Basically, not every crook deserves jail time. like it takes half an hour to get the crook a lawyer and it always ends up being a 5 minute plea deal over something non violent. I get the whole "cant do the time don't do the crime " saying but there should be an alternative punishment where every ones wins. Community service or public apology. This will only for offenders with citations or non violent crimes/ misdemeanors (up to the discretion of the supervisor, arresting officer and or lawyer) and the offender can choose to accept the punishment.
The community service can be something like taking a alcohol wipe and /me cleans cell while in character hold the wipe to physically clean the cell, he of course will be supervised. That can be added with a public apology in adverts or just the public apology its self.
Simply the public apology will be done in a 1 or 2 or so paragraph advert to the PD and City for their reckless actions.
once the advert is read by the supervisor or officer and they are satisficed , the offender can be let go with a stern warning and clean record.
this can also be used to help reduce a sentence while in lock up. (bro its boring af in the cells)
basically this is a win for everyone.
they supervisor doesn't have to be tied up with someone with a small offense and don't have to waste time waiting for a lawyer and write a plea deal.
Everyone wins here.
The crook gets a chance to keep a clean record and learn humility.
and the NYPD can actually focus on more serious issues. I mean half the officers let these guys go in the end since there's a lot going on and the offenders charge isn't that serious.
Also itll be funny to see the apologies in adverts and a guy cleaning the cells or office in pd.
Either way community service is used irl and this can be done in server with out installing more mods. I also thought of this just an hour ago, so please give your input and advice.
