Government:

Spoiler

1. Law Enforcement are not allowed to own drugs.
2. Law Enforcement have to enforce the law and use the police department as their base. They cannot make their own bases. The FBI are an exception (see Rule further down).
3. Law Enforcement can arrest anyone for having drugs or selling drugs. This is always a law (even with no Mayor).
4. Law Enforcement may not arrest anyone for guns, unless there is a law saying they are illegal.
5. Law Enforcement can shoot anyone for murder unless the suspect is acting in self-defense. This does not mean you cannot arrest them for illegal weaponry or any other laws they may have broken.
6. Law Enforcement always have to try to arrest first unless the individual poses an IMMEDIATE threat to either themselves or another player.
7. Law Enforcement may enforce basic traffic laws even if it's not a law on the law board. (Try not to be too stingy with it)

9. Weapon checking players randomly is not allowed. You may check players if you are Secret Service and they are near the Mayor or if it makes sense in the context of role-play.
10. Secret Service may not enforce laws unless they are laws that are putting the Mayor's life in danger or they are told to do so by the mayor. (EX: Someone has a gun out near the Mayor and guns are illegal)
11. Arresting for no reason is not allowed (RDA). There is also no arresting during purge time, it still counts as RDA!!!
12. Warranting to check a house without any proof of contraband is not allowed (unless you have probably cause). This also applies for weapon checking. If your life is threatened or someone has told you of another player's possession of contraband, you may weapon check them.
13. Government personnel may not party/base with non-Government personnel.

15. Cops may not excessively break down props when warranting. Only break the props needed to get through or get to certain areas/items. They may still attempt to break walls to make entry easier.
16. If a person is resisting arrest, you are allowed to use lethal force after giving them a warning.
17. All jobs must follow the orders of their superiors (unless they conflict with the rules/laws).
18. FBI may set-up checkpoints on roads and tunnels with a valid RP reason.
19. The FBI Leader may buy a second location for the FBI to base. They must add all FBI to the door and give out any keypad codes to other FBI as well. They do not need to allow any other cops in but the Mayor must be allowed to enter if he wishes. They may remain in this base during the Purge, as long as they do not Purge.
20. All Government personnel are not allowed to raid, mug, kidnap, carjack, or preform any other server feature that goes against RP.
21. During a lock-down you may only arrest someone while they are on the streets. Do not arrest players who are in un-owned buildings or in the PD. Do not chase someone who was on the streets into a building and then arrest them inside.
22. All CP (Civil Protection) are automatically excluded from any laws that prevent them from enforcing the rest of the laws. (Ex: No guns in public.)
23. Government personnel are allowed to participate in the purge, with the sole exception of the Mayor and Secret Service. They MUST remain in PD or Spawn.
24. Government personnel may NOT be corrupt!!! This counts as FailRP!
