Animarnia Press Room
The Large Press room was quite traditional; with seating for all the way from just in front of the podium all the way to the back of the room. The Podium itself was raised on a wooden stage; with a blue curtain backdrop that had he insignia of the Animarnia Presidential office on it. Journalists had gathered and were chatting amongst themselves when President Godwinson entered the room they instantly quietened down to hushed whispers.
The President was around 5ft 9"; she wore a grey suit with white undershirt; she also had shoulder length Red hair that was kept neatly trimmed. she stood at the podium. And cleared her throat and the hushed whispers went to silence.
"Ladies and Gentleman; people of Animarnia, today our congress voted unanimously and I have signed into law the 3 strike system. In order to curb youth violence and unlawful behaviour all persons over 16 and under 25 will be subject to new three strike law. If a person commits three unlawful acts to which they are held accountable they will no longer be sent to a Juvenile facility or sentenced to 'community service' but will be conscripted into our armed forces." The President said.
"We do this because of Age limitations previously in place prevented youths from being tried as adults; youth crime has risen in recent years to unacceptable levels. All attempts to repeal legislation to trail offenders adults has been blocked by Social welfare advocates and has allowed youths to commit crimes such as murder, manslaughter, Arson, and gang related crimes with almost impunity and left the police force powerless due to child protection laws" the president continued.
"There are areas of Animarnia where citizens fear to go out at night because gangs of 40 or more youths patrol the streets looking for trouble. Just last week a young woman of 22 was violently attacked at one of Animarnia's public railway stations suffering grievous injuries at the hands of a gang of youths; Ordinary citizens stood by and watched because they were afraid; afraid the youths would turn on them next. In Parts of Animarnia a youth crime is committed every 36 seconds and all that is said is /they are only children'. I say to you people of Animarnia you no longer need to live in terror and fear of these violent Criminals; you no longer need to cower in your homes. To that end; I have authorised funding to build a new police force, a better police force with the power to clean up these areas, to make them safe again" the president added.
"Ladies and gentleman; today the Judge Corp is born, the Judge Corp has the authority and power to enforce not just the letter of the law but also the spirit of the law long forgotten by these criminals. The Judge Corp can issue a sentence immediately on the spot if a judge observes a crime in progress, all judge activity is recorded in the central archives; arrests, sentences and warnings issued will be kept up to date. The Judge Corp can also call in support from other Judge units with Military grade hardware and firepower if required. In an age where our criminals are better armed and more protected than the police the Judge Corp is our only answer "
At the same time while this speech was happening the Judge Corp started to mobilise; large heavily armed bikes started to patrol streets carrying the new Judges they looked like old fashioned Knights in some ways; clad in heavy blue and gold armour and face covering Red Helmets. Military Black Hawk troop helicopters started to disembark judges all over Animarnia concentrating primarily on crime riddled areas; heavily armed Judge Squad cars started to patrol with Ordinary officers. The Judge Cars were black; and look more like armoured cars than a civilian vehicle. Specially modified and marked Harrier Jump Jets and Attack helicopters patrolled the skies over major crime areas.

A Judge pulled up to an apartment complex; several youths were sat on the steps and causing a nuisance. The Judge dismounted his bike and approached the youths in their sports wear as they harassed passers by.
"You are in violation of Article 42 of the code of justice; Loitering and breach of the peace", the Judge said.
"Screw you init ya dick" one of the youths known commonly as a 'Chav' insulted.
"Insulting an officer of the law"; the Judge added.
The Chav took a swing at the Judge with a baseball bat; the Judge caught the bat in mid swing at the chav's wrist and squeezed easily snapping the bone. The Chav cried in pain "oh shit you broke my wrist, you fucking broke my wrist!" he yelled. Two of the Chav's tried to help there friend swinging empty bear bottles at the Judge. The Judge quickly brought the bat around still held by the Chav with the broken wrist and used it to smack the First Chav In the chest before punching the other clear in the face breaking his nose both dropped like a sack of shit to the ground.
The last Chav tried to make a run for it; however even his Adidas made shoes he was so proud of that he'd bought 'down market' couldn't out run the rubber bullets fired into his back from the Judges 'Lawgiver' pistol that sent the fleeing perpetrator to the deck hard.
"You can't DO this shit! There are laws against this!" the Chav protested as all were cuffed and arrested.
"Haven't you heard. We ARE the law now", the Judge said.
