|Follow proper arrest procedure and have a legitimate cause to arrest in the first place before you brig a suspect for this. Suspects who scream bloody murder while being arrested are not cooperating.

|-

|Remember to take the stolen items from the person and arrange for their return. Stealing an ID is the most common and most serious form of pick-pocketing.

|-

|Botanists and MedSci staff are authorized to possess drugs for purposes of their jobs and are not subject to this law so long as they are not distributing or using them for profit or recreation. This law also applies to characters less than 21 years old that are found to be in possession of alcohol.

|Running around the station naked. The mutual degradation of chasing a naked man down while he screams rape is only worth it on slow shifts.

|Vandalism that does not harm the station or its equipment. Graffiti falls under this.

|Keeping items which are in short supply where they belong is what is important here. A doctor who takes all the surgical tools and hides them still commits theft, even though he had access.

|Remember that people can either break in, sneak in, or be let in. Always check that the suspect wasn't let in to do a job by someone with access, or was given access on their ID. Trespassing and theft are often committed together; both sentences should be applied.

|Depending on the amount and kind of force used, severe instances should be elevated to attempted manslaughter or even murder. Assaults with deadly weapons are a higher crime.

|Forcing or tricking someone to consume substances such as space drugs is assault. This law also applies to those who distribute alcohol to persons under 21 years of age.

|Items capable of a high level of damage, such as saws, axes, and hatchets fit into this category. Do remember that if it is an item that is part of their job they are permitted to carry it.

|A comprehensive list of these items can be found here: [[Contraband]].

|Sentence depends on quantity of property damaged.

|It is required to order the crowd to disperse, failure to disperse is the crime, not the assembly. Any crimes committed during the riot are considered separate offenses.

|Good examples of this crime involve accidentally causing a plasma leak, slipping hazard, accidentally electrifying doors, breaking windows to space, or Security personnel not keeping their equipment secure.

|Weapons fall into this category, as do valuable items that are in limited supply such as insulated gloves, spacesuits, and jetpacks. <br>Note that Cargo breaking open crates to illegally arm and armor themselves are guilty of theft.

|Crew can still be charged with breaking & entry even if they do not enter the area themselves.

|Charge issued by a head of staff to one of their direct subordinates. The person is usually demoted instead of incarcerated. Security is expected to assist the head in carrying out the demotion.

{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#DBA84C;" border="1" cellspacing="0"

|Criminals who attempt to disarm or grab officers while fleeing are guilty of this, even if barehanded. Officers should refrain from using lethal means to subdue the criminal if possible.

|Any item that can cause severe bodily harm or incapacitate for a significant time. The following personnel has an unrestricted license to carry weapons and firearms: Captain, HoP, all Security Personnel. <br>The Barman is permitted his double-barrel shotgun loaded with beanbag rounds. <br>'''Only the Captain and HoS can issue weapon permits.'''

|Scientists and Miners are permitted to possess explosives only whilst transporting them to the mining asteroid, otherwise, their experimental bombs must remain within the Science department.

|Additionally to the brig time the offender will also have restrictions placed on their radio traffic and be implanted with a tracking implant. For second offenses or outright instigating violent uprisings consider charging with Mutiny.

|Deliberately releasing N2O, bolting doors, disabling the power network, and constructing barricades are but some of many means of sabotage. For more violent forms, see Grand Sabotage.

|Being in a very high-security area, such as the armory or the Captain's Quarters, is a more serious crime, and warrants a time of 10 minutes with a possible permabrigging if the intent is believed to be malicious.

|As a major crime sentences start at 7 minutes, but can be extended if security believes the break-in was for attempted Grand Theft or attempted Grand Sabotage (insulated gloves don't count as grand theft).

|Any variety of tools, chemicals or even construction materials can inflict serious injury in short order. If the victim was especially brutalized, consider charging them with attempted murder.

|Intent is important. Accidental deaths caused by negligent actions, such as creating workplace hazards (e.g. gas leaks), tampering with equipment, excessive force, and confinement in unsafe conditions are examples of Manslaughter.

|Objects in this category are highly illegal, and are produced by organizations or companies outside of Nanotrasen.

|In the case of officers taking fine money for themselves, a demotion is recommended for the offending officer. An officer forgetting to deposit fine money is not a crime, providing they hand over the money when requested to.

|A demotion is often included in the sentence. Emphasis on the word critical: An officer taking a break is not dereliction in of itself. An officer taking a break knowing that operatives are shooting up the Captain is.<br>Engineers who do not secure a power source at the start of the shift and heads of staff who abandon the station can also be charged.

|Punishment should fit the nature of both the crime and the criminal. Murder committed by temporary emotional distress, such as fear or anger, warrants lower punishments. Cyborg candidates must have brains fit to obey relevant laws. Life imprisonment is the most humane option for the insane who might malfunction as cyborgs. Important: Shadowlings and Changelings can be charged under this law due to do how their mechanics function. <br>'''Unauthorised executions are classed as Murder.'''

|ERP scenes, regardless of OOC consent by all parties, is a violation of server rules, and worthy of a permanent ban. Adminhelp it if this happens to you or you see it; it's against server rules, not just station rules.

|Remember, if a person attempts to render first aid after the victim falls into a critical state they may not have the intent to kill them.

|Mutiny is not as clear cut as it may seem, there may be a legitimate reason for their actions, such as their head of staff being utterly incompetent. This is one of the few crimes where it is recommended to always seek a third party opinion. If their actions are determined to be for the betterment of Nanotrasen consider a timed sentence or even a full pardon.

|To engage in maliciously destructive actions, seriously threatening crew or station.

|<br>Syndicate agents frequently attempt to steal cutting-edge technology. Examples include: intelligence or research samples, the Hand Teleporter, the Captain's Antique Laser, the Captain or the HoP's ID cards, or Mechs.<br> <br> This is by no means an exhaustive list of items that are high value to the syndicate; when in doubt use common sense when you see certain items that are stolen that can cause massive problems throughout the station. Remember if something is locked up in a secure area it probably should not be taken without prior permission.   

|Current enemies of Nanotrasen currently include The Syndicate (through secret agents, boarding parties, and brainwashing specialists), The Wizard Federation, The Changeling Hivemind, The Cult of Nar'Sie, The Cult of Ratvar, and Vampires. <br>Note that this is one of the few crimes where you may summarily execute someone for if they present a significant risk to detain them.
