Feedback

I don't like this verbiage:

(i) to have this offence be proven, a government employee must use the /inspect command to ensure no edits had occurred afterwards.

This is implied also, and should be dept policy when charging. We shouldnt be micromanaging to this level in law.

I don't like this verbiage:

(a) enters an area that has been restricted to public access via a no trespassing sign, book, or another form of communication visible from every entrance.

There needs to be reason here. i.e.

(a) enters an area that clearly and reasonably communicates that it is restricted from public access.

This is a silly double up of trespassing. I don't think it needs to be greater than normal - they havent even entered the vault yet lol.

(4) Part VIII of the Criminal Code Act shall be amended by adding the following violation, and the offences shall be renumerated accordingly:
7 - Bank Trespass
Offence Type: Summary
Penalty: 15 Penalty Units; 5 minutes imprisonment
A person commits an offence if the person:
(a) trespasses behind the 'No Trespassing' sign in the bank

Did you perhaps reach out to me to ask me to change or motion to amend this? If there is a problem with my wording, I am free to work with you on it.
