XdwbX Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Why does arrest mean brig for so many people? There's many mentions of "being taken out of the round" by being arrested and brigged, and how it's not fun to be left alone in the brig. Well, yeah, the brig isn't fun. It's the brig, not a carnival. If someone is doing something that could be deemed harassment, or in the very least a disruption to the crew, I don't think it is unreasonable to cuff them, drag them to processing/interrogation,inform them of why their actions/behavior was uncalled for, inform them of what would happen should they continue, and send them on their way. If their attitude warrants it, I think a catch-and-release kind of thing could help, in the long term. Alternatively, make any minor infractions that don't warrant cuffing a situation that the accused is called into the security lobby, and it is explained why they should they cease, or cite a regulation that's being broken. Leave it voluntary, and take the offender's reaction into consideration when moving forward, or make it a mandatory request, that would then warrant an officer approaching them (should they no-show), and requesting they return to security with the officer. Should they still refuse, then escalate to cuffing. I've seen a lot a xenophobic things said IC that, were this closer to a real-life corporation, would have HR breathing down someone's neck before they can inhale to replace the air lost in the offending statement. Since we have no Human Resources department (or what I called Sentient Life Resources), we can use security for this purpose. I kind of like the idea on the grounds that it means an abrasive, bigoted, yet law-minded crew member might still have that run-in with security, and, should all parties play along, have a RP opportunity they likely wouldn't have otherwise. Even a well-intended statement by an open-minded, and accepting person may be taken the wrong way and shake things up in their company-loyal, regulation-abiding life. On the other hand, and this has been said by several people, I've seen too many xeno characters that have been far too sensitive to something even remotely critical of their heritage/family/person/occupation/tradition/mannerisms. tl:dr - Security can not arrest someone for smack-talk until it becomes threatening to the station, or anyone aboard. Until then, the offended party should file a complaint with the appropriate department.
Guest Menown Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 >What are incident reports If people are being harassing, even if you're a human and you're being called cuntfucker the fagstick the third, make an incident report. If the DOC have five or six cases of harassment, something will be done about it, because obviously a lack of any punishment for it isn't working.

This and DO's can't do squat if all you do is complain in round and OOCly, and never report it as an incident report.
