Since I'm just as (if not more) lazy than Zephir, I'm gonna copy//paste this GChat transcript:

GChat
 
me: Yeah. I'd certainly say we're ready to open up the Law Enforcement debate, though.
Zephir: I'll leave it up to you to open it.
me: Cool.
Zephir: You haven't had the opportunity to open one as of yet, so yeah.
6:42 PM Which reminds me, should do a little more with the permission masks...
me: While we're on the subject, any preliminary thoughts on Law Enforcement?
  Besides your militia idea?
Zephir: What, everyone having arms?
me: Yep.
Zephir: Not really, to be honest.
6:43 PM me: There should be somre sort of regulated law group, that's for sure.
Zephir: For sure.
6:44 PM me: We want to stay away from the omnipotent IA/NSA type groups, though.
  ^CIA^
Zephir: Aye, I'd agree.
me: Same style as the RMs and DMs? Horizontal, local groups?
6:45 PM Zephir: Still, it's hard to get anything done without some group that at least doesn't have access to a means of knowing what's happened in a criminal situation...
  Yeah, I'd say so.
me: Hmmm...
  The only problem I see is what you said: coordination.
  And even the existing grous aren't all that good at it.
6:46 PM Zephir: Well, it's not going to be easy to coordinate. However, this is why we're even having debates about them.
  Between the two of us, we could probably hammer out something workable. However, it could always be improved.
me: Alright.
6:47 PM I'll copy/paste this to kick off discussion.
Zephir: Heh, you're just as lazy as I in ways, aren't you?
me: Oh yeah.
  Hold on.
Zephir: Heh.

I say there should be GSEM's
Goverment Situation and Enforcing Managers.
They meet with RM's to settle laws and sorts.
When one comes up with a new law a vote passes for it in the GSEM's.
Then, if both groups have 47 percent voting yes from who voted (seperated by groups still) from each group then they have a meeting to discuss it. There is a new vote the same way, except no meeting after it. There determines the law.

Not certain that there'd be much need for total collaboration between RMs and Law Enforcement, actually, except for in terms of important requisitions.

As for voting, where did you pull 47 percent from?

I'm still leery on giving law-making powers to law enforcers; it seems rather confusing. In fact, I'd like to stay away from giving one group total lawmaking powers.

But on topic, this thread is for enforcement: criminal rights, abilities of agents to track down criminals, etc. Sort of redrafting a more effective FBI.

Never not say something that could confuse people. Epecially something this sensitive.

^^Double postage because I'm just that cool^^

What I'm seeing for large scale law enforcement is a more streamlined, stripped-down version of the FBI. Only with more oversight. Here's my thoughts so far:

  • Agency works with RMs of particular region for equipment requisitions. They decide which equipment is specifically the Agency's and which is simply lent out. The only potential problem here is a new version of the current budget wars. I would like to see more equipment being spread out so that you could have a mobile command post in each time zone. That way requisitions could be faster, and equipment transfers would be kept to a minimum.
  • I'd also like for our proposed Agency to have more stringent search//arrest procedures. Perhaps there would be occasions where they might not have the requisite burden of proof to go after a known criminal, but I'd rather err on the side of limiting their power. I also see the average citizen becoming a greater force in local law enforcement--people should bear some responsability for their area.
  • Although we don't want to go overboard with political correctness when it comes to convicted criminals, I'd like to see a more efficient prison system. The only problem is, I have no ideas on how to accomplish that--so that's you people's job. ;)

These are simply a few basic thoughts I have guiding me. Feel free to add on this subject.

As for prisons... I have a rather interesting solution for that.

Medical technology has to advance somehow, right? Just keep them at labs for the duration of their term. Depending on the severity of the crime, they could have anything from minor cosmetic adjustments to testing replacement hearts. If a few (Or a lot) die, well, it solves the problem in it's own way.

As do I... It would be a frell of a lot more productive to actually put them to use, rather than just executing them.

Indeed, I don't really have anything to add to this.

Although, I do disagree with the experimentation on prisoners. It's just immoral, in my opinion, and is akin to torture, I think.

Just have it stated on the law books that commiting a crime is regarded as vollonteering as a medical test subject. Solves the problem of morality cause people are forewarned.
