Crime, Arrest, and Prosecution

Recommended Posts

One issue that my person possesses with the criminal element of the game:

A criminal should not be incarcerated for an offense unless the Law enforcement officer, detective, or state possesses PROBABLE CAUSE to incarcerate the individual. For example, a human being should not be deemed as a "suspect" for executing a citizen within the woods at 3:30AM in the morning until evidence confirms that the suspect or individual had committed the act through a combination of methods.

First scenario: A suspect executes a female within the middle of the woods at 3:30AM on Monday. The suspect departs from the location while dropping a tissue on to the ground approximately half a mile from the deceased body. On Wednesday, a jogger or hiker witnesses the deceased body in order to report the offense to Law enforcement officers. The Law enforcement officers secure the scene while investigating the cause of death, date, and time while searching for evidence to confirm the identity of the suspect. Afterwards, canine units are summoned in order to scavenge for evidence until the Law enforcement officer discovers a tissue that is required to be examined by forensic scientists. After the evidence is examined, Law enforcement officers confirm that the tissue that consists of mucus was either A) a former felon known as _______ or B) Unknown suspect. Thus, Law enforcement officers resort to conducting road-blocks in order to swab the gums of an individual. Eventually, the DNA shall be the confirmed suspect, resulting in his arrest on Saturday.

Second scenario: A suspect executes a female along the roadside and drags her body to a river on Monday. After three days, one of the character's peers, family members, employee, or employer contacts Law enforcement officers regarding a "missing person". The suspect is NOT charged with the offense considering that the female might have merely "ran away" rather than being deceased. Thus, after a week, a trucker locates the body of a female that is hidden within the bushes of the road during his "piss break", resulting in the confirmation that the female has been executed. Once again, Law enforcement officers are expected to continue to process of investigating the incident prior to determining whether the suspect had committed the crime....

Third scenario: A suspect stabs a male in the middle of the street at 4:00PM. Several citizens had witnessed the criminal act. Thus, the description of the suspect's physical appearance is disclosed to Law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers utilize the description in order to incarcerate the individual.

Etc...

A suspect should not be classified as a "criminal" that has committed a "criminal offense" if his person were to execute an individual within the middle of the woods, identical to Grand Theft Auto.

TL;DR:

BAD: *Stabs man in woods*.... *WANTED*.

GOOD: *Stabs man in woods*... *NOT WANTED*... *INDIVIDUALS WITNESSES DEAD BODY*... *POLICE CONDUCT FULL-SCALE INVESTIGATION*... *AFTER ATTAINING EVIDENCE, SUSPECT IS ARRESTED*

Pretty much, everyone is innocent until proven guilty xD 

Police will not be able to arrest anyone that is not wanted for a crime (in identity) and also a suspect can be detained for minimum of 24 hours without being charged while police find the evidence to incarcerate them.

Detectives exist to look at the evidence, get witness statements, and present a case to prosecutors. But even then it's not a foolproof system. If a case can not be built to bring a suspect under prosecution, then yes they'd get away with it. I do wonder if detectives will get a automatic notification of someone who was killed though, or if the body has to wait for someone to discover it. If the body has to wait for someone to discover it, I wonder how effective the system will be, as many players just want to focus on doing their own thing.

I agree that this should be an in depth system especially when you look at the prison times. 

For the prison times to be reasonsable it will have to be as close to real life as possible.
