LPI and their RP

[Zapp]

On the topic of slaves... moving from forced labour to the transfer of said forced labour would be a very small step.

A very small step that would never be taken for reasons stated above. No way in hell Sugarland could support letting go of so many inmates. It's more profitable to keep them and turn a buck. And let's be real. If anyone found out that the LPI was shipping slaves off, especially the Liberty government, it would be over. All contracts canceled. The Navy would pull trump-cards on the LPI and shut 'em down. It's an atrocity that simply isn't justified in any way in my mind.

On the topic of RP:

Liberty Police Incorporated.

Why are they not Liberty Police?
The answer, which I'm sure you know, will tell you everything you need to know about the LPI, corruption, and this, that, and the other thing.

I know the faction name. I know that we are unique as the only privatized police force in Sirius. And I know that as such, there is a measure of corruption. But here's a fallacy: corruption is a result of corporation. EEEEH. Not true. I'll pretty much second what was said above:

Nobody is trying to say that the LPI is an organization that is lawful good or interested in justice. What I see the leadership as saying is this- We are the law in Liberty, and if we aren't going to be pure we are at least going to be professional. Bribery and personal corruption is unprofessional- its something that the public is going to see and it will hurt the reputation of the LPI and, incidentally, hurt our stock prices.

I really don't see what else I can say. It's so glaringly obvious to me that the LPI would try to stamp out corruption where it can. It's good business sense. Keep the cogs of the machine turning is the priority, not pulling them apart and selling them all for a few credits.



EDIT: Maybe all these problems would be fixed if the LPI wasn't privatized, and was instead re-nationalized. Think that would be too much change for you all?:P
