Message reads:

Mr. McRemits,

Lets see if we can clear up these final points.

In that case, I am very close to being in a firm position to ratify your laws. There are only a few things that need to be addressed from my point of view.
Not all wanted criminals are bountied in such a specific manner. Due to the potential expense, the forces of Liberty do not have policies in place to bounty large volumes of wanted criminals individually. We do however keep records of criminals and their past activities. I'd ask that when such evidence is present, our forces would be able to forcefully arrest such a loiterer within the zone, with the production of that proof to the Council of Zoners on request.

Maybe bountied was the wrong term. If the person was specifically wanted by the Liberty government, and not just wanted because they were part of a certain organization, it would be valid to enter the NFZ to apprehend them. Correct those records of past activities would be the proof we are looking for in this situation.

For loiterers that havent committed any crimes within Liberty, I expect that our forces would rarely have to ask for them to 'move on', so to speak. The only instance that we'd expect loiterers to move on would be if there were multiple vessels gathering for what an officer may reasonably assume to be a raid, and of course we would gather pictoral proof of this and submit it to you. In such a case, our forces wouldn't engage the party as it gathered, but once they exitted the no-fire-zone.

That of course is perfectly acceptable. What goes on outside the NFZ is not really our concern. Any evidence of a gathering would be welcome so we can deal with the offenders.

According to the officer on duty at the time, the vessel entered on one side and exitted on the other. My question here is that, as the demand for the contraband to be dropped was made outside of the no-fire-zone, under this agreement, would it be permissible for the engagement to continue into the zone and then back out again? I feel that it should be, but I'm not sure from your response so I'd like some clarification.

In that case the "engagement" started before entering the NFZ, he had proof of the pursuit outside of the NFZ and if he had a chance to engage the person inside the NFZ that would have been legal. As for it traveling outside of the NFZ, thats fine also.


Sincerely
Samuel Nichols
CEO-OSI
Council of Zoners representative
