Preamble

This penal code sets out the offences recognised in the state of San Andreas and the penalty ranges that go with them. It exists so that officers, attorneys, judges and civilians all work from the same rules.

Purpose

• Give every person a clear, public list of what is illegal.
• Give officers a fair, consistent basis for arrests and citations.
• Give courts a shared range of penalties to apply.

Scope

The code applies to every character within the state of San Andreas. It does not replace the server rules: out-of-character conduct is handled by staff, not by the police.

Authority

Charges in this code may be filed by sworn law enforcement officers and by the district attorney. Anyone may report a suspected crime.

Changes

The code is updated by server leadership. Each page shows the date it was last changed.
