Citizen Behavior Act of 4001

Citizen Behavior Act of 4001 – Because the Union is so large and offers endless opportunities for someone to escape justice after committing a crime, this Act was voted into law.

Since Union Courts offer fair trials with poly analyzers, forensic evidence etc., a Citizen accused of a crime is expected to turn itself in to a Court Clerk.

A Citizen for which a Federal Bench Warrant is issued is expected to approach Police or a Federal Court Clerk. So the case can be worked on and put before a Union Court.

Even if the Citizen is guilty, it is expected that the citizen reports to a Court Clerk. (A citizen surrendering on its own, no matter the crime will not face the death penalty)

The same act allows courts to prosecute and convict in absence. If a citizen has received three summons and has not responded, it is considered out of Union jurisdiction, to be ignoring the Summons on purpose or dead. The case will be brought to court. An Avatar approximation is created and a verdict is found. If the Verdict is guilty and the sentence is death, the individual is placed on the Union Wide Wanted List. The law considers the person legally dead. There are between 1 and 1.5 million Living Dead Union wide at any time.

Anyone can adjust reality to legal status, meaning anyone can complete this sentence. Any confirmed kill of that list carries a Federal Bounty of 615,466 credits (the average cost of a Federal Execution).

Since there are often private bounties as well, killing these Living Dead can be a lucrative business. There are several agencies who track these Living Dead and execute the sentence.
