Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great
bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in
writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even
if there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances
in which it is made, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to
the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the
threat, and thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own
safety or for his or her immediate family’s safety is guilty under this code section.

personnel providing treatment in the reasonable belief of imminent physical harm or
offensive contact is guilty under this code section.
Violation of Penal Code (1)06 is a misdemeanor punishable by 120 seconds imprisonment.

A person who takes a direct step towards killing another person and intended to kill that
person is guilty under this code section.
Violation of Penal Code (1)08 is a felony punishable by 240 seconds imprisonment and a fine of

under this code section.
Violation of Penal Code (1)09 is a felony punishable by 270 seconds imprisonment.
NOTES:

Manslaughter is homicide that is not premeditated or proven to have intent or an opportunity to

pause and reflect on killing that person. An opportunity to reflect (and therefore possibly change
your mind) demonstrates premeditation and is murder. Manslaughter is only charged in the
penal code when some sort of criminal negligence or action can be proven. Killing someone
while driving drunk is manslaughter.

(1)10. Murder

NOTES:

Murder is defined clearly by a person’s premeditated forethought or plan to commit the murder.
Manslaughter happens in a heat of passion, by criminal negligence or accident, or for some
other incident that is not expected. The only exception to this is when someone commits a
planned felony, such as planning to commit an arson. If someone dies as a result of the
premeditated arson, it is no longer manslaughter and instead murder.

2. A person who commits murder during a kidnapping or hostage situation is guilty under this
code section.
3. A person who commits murder against an off duty law enforcement officer for any reason
relating to their job as a law enforcement officer is guilty under this code section.
Violation of Penal Code (1)11 is a felony punishable by life imprisonment or death sentence.
NOTES:

The murder of an off duty law enforcement officer who intervenes in a crime counts as murder
of an on duty law enforcement officer, as the law enforcement officer becomes “on duty” at the
point in which he starts to intervene.

(1)12. False Imprisonment

A person who intentionally and unlawfully restrained, detained, or confined a person and
made the person stay or go somewhere against his or her will is guilty under this code

Violation of Penal Code (1)13 is a felony punishable by 210 seconds imprisonment.
NOTES:

Kidnapping is generally the taking of a person with force or violence. Note the use of the term
“arrests” should not be taken to mean that an improper attempt at a citizen's arrest is a
kidnapping. The taking of a hostage to prevent one's arrest also qualifies as kidnapping
regardless of the use of violence.

under this code section.
Violation of Penal Code (1)15 is a misdemeanor punishable by 60 seconds imprisonment and a fine
of $2,000.

(1)16. Reckless Endangerment - Felony

A person who under circumstances indicating a depraved indifference to human life
recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to another person is guilty
under this code section.
Violation of Penal Code (1)16 is a felony punishable by 180 seconds imprisonment.
NOTES:

More than mere indifference, a person acts with a depraved indifference to human life when
they recklessly engage in conduct that poses a grave risk of death. A person has a depraved
indifference to human life when that person has an utter disregard for the value of human life –
a willingness to act, not because he or she means to cause grievous harm, but because he or she
simply does not care whether or not grievous harm will result. In other words, a person who is
depravedly indifferent is not just willing to take a grossly unreasonable risk to human life.
Instead, that person does not care how the risk turns out.
Title 2. Crimes Against Property And Criminal

4. This crime cannot stack with any form of Burglary

NOTES:

Trespassing lacks any intention of committing a crime or other malice aforethought or action.

act of burglary is trespassing, which would account for instances where there is no intent to
commit a crime, no locked door or other physical restriction.

(2)05. Possession Of Burglary Tools

1. A person who has in their possession the appropriate combination of tools necessary to
commit burglary, such as a tension bar along with a screwdriver, shimmy, or other
appropriate items is guilty under this code section.

of $1,000.
NOTES:

It must be demonstrated that the person has a certain combination of these tools or in an

services is guilty under this code section.

NOTES:

Extortion depends on a person or organization using its authority, power, or influence to

intimidate and threaten someone in return for property or services. Property may be demanding
money to keep quiet or demanding a certain personal payment to prevent a strike.
Extortion may serve in lieu of corruption depending on the circumstances, or if it involves a
private organization.
A union threatening a strike or collective worker action is NOT extortion unless a specific leader
or member is being paid to influence union operations.

(9)00. Exception
1. Penal code entries, by default, may be modified by Sentencing Enhancements within Title 13.
However, should a penal code entry be the exception to a Sentencing Enhancement or
contain an exception within its description, then that exception shall be followed instead of
the Sentencing Enhancement policy.
2. For example, (1)08. Murder cannot be charged for an attempt as an entire charge, (1)06.
Attempted Murder, exists for that purpose.
3. Penalties are, as stated, stackable for each occurrence. Committing assault against someone
multiple times is worthy of a charge for each time, as long as they are separate police
 incidents, occur at different time, occur to different people, or are charged for each
prohibited object that is possessed. Charges can also be stacked for each person they are
committed against. Unless an exception exists explicitly.
4. Each stacked charge equals the additional punishment time for that charge. A person who
commits two counts of assault will be charged twice the amount of time, so long as it does
not violate maximum imprisonment policies.

firearms permit suspension or revocation depending on the penal code entry of the firearms
violation. If no description exists, it shall be up to officer discretion.
If a person receives two suspensions of their firearms permit they shall have their permit
revoked immediately upon the second incident.
These violation policies also apply, where appropriate, to licenses and permits issued to
facilities and organizations.
These policies also apply to any current and future firearms permits created for purposes
determined by the agency responsible for firearms regulation.

