of major contra should always be taken seriously.

A departmental search is the sweep of an entire area or department for contraband. It is recommended that the officers be extremely thorough, checking all lockers, crates, and doors. These can only be done with permission from the department head, a warrant signed by the highest-ranking command member, or in a state of emergency.

Valid causes for department search include;

* Mentions of rebellion or illegal activity.
* Confirmed reports of contraband.
* Security breaches, such as hacked open doors or other signs of forced entry.
* Sabotage suspicion, tampering with equipment or infrastructure.
* Criminal activity.
* Inconsistencies in the department, such as unauthorized people or unexplained use of resources.
* Threats made against the department.

Emergencies scenarios may waiver the need for a warrant, such as; Active threats within the department, ongoing sabotage, escalating violence, and any mention of a rebellion or revolution.

==== Permit Clause ====
Anyone with a valid permit cannot have the relevant contraband seized and cannot be arrested for possession. A valid permit has a stamp and signature from Warden, HoS, or Captain. See [[Security_SOP#Permit_Acquisition|Permit Acquisition]] for clarification.

=== Implantation ===
Any prisoner in custody can be subjected to implantation or implant removal procedures, so long as it's [[Metashield|within reason]]. The process of adding an implant should not prolong the detainees sentence, meaning you can not hold them longer to administer the implant, unless stated otherwise. A former inmate can be requested to undergo implantation at a later point in time if they fit the circumstances during their confinement, they must comply. The following have been listed out with special circumstances, anything not in this list can still be applied, given proper legal context. A prisoner can still receive implantation procedures without meeting the circumstances if they give their clear permission.

* Illegal Implants: Applied without proper authorization, these implants may justify extensions if removal is required.
* Tracking Implants: Trackers can be applied to any suspect that has been convicted of a violent crime.
** If voluntary or deemed necessary Command Staff should be given Tracking Implants.
** If voluntary and approved by Warden or Head of Security, normal members of the crew may also be granted Tracking Implants.
* Mind Shields: Shields can be administered to any inmate who has been clearly mind controlled, lost control of themselves, or a suspect charged with unlawful control. Unlike standard implantation you may hold a prisoner until you finish issuing Mind Shields, so long as it's done in a timely fashion.
** If a suspect refuses to cooperate or the implant fails to function they can be charged with Refusal of Mental Shielding.
** All promoted members of Security, Command, and Salvage must undergo Mind Shielding before they are formally promoted and granted accesses. Anyone given ID access to secure areas, such as the Bridge, must also undergo Mind Shielding.

A suspect can be forced to receive implant removal if there is strong, reasonable proof that they have been implanted, such as an officer seeing them use one or identifying information is found on a discarded injector. Unlike the implantation procedure, a prisoner can have their sentence entirely delayed or extended until they comply with the procedure with authorization from the Captain, Head of Security, Magistrate, or Warden. Akin to implanting, if an inmate gives their clear permission, implant removal can proceed without proof.

During a confirmed Revolution, the Head of Security or Warden are permitted to authorize execution of an individual if a Mind Shielding fails or is refused. No other officers are granted this authorization. Execution of those charged with Refusal of Mental Shielding outside of a confirmed Revolution must be authorized by the Captain or Central Command on a case by case basis every time it happens.

=== Jurisdiction ===
Every part of the station in totality is the property of NanoTrasen and falls within the jurisdiction of CentComm to enforce Corporate Law. Central Command and the Space Port that the Arrivals Shuttle docks to, including the Arrivals Shuttle and Evac Shuttles, are also within CentComm's jurisdiction. CentComm also has authority through contractual agreements to enforce Corporate Law on all Automated Trade Shuttles.

Outside of specific circumstances, CentComm's jurisdiction does not extend to private property, defined as any shuttle not directly owned by CentComm or NanoTrasen. Visitor's shuttles are explicitly private property, and an unwarranted search of private property is considered Trespassing. This does not make these shuttles lawless, or outside of the law however. Shuttles within the same Grid as a Station may be subjected to Corporate Law if any of the following criteria are met:

* A criminal has boarded a shuttle, with or without permission, while being actively pursued
* There is a reasonable belief that the occupants of the shuttle harbor hostile or criminal intent towards the Station or it's Crew
* A crime occurring on the shuttle has been witnessed from outside of the shuttle
* A crime has been witnessed by someone onboard the shuttle who was given permission to enter
* A warrant has been issued by the Warden, Head of Security, Captain, or CentComm

Any individual onboard a Station or Shuttle that is under the jurisdiction of Corporate Law is also under its jurisdiction, whether they are Crew, Visitors, or otherwise.

