Fine: A payment of money from the criminal. The fine will be split proportionally. This means that if the crime was committed against one person then the town itself would get half of the fine and the victim would get the other half. If there are two victims then it will be split 1/3 to each, and so forth.
Banishment: Someone may be banned from the town for one day by a guard. The Captain of the Guard (or acting Captain) may push this to one week if the High Judge cannot hold trial at that time.
Removal of Citizenship: If a criminal is currently a citizen and they refuse to pay their fine or accept their ban then they may lose status as a citizen and any benefits that may come from that.
Kill order: In serious cases the judge may issue a kill order for the most heartless offenders who commit murder and other serious crimes. A kill order means that any action may be taken against this individual by others (including theft, murder) and no one will be prosecuted for those actions as they are being done against an unrepentant criminal of the worst kind.
I. Minor Crimes
A. Thievery
Anyone who takes property against the will and/or knowledge of the owner is committing thievery. If convicted the criminal must give back the items (or something of equal value) to the original owner plus an added fine to be paid to the town treasury or also to the original owner.
B. Break in/Trespassing (Private building)
Whoever breaks into a house of an individual against the will or knowledge of the owner, or refuses to leave when asked to is engaging in trespass. At which time said owner may act as they see fit.
C. Disturbance
Anyone who interrupts the peace of the town with hostile, destructive, or disturbing acts should cease immediately upon request. If they continue despite warning from a proper authority then they are subject to a criminal charge.
D. Assault
Assault occurs when one person attacks another with their own body, with metal weapons, or with objects, but does not actually kill the person (murder). Voluntary violence between two individuals (dueling) is permitted outside the town walls.
E. Defamation
Everyone who purposely designs and spreads false claims to harm someone else or to benefit themselves commits a crime in terms of the law. The crime is especially grave if it involves unfounded accusations against the guard.
F. Conspiracy to commit a Crime
Should a person be caught in the act of planning, attempting or inciting others to break the laws and regulations alone or in a group, he or she is subject to the exact same punishment as he would get for doing the crime.
II Medium Offences
A. Claiming false status to Authorities
Claiming to be an official or guard for some kind of benefit when one actually is not is a crime under the law and will be dealt with accordingly.
B. Obstruction of Justice
Anyone perverting or distorting the course of justice, interfering with law-enforcement or preventing the law enforcement from fulfilling their tasks commits a crime under the law.
C. Resisting Arrest
Resisting arrest through physical or verbal means is a crime under the law. Trying to prevent the arrest of someone, or sheltering him/her else by the same means is an equal crime under the law.
D. Disobedience
Everyone who refuses to follow official orders of the Town Guard or the Government, especially refuses imprisonments, bans or other official punishments commits crime in terms of the Law.
E. Robbery
In cases of thievery where the victim is threatened to be harmed by violence the crime has to be raised in seriousness to Robbery. When violence is actually used and not just threatened the crime has to considered as assault or attempted murder along with robbery.
F. Threat and duress
Threatening a citizen or a resident with violence, or trying to force them into doing something against his will is crime against the law.
G. Kidnapping
Capturing or holding someone against his or her will is a crime against the laws. Included in this are acts of coercion where one purposely draws an individual to a specific location for nefarious purposes.

III. Serious Crimes
A. Spying
Spying for the benefit of other town or organization is a crime under the law. The magnitude of punishment depends on the graveness of the leaks, to which organization/town the spying has been conducted for and the duration of the spying. Always treat the case as category III.III crime until proven otherwise.
B. Murder
When a person is irreversibly killed by someone else, and it cannot be determined that this was in self-defence, it is seen as Murder in front of the law. ((OOC: Only Perma-deaths can be murder))
Anyone accused of Murder who doesn’t turn him/herself in immediately becomes an outlaw.
C. Arson and Damaging of property
Anyone who through fire or any other means, intentionally damages the property of the town, an individual, or a group commits a crime under the law. One who causes unintentional fire damage should seek to pay the owner for repairs.
