What is the "Free Life Act?"
Basically, the Free Life Act is a benefit to criminals of the State. It mandates that if a criminal is killed by any law enforcement agency of the State of Firestone, assuming the criminal is killed legally, the criminal is no longer wanted upon re-spawn.
Why is this an issue?
These days, every noteworthy criminal in the State of Firestone carries a revolver. In the event that a criminal is cornered or is being arrested, they can pull out their firearm and be killed in an ensuing shootout. They will then re-spawn with no bounty on their head and can go on to commit more crime just moments later. I've seen this myself, as it literally happens every single day at Stapleton County.
A criminal can also choose to reset. Yes, I realize the law enforcement agencies of Firestone are permitted to FRP arrest someone if they do this. Thing is, how do you prove it? If a criminal decides to reset, it's going to be an in-the-heat-of-the-moment thing and there's only a few seconds before their body vanishes. The officer most likely isn't going to think to take a screenshot in such a short time. Let's say, the officer still arrests the criminal, then the criminal decides to take him to court. The officer has no evidence to back his side of the story, and chances are that the criminal will win the case.
Solution:
I propose that the Free Life Act be fully repealed and replaced with what I'm going to call the True Justice Act. With the True Justice Act in place, updates would be made to Stapleton County in which a criminal would re-spawn in police custody(jail) after being shot and killed by a law enforcement agency. This would usually be a set amount of time,(5 minutes maybe, give or take) and if the criminal feels they have been jailed unfairly they can send an appeal to the Department of Justice. If the Department of Justice agrees to hear the case, then it will be handled in court.
The True Justice Act would prevent the law-abiding citizens of Firestone from constantly being bothered by criminals committing crime time-and-time again upon re-spawn. It would also provide a deterrent for repeat-offenders by giving them actual punishment, rather than their lego character falling apart for a few brief moments. Finally, it would be fair towards all and provide equal justice without bias.
I ask that the citizens of Firestone show their support for this new idea by saying "Support." in the comments section located down below. If there is something you disagree with in this idea, feel free to mention it and perhaps a compromise can be made.
Thanks in advance. That's all for today, folks.
