Better security records

[Falamazeer]

We've all been in a situation caused by the misuse or disuse of the security records system
Randomly beepskied, or arrested by a well meaning officer who has no idea why he shot you and dragged you to the brig, and can't find out either, nobody responds when he asks, and the mystery remains.

If you want people to use the security records system, then it needs streamlined, No more choosing and dividing crimes between major and minor, the UI is clunky, just have an add crime button, followed by a details section, then automatically sign the note by the officer who wrote it. This should be the norm for security records through sec-huds and through the computer

Then rework the cell timers to work more like a security records console, allow officers to select the security record of the crewmember, click a 'Sentence' button, select/add the crime, input the time, and it will automatically update the crewmembers status to incarcerated, then after the time has passed, would update them to paroled, then sechud wearers will know automatically they are dealing with a former convict.

The cell timer should still have buttons to close the door, flash the cell etc etc, so that the prisoner is secure during the paperwork, but setting a timer for automagic release should require the paperwork be filed.

Setting someone to wanted should require the same, when you change someones status to 'Wanted' It should popup with an option for either "Add Crime" or "Questioning" and their record should update accordingly, with a record of which officer changed the status.

As is, the records system will not be used by anyone until it is used by everyone, and if it's going to be used by everyone it needs to be simple-stupid-easy. If anyone has a better way to streamline these effects without sacrificing the utility those tips would be greatly appreciated.

This adds accountability for overly large sentencing, which will reduce shitcurity trends, and provides a better network of communication for officers, everybody wins.

You forgot the KoS button

As one of the few people who uses sec records (And tries to get other to use it when Warden or HoS) all of these are really good suggestions and I would love if they were added. Would probably want to work it into telegulag too since quite a few Wardens seem to only use the gulag.

The only issue I can see is that this may make speed wanting people to save yourself or others more difficult.

I remember suggesting having a streamlined list of crimes to pick from, like "assault" "murder" "theft" "trespass" "other" with a details field to fill.

Just put in an *EMERGENCY APB* button

Too lazy

Just streamline it by removing the stupid division between major/minor and crime/details.

Nobody writes large enough pieces of text to warrant separating the crime and details.

Drop down might work but only as an option, mandatory drop down menu of crimes will always be clunky for crimes that don't fit into a category.



Also, streamline the interface of the security consoles, having to physically insert your id is stupid when other consoles can just read the id from your id slot

> Force the paperwork and for officers/warden/detective to check & file the data correctly whilst the lawyer hunts down misconduct as IA = (10/10)

Excellent, however writing out the text for the paperwork does take a little bit of time, so how about a crime log? Queue em up for a offence as Lumbermancer describes, with the officer's name (names could be problematic, maybe new policy on having minimum length names?) for basic reference if no details logged.

Choose the most recent 3 crimes via sechuds, open them up to read the details.

Replace the note adding thing on HUD/s with a [-----------------------] symbol

Clicking it opens a selection menu of;
[SUSPECTED CRIMINAL] (blue s)
[CRIMINAL] (dark red w)
[CAPITAL CRIMINAL] (bright red flashing c]
[CLEAN RELEASE] (green r)
[WATCHED RELEASE] (yellow r)

after you select one it opens the following tabs ( ------- are one line text inputs //////////// are 8 line+ inputs [] is a tick box)

[] Trespassing
[] Murder
[] Assault
[] Theft
[] Contraband
[] Capital Crime
[] -Expanded Menu of all crimes- (select if you have time to tick specific crimes)

Crime Notes
------------------------------

[OK] [QUICKFILL] [CANCEL]


quickfill automatically selects capital crime and fills out the note bar saying; (it also pings the wardens console to get in contact with the arresting officer)
"This officer selected quickfill while in pursuit, the suspect was deemed to be in immediate contact with the officer"

After filling it out on the fly, when you shift click someone with huds on, it will show the officer who set them to what they were set to and the reason they were set to, if it was a quickfill it shows up as a red flashing bar

[FantasticFwoosh]

heh, a innapropriate quickfill (halp george melons griffin me!) would be a crime in itself but i can definitely see it being abused and waved off by certain shitcurity forces that can't handle or behold the power of appropriate paperwork.

We're getting closer.

Add a thing on the cell timer so you can say who's in there and what for, have it change their status automatically so we don't have shit like people coming out of the cells at the end of their timed sentence only to get immediately batoned and hauled back in by officer mcignoretheradio because nobody took them off Arrest
