Angryhamdog: Saving staff warrant policy

Saving staff warrant policy

New page

For the purpose of this document, any case of ‘Warrant’ should be interpreted as ‘Warrant or Court Order’. In any case in which a warrant is needed, players should '''screenshot the warrant'''. Most staff members are unable to access warrant links and as such the full warrant page should be submitted via screenshot.

== Scope and Purpose ==
Warrants must be specific. Anything that would need a time to look up should have a time. All relevant information you can offer the staff team to help is requested.

Things that will get you denied:

* “Seize/search everything [player] has”. We have no way of doing this.
* “Please seize everything this user has”
* Weeks worth of logs / Thousands of Logs (assuming it’s not extremely specific in scope)
* Anything without a clear purpose, intent or legitimate roleplay reason to know.

= Chat Logs =

== Direct Messages (Discord GC/DM, in-game DM) ==
Regarded as completely private. Users may share and consent for staff to retrieve the logs, but there is no staff remedy if no party is willing to consent.

Knowing of the existence (example, Angryhamdog shares an image of him and Technofied conspiring to overthrow the government) does not entitle individuals to gain access without consent.

Individuals can subpoena or request witness testimony in such cases. '''Intimidation for consent will not be tolerated.'''

== Semi-Private Messages (Local, Murmur, Ticket, Affiliated Server) ==
Regarded as semi-private. With actual proof (time, people involved, basic content, reasonable suspicion), warrants may be requested without consent. With consent, the staff team can verify messages.

Note that government ticket transcripts are mailed to the ticket opener as well as available via the ticketbot dashboard for a period of up to two bots.

Affiliated Servers are subject to warrant requests as a normal part of roleplay.

== General Chat Log Notes ==
Confirmation and warrants should not be used to ‘just confirm’. Courts should, similar to the Staff Policy on the Homeland Security Plugin, assume they are correct unless there is conflict.

If parties are contesting as to the validity of the logs, they can confirm (or get a warrant/court order to confirm), and the Staff Team will punish malicious individuals under our impersonation policy.

Staff Chatlog Decision Tree:
[[File:Staff Chat-logs Decision Tree.png|left|thumb|541x541px]]

= Chest and Inventory Search/Seizure =
Logs to search must be specific and targeted.

Specific items (or sets of items) can be requested to be tracked down via logs (or to find additional chests, if applicable).

Areas that may be searched (or seized):

* Specific properties, areas or chests
* Inventories, Ender Chests, Supporter Chests

Individuals may not request “all chests that a user has”. This is simply impractical for the staff team to fulfill.

All such searches require a warrant (and purpose in pursuing a criminal. The Staff Team will not be searching chests because a player misplaced an item).

= Miscellaneous =

=== Block Place and Edit Logs ===
DCT Inspectors may request the Staff Team to provide information on the last time blocks were placed on a plot for purposes of non-improvement eviction reports without a warrant.

Other block edit logs (e.g., last time a sign or lectern was updated) require a warrant.

=== Animal Murder Logs ===
Animal (and Villager) Murder logs may be requested without a warrant by a Sergeant or higher in the Department of Homeland Security.

=== Drop Logs ===
May be requested via a warrant with location, time, and item.

=== Financial Logs ===
Financial Logs (both personal and business) may be requested from the DOC with a warrant.
