Severe Crimes

1) Studying in Town

The towns are meant to be a safe haven for all, not a

place for people to be assassinated, or for others to prepare to assassinate them while they are enjoying life. Thus, any person caught studying another person in town may be immediately marked a criminal by the Tribune in question. To ensure that they do not come out afterwards and study anew, the Tribune is not allowed to offer bail in these cases. Length of the sentence is up to Tribunal discretion. Death should very, very rarely be given as a punishment for this sort of offense, and ONLY to multiple repeat offenders.

2) Hiding in Town

At times, a Tribune may need to view a person to ensure

that they have their weapons sheathed, or that they are not studying someone. When one is requested to stop hiding by a Tribunal for these purposes, one must comply. Failure to do so gives the Tribunal justification to mark said person as a criminal and apprehend them. A Tribune may NOT, however, execute a person for refusing to cease hiding, although all other actions are up to the Tribune's discretion. A warning should be given to the person who is hiding, before the Tribune marks them as a criminal.

3) Disrespecting Tribunes

Tribunes are not to be disrespected; if there is a true, legitimate problem, it should be addressed to the Council. Any form of physical or verbal disrespect, from calling the Tribune names, spitting on them, defecating on them, vomiting on them, or things along these lines are strictly illegal. The Tribune should offer a warning, first, when this occurs; if it continues, the Tribune is within his rights to mark the person as a criminal. Tribunes may NOT, however, execute a person for disrespect. If the person in question is already a criminal, however, the Tribune may, if he so desires, upgrade the level of their original offense, for example from petty to severe.

4) Changes to the Laws on Severe Crimes

As per the concept of 'Flexibility of the Law' under

the tome of 'Principles of the Tribunal,' these laws may be changed at any point in time, based on the methodology enumerated under the principle stated in 'Flexibility of the Law'.

So decreed by Lord Martineius, Councillor of the Tribunal.
