An important note: For the new capital offenses section, no police may convict by default an offender of this section without taking them to court. It is unlawful for you to put someone in jail for the two new capital offenses, Terrorism and Capital Murder, only a court may decide someone is guilty of this. This is detailed in the Sentencing Rules and Procedures.

This change is in effect as of now 11/22/2019 @2:20 AM EST.
