The Punishments In Court Act
A
Bill
To
Allow the Court to Rule over DoJ crimes should the highest offence punishable by the DoJ be reached by the criminal, or the crime be so severe that the punishment is not enough.
The Parliament of Stratham enacts:
Section 1. Short Title
(1) This Act is the The Punishments In Court Act
Section 2. Commencement
(1) The provisions of this Act shall come into effect as soon as this bill passes.
(2) [More sections can be added with commencement like before.]
Section 3. Reasoning
(1) Throughout the DoJ there are many criminals who have hit the maximum number of times they might commit the same crime, and so they get the same punishment on repeat once the 2/3rd offence has been reached. In most cases, this is not acting as a deterrent to the criminal to reform them from committing crimes again. This act therefore allows the court powers to sentence criminals to longer sentences or heftier fines for the crimes they commit once the maximum offence number (2 or 3) has been reached under the DoJ’s current punishment system.
Section 4. The Punishments in Court Act.
(1) The Legal Prosecutor and/or the DoJ minister shall have the power to create a court case in regards to criminals who max out the punishments listed for a crime i.e. 2nd or 3rd offence punishments. The two above mentioned people may also bring someone to court for a higher punishment if the crime is severe. For example, a citizen without a schedule 0 card has 30 double chests full of drugs. This applies to any offence!
(a) If a criminal commits murders more than twice, they have reached the maximum punishment for that crime. The DoJ minister/Legal Prosecutor may not go to the court and request a longer sentence awarded by the court.
(2) The court may award a fine, jail time, or both depending on what they feel necessary. Fines awardable for crimes committed shall be capped at 15,000kr. Jail time shall be capped at 3 hours. However if deemed necessary by the court, the judges, by majority vote of 2 out of 3 judges, may agree on a punishment above the capped limits mentioned should it be needed.

- The Punishments awardable are capped to prevent judges from simply charging what they like, this may reduce the chances of bias in cases, for example, the judge ruling over the case being one of those that the criminal murdered.
Section 5. Abuse of Punishments
- If the Minister or the Legal Prosecutor abuse the power given to them in this act they may be prosecuted themselves in a court of law and fined up to 20,000kr for the abuse.
- If a Judge, or the Judges, abuse the punishments awardable in this act when in court, they may be fined, or banned from dealing over future cases created by the DoJ Minister or Legal Prosecutor for higher punishments.
