Legal Factions Power Distribution

Government Power Distribution & Tasks
The Government Faction, also known as The Mayor's Office of
Greater Los Santos, is a faction based around a city
administration, albeit with greater powers than in real life.
The Government, from here on mentioned as GOV, is tasked with
administering funds to local authorities in order for them to
pay salaries and purchase new vehicles. This includes the San
Andreas Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(if added), Los Santos Fire Department (if added) and other
legal organizations that fall under the administration of a
government. San Andreas Special Forces is not directly funded by
the government as it is a part of the United States Army.
GOV is expected to administer its' funds carefully as to not
overpay and thus restrict the interaction between themselves and
other legal factions, as well as to make sure the legal factions
rely on the government's money. Therefore it is expected for
government representatives to work out a payment schedule with
the current leaders of the factions in question.
The faction may also investigate or sanction an individual in
charge of a government administered organization if he is found
either corrupt or in another way abusing or ignoring his
responsibility as an organization leader in character. Out of
character violations will be handled by the current head of
legal factions or a senior administrator appointed as part of
the legal faction management. Should GOV wish to remove or
sanction a legal faction leader they MUST consult the head of
legal factions prior to continuing in character. This is RARE.
In addition to funding, GOV must also manage taxes and is
encouraged to 'play around' with various tax percentages to
create interaction and force reactions from other players. GOV
is also allowed, under certain circumstances, to be
corrupt/biased towards themselves or their friends when it comes
to taxation. This means that they may not raise the tax on
rivals' or enemies' businesses, houses, vehicles etcetera but
they may lower the taxes for friends and associates.
The current taxation of properties must be published in a
document that all players have access to, for example a forum
thread in the public government section that lists current taxes
and fees on properties, cars and other possessions.
GOV may also create and alter currently existing penal codes
and/or amendments to the constitution. This includes legalising
or forbidding substances, firearms, vehicles as well as creating
or lifting areas with restricted access. They may also instate a
court system and sanction legal factions under their
administration should it become necessary; this includes cutting
pay or limiting the use of certain actions or vehicles by law
enforcement officers.
Should the government deem it suitable they may also set up an
external warrant request system that legal factions must go
through in order to receive permission to raid locations within
greater Los Santos (Red/Flint County). Warrants must however
still be approved by the head of legal factions if it involves
the search and closure of several properties for longer than 5
days. If the requester believes a warrant was denied without a
proper reason, he may appeal it to the head of legal factions or
another senior administrator appointed as part of the legal
faction management.
It is also encouraged that the government sets up a council
consisting of high-profile individuals on the server, who meets
once in a while to discuss the current state of the city and
its' administration as well as possible legal matters or new
laws that the government wants to instate.
As previously mentioned GOV may also shut down locales for
roleplay purposes, or to create a new public location or public
events, e.g. create public housing or a gymnasium.
GOV must however make sure creating a permanent public location
doesn't conflict with other players properties within the area;
e.g. GOV must not create public housing in a building that is
already owned by another player unless the player in question
agrees to it. This is due to the current economy on Italy Mafia
and not because we want to limit roleplay or the power of GOV.
San Andreas Police Department Power Distribution & Tasks
The San Andreas Police Department, SAPD, is a faction based upon
a local law enforcement agency but has been given jurisdiction
to operate all over the state of San Andreas; albeit the main
area of operation for SAPD is Greater Los Santos.
SAPD is tasked with regular law enforcement routines such as
speeding, reckless driving, robberies, violence and
investigation of murders or organizations.
The faction also have access to heavier equipment and a SWAT
division that is meant to tackle high-risk situations by
applying brute force or using one of the special vehicles at
its' disposal.
As an organization SAPD is required to handle regular police
tasks. It is not a para-military organization nor is it a
stabilization force. It's a police organization with regular
duties and responsibilities. Therefore it is expected to act
like that. It must focus on policing and roleplaying a police
organization. They're meant to set an example to other players.
Despite having access to heavy equipment and an armed helicopter
SAPD should not patrol with this equipment all the time nor
should they respond to regular traffic stops or low-risk scenes
with armored cars, SWAT personnel or attack helicopters. The
armed helicopter may however be used to stop fleeing vehicles if
that is the easiest way to do so.
Administration wise San Andreas Police Department is headed by a
Chief of Police and his/her Assistant/Deputy Chief. This is the
highest permitted rank of SAPD and can not be changed.
Any rank below assistant or deputy chief can freely be changed
by the faction leader, however it is expected to follow a
logical set of ranks and is expected to follow the structure of
its' counterpart Los Angeles Police Department. This includes
the use of badge numbers which must be used. A format as well as
a list is set up by the Head of Legal Factions.
SAPD is also permitted and expected to operate a detective unit
(name may be chosen by the chief) which is tasked with
investigating other factions or individual players with the goal
of inflicting long-term damage on the investigated faction or
person. This includes the ability to confiscate vehicles for up
to a month, raid properties with the goal of confiscating
illegal contraband (drugs/materials) as well as lock down
properties owned by the person(s) investigated.
All cases must however be presented to the head of legal
factions or a senior administrator appointed as part of the
legal faction management before the raid(s) may be initiated. If
an active government is elected and if the government has the
capability/position such as a district attorney they MUST also
read the case prior to it being initiated.
SAPD is required and ordered to follow the penal code and any
amendment that the government instates or lifts. Therefore it is
also being advised that the chief of police keeps in touch with
the government whenever a new law is being discussed.
[center]Faction wipes and character kills can only be permitted
by the server owner, faction leader or person being targeted for
a wipe/character kill.
Server Management must agree as well.

San Andreas Special Forces Power Distribution & Tasks
The San Andreas Special Forces, SASF, is a faction set up around
a military structure and military command.
Its' function on the server is to support and aid other law
enforcement authorities on the server and is therefore not under
the server's government control - it can however be requested to
stop certain actions or completely be asked to stand down by the
Mayor's Office of Greater Los Santos. This doesn't mean SASF is
required to abide by the mayor's request, but it is strongly
advised that they do.
SASF will not, as was the case previously, remove or overrule
other legal factions in any way. SASF is a military organization
deployed in the state as a peacekeeping and peacemaking force
and thus will utilize heavy vehicles to reach this goal. Any
issues with other legal factions will be discussed with the
government or the leadership of the legal faction that may cause
a problem.
Only the server owner or head of legal factions can permit SASF
to overrule a faction or the government, but this will rarely -
if ever - be the case as it has been tried several times with
only one successful attempt.
SASF must not patrol and enforce speeding, theft or other petty
felonies. It is only instructed to respond to emergencies or
high risk situations such as armed robberies, protests or to
perform stop and go checkpoints in an attempt to locate and
arrest wanted fugitives. It may also perform sting operations on
high risk suspects, however this will mostly be done upon
request from SWAT/SAPD.
