Police stops and the law

Stops, fines, warrants, jail and impound.

Version 1, updated History

The NCPD is played by real people. Here is what to expect when you meet them, on either side of the law.

A stop

  • Pull over or stop walking. Keep your hands visible. Answer, or say you'd rather not.
  • An officer may search you and seize anything illegal: synthcoke, drug packs, lockpicks, offensive quickhacks, stolen parts.
  • Carrying a gun needs a licence (500 €⁠$ at 2nd Amendment, Kabuki Market).

Fines

  • An officer offers a fine; you accept or decline with /interaction accept or /interaction decline.
  • A fine is paid from your bank account. If it can't be paid, or you refuse it, you get a level 1 warrant.
  • /fine pay settles unpaid fines at any time and lifts the warrant.

Arrest and jail

  • For a felony you are cuffed, searched, driven to NCPD Headquarters and booked.
  • A booking is 1 to 120 minutes in a cell. A disconnect pauses the sentence; it continues when you are back.
  • Walking away from the cell puts you back in it.
  • You have the right to counsel. Ask for a lawyer.

Impound

A towed or seized vehicle is released at any garage for 500 €⁠$.

The full list of charges is the penal code.
