Roanian Polizei

The Roanian police, or polizei, are some of the harshest judicial officers on the planet.

They are authorised to use lethal force, should they catch anyone breaking the law.

They are armed with a variety of weapons, the details of which are classified. They can be male or fema

They embody the law. They are judge and executioner.

((I'll add more later. The laws will be up soon))

Murder: A long, horrible torture that won't be described here, followed by a long agonising death.

Cheating on taxes: Double the amount stolen is removed from the bank account.

Perjury: A public flogging.

Roanian Laws and punishments

Murder: A long, horrible torture that won't be described here, followed by a long agonising death.

One would think that killing them would be enough. Why the neccesity for torture and an agonizing death ? This will not bring back the ones who were lost, nor will it make the families feel better. Also it is a provin fact that this sort of punishment does little to discourage other offenders. Must murders are crimes of passion where the conciquences are not considered.

Manslaughter: Death.

This seems a bit extreme for an accidental or non-intentional death.

Rape: Being used as a test subject for chemical weapons, not being allowed to have a consecrated grave.

No argument

Blasphemy, heathenism: Handed over to Inquisition for torture and stoning.

Torture and stoning has never stopped anyone from having beliefs and sharing them with others. A lot of scientific knowledge has been lost because the church decided that their research was blasphemy.

Being a cult member: Death.

I believe that killing someone for being a part of an orginization (and I am sure that your definition of cult is somewhere along the lines of not being a catholic orginization) as a bit on the extreme side. Perhaps counciling ??

Treason: A long, painful death, regeneration, and then being fed to the dire wolves.

[i]You could just send them over to my refugee program

Cheating on taxes: Double the amount stolen is removed from the bank account.

That seems fair and just, providing that your taxation program if also fair and just.

Perjury: A public flogging.

I like that one

Theft: 15 years in the prison or Inquisitorial dungeon.

It seems a bit extreme if they stole gum...Perhaps if you had different time lengths based on the value of the property ? And I don't think theft of anything is worthy of the Inquisitorial death camp...I mean dungeon.

Serial Killing: Killed and regenerated repeatedly.

They may like that, best to just have it done with and not worry about the possibility of escape

OOC: and now the do-gooders response.

Thank you, Celeborne. Now, I'll respond. For the sake of ease, my words are in normal font. Celeborne's are like this

Roanian Laws and punishments
--------------------
Murder: A long, horrible torture that won't be described here, followed by a long agonising death.

One would think that killing them would be enough. Why the neccesity for torture and an agonizing death ? This will not bring back the ones who were lost, nor will it make the families feel better. Also it is a provin fact that this sort of punishment does little to discourage other offenders. Must murders are crimes of passion where the conciquences are not considered.

And if the torture was broadcast? I know what you are saying, but prison is too light a sentence for them.
------------------
Manslaughter: Death. ((Edit: if remorse is shown: 25 years))

This seems a bit extreme for an accidental or non-intentional death.

Compared to the punishment for murder, it's heaven. However, you can convince me on that. How's this?
------------------
Rape: Being used as a test subject for chemical weapons, not being allowed to have a consecrated grave.

No argument

I'm surprised... actually, I'm not.
------------------
Blasphemy, heathenism: Handed over to Inquisition for torture and stoning.

Torture and stoning has never stopped anyone from having beliefs and sharing them with others. A lot of scientific knowledge has been lost because the church decided that their research was blasphemy.

Blasphemy as in profaning God. Heathenism as in serving ruinous powers.
-----------------
Being a cult member: Death.

I believe that killing someone for being a part of an orginization (and I am sure that your definition of cult is somewhere along the lines of not being a catholic orginization) as a bit on the extreme side. Perhaps counciling ??

Hey, I allow moslems and jews and Greater Wheel buddhists to practice their religion. And if Eastern Orthodox christians ever arrived in Roania, I'd fit them in. Trust me, some cults are dangerous. Very dangerous.

--------------------
Treason: A long, painful death, regeneration, and then being fed to the dire wolves.

You could just send them over to my refugee program

I'm assuming this is a joke.
--------------------
Cheating on taxes: Double the amount stolen is removed from the bank account.

That seems fair and just, providing that your taxation program if also fair and just.

Define 'fair and just'
---------------------
Perjury: A public flogging.

I like that one

Yes, I can see how it would solve several problems.

----------------------

Theft: 15 years in the prison or Inquisitorial dungeon. ((JO decides where, for how long.))

It seems a bit extreme if they stole gum...Perhaps if you had different time lengths based on the value of the property ? And I don't think theft of anything is worthy of the Inquisitorial death camp...I mean dungeon.

Depends on what they steal. It's the Judicial Officer's decision as to the punishment.
--------------------------
Serial Killing: Killed and regenerated repeatedly.

Hmm...

Roanian Laws and punishments
--------------------
And if the torture was broadcast? I know what you are saying, but prison is too light a sentence for them.

I agree, but you must understand that even if you broadcast the torture you would only eliminate a percentage of your premeditated murders and none of your crimes of passion. Perhaps simply killiing them and then confiscating all of their personal property would help. In that case the family of the future murderer would help prevent the crime. (see I am not all do-gooder)
------------------
Compared to the punishment for murder, it's heaven. However, you can convince me on that. How's this?

Roanian Legal Definition of "manslaughter": An accidental death, caused by stupidity or foolishness of the person responsible. Allowing someone to commit suicide would be manslaughter.

Harsh would be killing them and their families and business contacts to stamp the taint out.

Dissenters are not traitors, and they are generally punished when they go on the street and start to protest. People who sell weapons or secrets would be traitors.

Of course, considering how brutal Dire Wolves are... it might be advisable to do it once, film it, and show it to all government employees once every 6 weeks.

Eizen believes that the ROanians are on to soemthing with thier punishment, Crime rates in Eizen are low enough that we do not feel we derive any benefit from harsh punishments, however, our early history was dominated with lawlessness and chaos that was brought under control through an "Iron" Fist, hence our rise as the "Eizen" Empire.

Though we do not agree with your solutions to the problems that undoubtedly run rampent in your country we can see how you would find these punishments to be adequate and as such we do not protest them.

-----------------
Roanian Legal Definition of "manslaughter": An accidental death, caused by stupidity or foolishness of the person responsible. Allowing someone to commit suicide would be manslaughter.

It would seem that there should be some sort of a sliding scale based on the level of stupidity involved in the death. I.E. A drunk driver would recieve a harsher sentance than a little girl who accidently dropped a toy out of a window that landed on someones head and killed them[i/]

We agree completely with the demons and devils part ( we also include anything that supports vampirism). We are curious to know if it is possable for new religions to apply for a certificate of religion ?

"Is there any answer we can give that won't involve a painful nasty death?" Cardinal Richelieu asked the full council.

"Um... we could tell her that the paperwork is in motion, and we're waiting for it to be cleared, but that everyone who wishes to practice those religions may."

"Will she check?"

"Probably."

"Then that's what we'll tell her."

Anyone? Excepting the Inquisition, and the millitary, and the elite of course? Or shall I commit some crimes to test this theory?

The Inquisition is policed by the RIA.

The military is policed by the Inquisition.

The elite are to busy to be bothered with police.

Amazingly, the system works.
