The following rewrite is the work of Bretgov, I'm just posting here to have a place to edit in a few changes and try to create an "infocard" version.


Proposed changes to Bretgov's may 2020 rewrite of laws (obsolete):

- remove the numbers in contraband tables
- fixed broken "/font" entry in table (spotted by Decktare)
- no need to repeat "full cargo" in every table line
- replace "Xm per 1,000 units." with "X000 per unit"
- fixed broken table ending before section 3
- the "float" around tables caused weird formatting breaks so I removed it (not sure why it was there at all)

Questions:

- "Law enforcement agencies so empowered by the Bretonian Government to make such decisions" not clear who that includes
- specifying that IFF is what makes you hostile will probably cause problems with people using IDs and gear of hostile factions accusing others of meta-gaming or unlawful arrest


Proposed changes to Bretgov's 05.06.2020 rewrite of laws (obsolete):

- "Pilots" should be changed to "pilots" in 4.1 kidnapping
- Look like someone forgot to remove 4.3 form section 3, because it's basically law 4.2. Removed it.
- removed N/A in tables because it just adds useless clutter
- made the "licensed and authorized research vessels" shorter like "licensed vessels"
- removed the part about "transporting to research facility"

Questions (not amended in the text yet):
- Is "Empress of the Taus" still a thing? Which Tau system(s) does still claim?
- I looked in 2 online dictionaries and google translate, and none knew "donfiscation" as a word. I'm guessing it means to donate the confiscated stuff to someone but would be better to keep the stuff easily understandable
- there should be a sentence about how to get a license for things like restricted cargo
