500: Modifiers & Special Situations

500.1 Sentencing Modifiers

When considering what sentence to apply to an individual, officers are expected to keep in mind the necessary modifiers to their time or fine amount.

As always, sentencing modifiers are typically up to the arresting officer’s judgment.

-30% Surrender Willingly submitting one’s self to police custody, confessing to the crime, and taking the punishment. Not resisting while being arrested does not count as surrendering. You have to turn yourself in.
-15% Cooperation with Law Enforcement Being helpful to officers or ongoing investigations by providing information, details, testimony, or providing names of accomplices.
N/A Self-Defense Committing a crime such as assault or murder that can be justified as it was necessary to prevent the loss of life or grievous bodily harm.
