BILL
To
Create bail In Redmont
The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:
1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Bill Initiation Act”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

2 - Reasons
- To help create an environment of peaceful and complying citizen arrests on our server. Many players often try to escape being arrested as they see that there is no other option or alternative as they don’t want to spend or waste 10 minutes of their own time. This makes for less peaceful arrests and wastes the time of our police officers who would rather not spend their whole time chasing criminals all day. A bail policy like the on in this bill could help to change this
- To help and expand current budgets in our government especially in the DOJ and fix any deficits in our government especially that of which pertaining to the DOJ.
- To create a far more immersive roleplay experience for the players in our server pertaining to that matter of being jailed and arrested.
- If player commits a crime, the police, will begin the process of arresting the player charged with committing the crime. Upon the instance the player is arrested and managed to not be charged with resisting/escaping arrest the player or any willing party has the choice to pay bail.
- The moment a police officer begins to pursue a player they must tell them to comply and meet with the police officer if they want the possibility to pay bail.
- The cops must warn the player that if they choose to continue to resist arrest they lose the possibility of bail
- Once the player has been apprehended, they will be told their bail amount. The arresting officer will then post the bail amount to be paid in global chat in this format: <name> <crime>, bail set at <amount>
- That amount is equal to double the jail fine for that crime.
- The player or other willing consented parties can choose to pay the bail then.
- In the instance, the player enters jail and then later seeks to choose the option of bail he may be allowed to open a DOJ ticket to seek for his bail for only the first half of his jail time.
- At this point, any willing party may pay bail for the player also.
- In the instance, the player enters jail and then later seeks to choose the option of bail he may be allowed to open a DOJ ticket to seek for his bail for only the first half of his jail time.
- The jailed player or another willing player can choose to pay that amount.
- If they do so, the DOJ will fine the paying player.
- Upon doing so the jailed player will then be released.
4 - Bail Limitations:
- If the police charge the arrested player with escaping arrest, the arrested player and other willing consented parties lose the ability to pay bail.
- Bails will not be allowed for the following crimes;
- Public Nuisance, Contempt of Court, Contempt of Congress, Police Misconduct, National Park, Perjury, Bank Robbery, Market Allocation, Monopolization, charges with more than 6 murder.
- Bails can only be paid/fined for the first half of jail time.
- Other players can pay bails for jailed players however the jailed players must give consent.
- All bail must be logged by the DOJ.
- Paying with bail will not erase any crimes on your criminal record
- No police officer is allowed to bail out another player but themself.
- The paying person/party can’t have a negative balance.
- In situations, of mass emergency or any situation where there is a need to for all cops to respond to a situation. It will be up to the discretion of the DOJ for all arrests arising of that situation on whether or not the crime will be bailable.
- The DEC has the full authority to audit bail money, however the DOJ will maintain all bail profits within their 3/4 of the bail distribution as listed in article 5.
- Persons whom ask for 2 bails within 20 minutes of each other may not be granted the second bail
- Any attempt to not sue over a denied bail will count as an Frivolous Court Case
5- Distribution
- For all matters dealing with the monetary accounts of the bail program, it will be distributed as such:
- Three quarters of all bail money must be apportioned to the DOJ and the matters of such account will be up to the members of the DOJ and its secretary.
- As stated in Article 4, section 2, the DEC will have the right to audit bail money, but it will have no right to cut into the DOJ’s 75% share of the bail money.
- The remaining quarter will be put into the DCgovernment account.
- Three quarters of all bail money must be apportioned to the DOJ and the matters of such account will be up to the members of the DOJ and its secretary.
