[Proposal] trucking for immigrants only

[Marcell]

The economy is getting somewhat unbalanced when regular citizens drain all supply of our city's money, taking away possible income from police officers and new arrivals in the city. That being said, I propose a /whenmade command that would show a citizen's passport obtaining date (registration), cops could check it during a regular traffic pull and if the trucker is found out to be trucking illegally (by being a citizen who's in town for longer than 2-3 months) he can be suspected for a crime. Contrary to a popular belief it doesn't cause as much chaos as it seems.

Signed,
VCPD Cadet Joseph Becker

I like it, as we've seen today's RPs it doesn't hurt.

/whenmade is an admin command :X

It does actually. To me it's annoying having cops chasing my ass just because I want to do a little trucking. If that's the case, trucking would be left abandoned just because "trucking is illegal". I'm against this.

Add a MDC system, you know what cops do.. In a traffic stop for example. Or, If you're a citizen and want to know when a certain player joined, /whenmade is fine, but atleast give him the option to accept/reject.

Nah, if someone wants to do trucking, let him.

This proposal is troubling in legal terms, for a couple of reasons.

For one, there is no existing law or regulation that would make this viable to enforce, and so a proposal like this would be better suited for a proposal for a new rule instead, rather than asking the Court to legislate from the bench.

For another, this would place undue economic burden on long-term residents. There is a case to be made for requiring immigrants to live in the state for a certain amount of time before being allowed to take on certain positions (i.e. in order to make sure they're familiar with any relevant laws and are sufficiently trained on how the State operates). The same logic does not apply in the opposite direction, however.

Adopting this proposal as judicially-enforced law would reduce the incentive for players to take on trucking positions, knowing that they would eventually be legally obligated to quit. This would also virtually eliminate the idea of "skilled" truckers who are intimately familiar with the nuances of the job, and could further adversely affect the economy of the State.

The Court hereby dismisses this petition.