(9)05. Criminal Accomplice Clause

 A person who acts as an accomplice, aid, adviser, or other supportive role to another
person's attempted or successful criminal acts shall receive HALF the punishment allotted to

1. A person who has a reasonable belief that they, or another, are in imminent danger of being
killed, seriously injured or unlawfully touched and believe that imminent force is needed to
prevent that danger and use no more force than is necessary to negate that danger will be
absolved of criminal liability in Title 1. Crimes Against the Person. ALL these requirements
must be met to be completely absolved of criminal liability.
2. This also applies in the case of a person who is protecting their home from imminent danger
or robbery when on private property.
3. This defense cannot be applied in cases of gang on gang violence or in other such instances
where the party claiming the defense was put at risk of immediate danger by their own
involvement with actionable criminality.

(10)03. Necessity
1. A person who commits an offense out of necessity to protect themselves or others from
significant bodily harm or emergency, has no adequate legal alternative, did not create a
greater danger through their actions and held an actual and reasonable belief that their
 action was necessary to prevent harm, will be absolved of criminal liability for the offense
deemed to be committed as a necessity to prevent greater harm.
2. This defense cannot be applied in cases of gang on gang violence or in other such instances
where the party claiming the defense was put at risk of immediate danger by their own
involvement with actionable criminality.

(10)04. Entrapment
1. A person who would not have committed an offense if not for the harassment, threats, or
coercion to do so by members of law enforcement cannot be found guilty of the offense that
they were persuaded to commit.

1. A person who commits any offense in response to immediate threats to kill from a third
party and does so in order to negate those threats cannot be found to have had the required
criminal intent with which to be held liable for an offense.
2. The only exception to this are severe crimes against the person, such as torture, murder,
and attempted murder, as it is not justifiable to take or severely harm another life unless in
an act of self defense.

(10)06. Suspicion Policy

1. A peace officer's justifiable suspicion of a person to commit or conspire to commit a crime is
sufficient to allow that individual to be detained for questioning, however they cannot be
searched beyond a legal Terry Frisk for the officer’s safety unless probable cause or
concurrent evidence emerges.
2. A person who is at the scene of a crime, riot, or major public disturbance may also be
classified under the suspicion policy for temporary detainment.

punishment in lieu of the typical punishment.
3. Officers cannot elect Officer Discretion if the independent victim, property owner, or
affected party chooses to press charges against the perpetrator.

misdemeanor or greater offense and the citizen wishes to restrain the individual until proper
authorities can arrive to support, assist, or assess the situation.

out official government business, so long as it doesn’t extend beyond the powers, duties,

during official government business to save or protect their life or assist informing official
agents.

misdemeanor or felony-level punishment with imprisonment in a county or state
penitentiary.
2. All sentences are carried out at the San Andreas State Correctional Facility.
3. Each bullet number (referred to as an element) in a penal code entry refers to an applicable
charge for each entry. Violating any one of the descriptions is a violation of the penal code
entry.
4. So long as no exceptions are stated in the penal code entry, charges can be stacked for
additional imprisonment. See (10)00. Exception for details.
5. ((Persons who roleplay without a sound mind will still, in any case, be arrested and charged
for the crime they commit. Technically they’d be delivered to an appropriate institution
in-character but are dropped off to the local county or state jail before being sent there.
They may and would not be placed with the regular prison population.))

(10)10. Wiretapping, CCTV & Videotaping Policy

1. The State of San Andreas shall have a one-party notification policy for wiretapping without

around all public facilities, from police dashcams, or when subpoenaed by a private business
that claims to have CCTV cameras installed. Public CCTVs cannot be tampered, modified,
stolen, or destroyed.))
NOTES:

So long as one party (either person on the phone, in a facility, or other location where a
conversation or event is being recorded) is aware of the situation it is considered a legal
recording. Property owners always have full surveillance rights to their property and facilities,
parking lots, etc. they maintain.

(10)11. Police Exigency & Hot Pursuit Policy

2. A person who gives a government employee permission to view or access a facility,
equipment or other areas is permitting an officer to view a facility for probable cause or
plain view evidence.
3. Probable Cause does not have a specific definition, but refers to the ongoing premise that an
officer’s “gut feeling” supported by plain view evidence (such as the smell of marijuana or
other items) that would imply a probable situation of criminality and authorize a search
based on that evidence. Probable Cause can be circumstantially contested in a court of law.
 4. San Andreas State Parks Rangers have the authority to search persons and vehicles inside or
near the state parks that they believe to be carrying animals for the purposes of checking

vehicles they generally believe to be carrying animals for the purposes of checking bag limits