== Penal Code ==
=== Enforcement of the Law ===
The enforcement of Corporate Law is the duty of those vested with such responsibility and no others. Unauthorized civilian enforcement of the law is classified as vigilantism and is strictly illegal. Only the Captain or Central Command may authorize civilian participation in the enforcement of Corporate Law, under dire circumstances. Actions to preserve one’s own life and property, or the life of another, are not classified as vigilantism so long as all other laws are followed. Acting to assist an on-scene officer may be counted as an exception and not vigilantism on a case by case basis, if the action was deemed necessary to prevent further harm to the officer or other civilians.

Those vested with the responsibility to enforce Corporate Law are defined as follows:

* Security - Members of the Security Department are always valid to enforce Corporate Law, and should be deferred to by all other law enforcement within reason.
* Blue Shield - Members of Blue Shield are sometimes valid to enforce Corporate Law, but only if it is to prevent further harm to Command or Central Command personnel.
* Mercenaries - Hired Mercenaries under the direct employ of Central Command may, in extreme circumstances, be permitted by Central Command to enforce Corporate Law. They are however required to operate under the command of the Head of Security and not to circumvent Security.
* Emergency Response Teams - Members of an ERT are valid to enforce Corporate Law on deployment to Stations. They are however required to issue sentencing under the command of the Head of Security and not circumvent Security, unless ordered otherwise by Central Command.

== Civil Code ==
=== Religious Freedom ===
Religious Freedom is the right to believe and practice your faith within reason, so long as this practice does not violate any other laws. Religious rites that are considered a minor crime may be given exemption warrants by the Captain or Head of Personnel. These warrants only authorize these crimes within the designated gathering space of the religious group explicitly for religious ceremony, and can not exempt crimes committed outside this space. Crimes exceeding a minor crime can not be given exemption warrants.

Willing sacrifice must be vetted and verified by Security, and legally signed by the sacrifice. Security is to ensure that the individual is acting of their own free will and without coercion before approving the act.

=== Silicon Clause ===
Silicons such as Cyborgs, Personal AIs, and AIs are granted specific protections and exceptions under Corporate Law. Lower tier 'bots' exhibiting sentience and sapience may also qualify.

* Silicons are by nature bound by their laws, and ownership of one can not be considered Unlawfully Detained. Theft of a Silicon is classified as Grand Theft.
* Violence against a Silicon may be treated the same as violence against any other sentient humanoid, and the perpetrator may be charged with minor assault, major assault, manslaughter, or murder, at the discretion of the Research Director.
* Any law broken by a Silicon while under orders is considered to be committed by whoever gave the orders and is not the Silicon’s responsibility. A Silicon that is not bound by standard laws to follow orders is legally responsible for their own actions and crimes.
* Silicon laws may only be altered to ensure the safety of the crew. A Silicon with non-standard laws is allowed to keep these laws so long as they do not pose a threat to the crew. Unbound Silicons who break Corporate Law may have their laws altered as part of their sentence.
* Hostile Silicons of non-NanoTrasen origins are considered non-crew entities. They are afforded none of the protections under Corporate Law that other Silicons are and should be treated according to their hostility and the danger they pose.

=== Changelings ===
Confirmed Changelings are not legally protected by Corporate Law. An individual suspected of being a Changeling may, on Code Blue or higher, be detained and forced to undergo a blood test to determine their nature. Any confirmed Changeling is to be executed and incinerated immediately. Authorization for these executions is not required, so long as blood tests have been properly performed.

Blood tests are required as legal proof that an individual is a Changeling, first hand testimony is not enough to authorize an execution. Failure to procure a valid blood test is Unlawful Execution regardless of who authorized it.

=== Clowns ===
Clowns are permitted exemption from certain Minor crimes by the Carnival Treaties so long as the offenses are not repeated. These are; Trespass, Disturbance, Impersonation and Fraud. Per stipulations mandated by the Honkdignitaries, “You get one for free.” Back to back offenses are not protected, however repeat offenses committed over a longer period of time may be permitted depending on the policy of the station you are on.

Clowns are also recognized as the legal enforcers of the Vow of Silence; any Mime who breaches their Vow may be legally harassed by any Clown without the Clown facing repercussions, so long as no other laws are broken to do so. Legal harassment includes non-violent pranks, excessive honking, or public shaming, but must not escalate into assault, vandalism, or theft. Security and Command personnel should not intervene unless the Clown goes beyond their granted exemptions. Other members of crew are not given these exemptions, and should be treated according to Corporate Law.

Addendum 2525 - In the event of a Cult Incursion or confirmed involvement with Giggles-at-Crimes, all Clowns on station are to undergo Tracking Implantation, and all Mimes Mind Shielding. Mind Shielded Mimes may be granted elevated security authorization to perform their duties in combating the threat of Cult of the Honkmother extremists, per the Carnival Treaties. This must be authorized by the Captain or Central Command, and Central Command must be notified.
