General Crime & Police Rules

1. Luxe LA is a roleplay sim in a modern urban city that supports criminal backgrounds and combat with our LUXELIFE hud.. Civilian characters when IC should not be immune to being victims of a crime, but in specific circumstances can ask to exit a scene with criminals such as being uncomfortable with the RP topic. In most crime RP scenarios, civilians are expected to fear for their lives and react to the scene in this way. IE. Civilians should not start laughing or twerking during armed robbery.
2. Criminals should be realistic in their actions and RP. Including having realistic reasons for becoming a criminal. Rich characters generally would require a very good reason for turning to a life of petty crime like bank robbery when they already have anything they can reasonably want. White collar crime like money laundering would be more suitable for a rich character. 
3. No RDM allowed. RDM stands for Random Death Match, Criminals must have a good reason for using weapons to kill/knock a civilian. RDM is excused in Compton City.  For examples of RDM, Please see Assault/Murder rules below.
4. Safezones are strictly prohibited from combat. These include all municipal buildings (Courthouse, Police Dept., DMV, Management Office and Hospital). 
5. Private businesses and residences require explicit OOC permission before combat can take place at those locations.
6. Police/Government Corruption is permitted as long as a Lead Moderator is made aware of it OOCly. It should be within reason; cutting deals now and then for friends or mob bosses is OK, shooting up a courthouse as a police officer is not. 
7. Heads of departments, such as the Mayor, Chief Justice, Fire Chief and District Attorney should not be corrupt. This allows for balance and seriousness in our municipal departments.
8. Any corrupt municipal worker faces prison time and losing their position if caught, this is a serious crime offense. 
9. Criminals for a life of crime can face consequences, such as lengthy prison terms and even character death. Their actions should be realistic in reflecting this and fearing the consequences.
10. Major events such as bank robberies, explosions, any act of terrorism and fires in public buildings require administrative approval in writing prior to occurance. Open a #general-help ticket in discord for this approval.
11. Military grade weaponry, such as high explosives, armored vehicles, machine guns, armor piercing firearms, rocket launchers, etc requires administrative approval. This does not apply to non-NFA civilian firearms, including semi automatic rifles.
12. Crimes against a person’s property (House or business) require OOC consent, including setting OOC or IC fire. This can be from a “Yes RP Here” sign (Inferred consent) or a direct permission (Direct consent)
    1. It should be assumed that there is NPCs and Security Cameras in all public  business buildings unless a notice is sent otherwise, these NPCs would witness any crime that occurs and contact the authorities with the proper camera footage.
13. All crime must be actual; We don’t arrest people because they ask, you need to commit an actual crime in Luxe LA and follow due process. Special circumstances such as outstanding warrants, wanted in another jurisdiction, may be considered on a case by case basis.
14. All weapons that are not officially ONSIGHT GUNSTORE weapons are strictly prohibited. To purchase, must complete training and have a gun owners permit. Possession of an illegal firearm is a serious offense.

Jail and Prison Out of Character Rules

The following are OOC rules that may require admin intervention if you violate.

1. Luxe LA operates the jail within the Luxe LA Police Department as well as the federal prison – Sandy Shores Correctional Facility (SSCF)  located in the desert on the Compton City sim (coming soon). Primary jail as well as prison responsibility falls to the LLAPD. 
2. The following RP activities are expressly prohibited in the jail out of respect for other players 
   1. Sexual assault of any kind (Cat calling or other roughhousing may not automatically fall into this category as it is typically expected in a prison environment, but there’s a clear line that shouldn’t be crossed) 
   2. Torture
   3. Extreme violence (Beat downs and violence are fine, graphically detailing ripping someone’s fingers off isn’t needed)
   4. Toilet/shower/Eating. You do not need to rp out these things as the needs hud and LUXELIFE compatible objects will do so for you. 
   5. Any troll like /me’s clearly intent on distracting other roleplayers. This includes on voice trolling OOC or with subject matter that does not reasonably apply to rp scenario. Have fun but stay in character.
   6. If you must roleplay any of the above between OOCly consenting parties in the jail, take it to IM’s for the roleplay.
3. It should always be assumed there are at least two NPC deputies on duty in the jail at all times, who will react accordingly to violence or etc. Use the discord to request real deputies/officers if a situation requires it.
4. The NPC deputies will let people out of their cells for recreation time, food, etc. This is pretty liberal; feel free to walk around the jail block, rec yard, etc for roleplay. You are not confined to your cell unless you’re a specific security risk, and you’ll be informed if you qualify there. However be mindful “free roam” is a privilege that deputies/officers can and will revoke if exploited and confine you to your cell.
5. Payphones are available with your phone call before booking and the payphones in the jail area. These phones are recorded and you must hand over chat logs of any IC conversations if requested.
   1. Collect Call Payphone Prompt (Should open up payphone-based conversations with this for immersion)
      1. This is a collect call from California’s Sandy Shore Correctional Facility, Inmate (INSERT INMATE NAME). Please press 1 to accept the charges and this phone call. If you do not wish to receive phone calls from this inmate, press 2 to be placed on this inmate’s no-call list.
6. Most people in the jail are pre-trial, awaiting bail of some kind. Here’s the rules for bail:
   1. Any arrest for a Misdemeanor (i.e, Drunk Driving) without a warrant can automatically get bail from a NPC judge. You just say you want to bail out, the arresting officer gives you a LC$ Dollars  amount, and you can bail out there or RP in jail until trial.
   2. Any arrest for a Felony, or any arrest based on an arrest warrant regardless of felony or misdemeanor requires a judge to approve bail. This may be automatic; you’ll be notified of the amount, or in more serious cases may require a bail hearing. The courts system will work with you on this.
   3. Bail may be denied in certain circumstances, for example, violent felons may be denied bail, and flight risks may be denied bail. For example, non Luxe LA residents may be denied bail since you may flee the city to avoid trial if you’re released.
7. When sentenced, you may be sentenced to serve time or released on time served depending on the severity of the charges
8. RP Prison Sentences are divided down in the following formula. One year IC = one day OOC someone sentenced to 7 years in prison ICly, this is 7 days OOCly. This does not apply to people in jail pending i.e bail hearings who should be counted in real time:
   1. 2 IRL Hours = 1 IC Month
   2. 24 IRL Hours = 1 IC Year
9. Crime committed outside of the Compton city sim will carry a sentence that is 10x the normal sentence for the same crime. For example, a crime with a 1 month sentence committed in Compton city sim carries a 10 month sentence if committed in the rest of Luxe LA. Sandy Shores is considered a part of Compton city sim. 

 

Jail In-Character Rules
