[Now, things that may break local laws such as littering or dumping waste in public spaces. Fighting and other public disturbances.]
King: We usually just issue fines for those sorts of scuffles, nothing worth calling Johnny Law for.
Garrett: I've seen The Kings and the NVPD extract all sorts of fees. It seems like protection money more than anything…
King: It isn’t cheap running a police force or a gang, and don’t forget about all the good I do for the neighborhood. You haven’t had issues with any bad customers, have you?
Francine doesn’t bother responding but she raises a good point.
[Laws and justice are both unequal across the entirety of the Mojave, which is why we’re here. Before I put down how I want the criminal code, are there any more suggestions or thoughts?]
Nash: There should be a difference between a town law broken and a Directorate law broken.
Ulysses: The old United States had something similar. While the NVD should always have ultimate authority, I agree that maybe these governors should have some freedom to enforce rules.
Garrett: We’re going to need to find places to put these people and hire guards. Almost every settlement has a small sheriffs office with old cells and Freeside has a much larger jail but they’ll need renovated and upkept.
Farkas: Don’t forget the judges! We need impartial men and women who will be able to issue rulings fairly!
Kreger: Any crime done against the NVD, even if that means stealing a pack of smokes from the Department of Agriculture, should be judged harshly and have a minimum sentence.
Ulysses; Agreed. The citizenry needs to understand the importance and power of the Directorate. Treason is punishable by death.
Kreger nods in agreement. No surprise there.
[Secretary Haversam, any input? You’ve been quiet.]
Chris: This isn’t really my expertise. I think people shouldn’t have to be scared and if that means being tough on criminals, they shouldn’t have committed the crimes, right?
You wish Arcade was here, he probably would have given you the best perspective of everyone. But that’s why you’re the boss, you make the decisions.
Ulysses told you that a nation is its laws. What will yours look like? A mirror of the old United States’ robust penal code, similar to the NCR’s? Or will you punish all crime harshly leading to an orderly if constrained society?
Or will you remember the lessons Joshua taught you about the rule of God and how it kept people for millennia?
And there’s always the possibility of breaking the mold like you’ve done before, and creating a completely new system without outside influence.
