[Real42]

A
BILL
To
Amend the Violent Offences Act​

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, 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 'Kidnapping Act'.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Representative TheReal42Person.
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by Rep. A__C.
(5) This Act has been approved by (Acting) Justice Secretary KingCleaver.

2 - Reasons
(1) There are not very many criminal RP acts.
(2) Kidnapping and/or holding hostages could be a good idea for a crime.
(3) This Act is to make criminal RP more immersive and fun, even though you can clearly use commands such as /spawn to escape.

3 - Section 5 of the Violent Offences Act shall be amended as follows:
“(8) Kidnapping
(i) Classification: Indictable Criminal Offense
The act of locking a player or animal in a room without any way to get out (excluding commands).
Per Offense: $100 fine + 5 minutes jail time”

“(9) Hostage Holding
(i) Classification: Indictable Criminal Offense
The act of holding a player at gunpoint and not letting them leave until they pay you “ransom”. This crime overrides assault and/or kidnapping.
Per Offense: $100 fine + 10 minutes jail time”

PLEASE NOTE: This Act is for criminal RP purposes only and you can easily do /spawn or /home, but there is no fun in that!
