Good morning ladies and gentlemen of Gaminglight! Recently while playing on the server I noticed that some people are unaware of their rights not only just on the server, but also in real life. The first 10 United States amendments are called the "Bill of Rights" for a reason and they are supposed to protect you, and I figured since this is an in-depth roleplay server it would greatly enhance the players' roleplay experience to be able to exercise these rights. So here are a simplified version of them created by the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) that I hope you can apply to the server. *The astricts represent the ones that can be most commonly applied to the server and the ones I see most commonly infringed upon *AMENDMENT 1? (The Mayor)Congress can’t make any law that: Favors one religion over another religion, or no religion at all, or opposes any religion; Stops you from practicing your religion as you see fit; *Keeps you from saying whatever you want, even if you are criticizing the President of the United States; Prevents newspapers, magazines, books, movies, radio, television or the internet from presenting any news, ideas, and opinions that they choose; *Stops you from meeting peacefully for a demonstration or protest to ask the government to change something. AMENDMENT 2 (The Mayor)Congress can’t stop people from having and carrying weapons.-Exept for specific MOTD rules regarding certain weapons AMENDMENT 3 You don’t have to let soldiers live in your house, except if there is a war, and even then Congress needs to pass a law and set the rules. *AMENDMENT 4 Nobody can search your body, or your house, or your papers and things unless they can prove to a judge that they have a good reason for the search. AMENDMENT 5 Except during times of war or if you are in the military: You can’t be tried for any serious crime without a Grand Jury meeting first to decide whether there’s enough evidence against you for a trial; If at the end of a trial, the jury decides you are innocent, the government can’t try you again for the same crime with another jury; You cannot be forced to admit you are guilty of a crime and if you choose not to, you don’t have to say anything at your trial at all; You can’t be killed, or put in jail, or fined, unless you were convicted of a crime by a jury and all of the proper legal steps during your arrest and trial were followed; and The government can’t take your house or your farm or anything that is yours, unless the government pays for it at a fair price. *AMENDMENT 6 (Only when there is a judge and a legal team on) If you are arrested and charged with a crime: You have a right to have your trial soon and in public, so everyone knows what is happening; The case has to be decided by a jury of ordinary people from where you are, if you wish; You have the right to know what you are accused of doing wrong and to see and hear and cross-examine the people who are witnesses against you; You have the right to a lawyer to help you. If you cannot afford to pay the lawyer, the government will. *AMENDMENT 7 You also have the right to a jury when it is a civil case (a law case between two people rather than between you and the government). *AMENDMENT 8 The government can’t make you pay more than is reasonable in bail or in fines, and the government can’t inflict cruel or unusual punishments (like torture) even if you are convicted of a crime. AMENDMENT 9 Just because these rights are listed in the Constitution doesn’t mean that you don’t have other rights too. AMENDMENT 10 Anything that the Constitution doesn’t say that (The Mayor)Congress can do, is left up to the states and to the people.

Welcome back

I personally am against this due to the fact that it will take away from SWAT/SRT’s job, and is not necessary. The HNC is not a thing IRL. What you could do is replace SRT with its counterpart HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) {this is due to them both being under the title of an FBI branch}. This will likely piss off SRT and will never get passed.

Actually if we wanted to be realistic negotiators don’t walk up to the hostage taker because that could cause the negotiator to become a 2nd hostage. They find a way to communicate over cellphone. Also there is a branch of the fbi called HRT (it’s SRT’s counterpart) it stands for hostage rescue team. They only get involved in situations where there is a hostage, but they are a SWAT team for negotiations. Normally they do have a tactical team take over negotiations, or some member of command. (Edit) And yes a negotiator is going in with a bullet proof vest and a hidden pistol. 2ndly SWAT has less to do than you think because not everyone wants to rob the bank, and no one wants to risk printers or high risk hostage situations.

When I read the title I thought you meant like what the payday gang done to the car in Hoxton breakout and ppl would be driving around with cars like this XD
