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. Individuals who willingly cooperate or surrender themselves should be allowed more leeway while others who commit serial crimes or are uncooperative should be given harsher sentences. As always, sentencing modifiers are typically up to the arresting officer’s judgment.

% Modifier Description
-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.
-10% Attempted [...] This reduction is added to any crime that was attempted, but not successfully committed.
+15% [...] of an Officer This enhancement is added to any crime that was committed against a law enforcement officer.
+10% Conspiracy to Commit [...] Planning, conspiring, or taking additional steps to secure the success of a crime, such as laying out a plan for a heist or planning a murder ahead of time.
N/A Aiding and Abetting Assisting with, aiding, or taking part in some portion of a high level or black level offense can make you equally prosecutable for the same crimes. This includes sheltering or assisting a wanted criminal guilty of the aforementioned offenses escape custody or arrest.
+300% Mass [...] This enhancement is added to any crime that an individual has committed said offense multiple times, resulting in the charges stacking.
