WHEREAS Mount Augusta needs a sustainable and minimally infringing means of neutralising threatening positions, such as bunkers actively used by criminals, through executive order,

WHEREAS the current method for neutralising secured military positions involves seizure of property,

WHEREAS the seizure of property is a too draconian means to achieve neutralisation of threats,

WHEREAS accountability needs to be added to the neutralization of secured positions

The following is proposed:

That Legalization of Emergency Asset Seizure bill be repealed.

That the Mayor be granted the following power:

The Mayor may rule any secured position actively used by criminals to be neutralised.

a. Where reasonable suspicion exists of a secured position on a property being actively used by individuals reasonably suspected of having participated in criminal activity, any secured positions on said property may become target to neutralisation through executive order of the Mayor. The order must be publicised on /r/MtAugusta within 24 hours of being given.

b. A secured position is defined as a structure meeting any of the following criteria:

1. The structure Consists of any iron or diamond reinforced blocks, or stone reinforced obsidian.

2. The structure is at least partially covered by a bastion field.

3. The structure contains traps utilising any of the following: bastions, cobwebs, lava, water, dispensers, fall damage, cacti, TNT, pistons, doors, string, sand, gravel

c. A secured position may be neutralised in the following ways:

1. A pathway to the position using any reinforced or non-reinforced blocks may be constructed.

2. Blocks may be broken to provide safe access to restricted areas.

3. Bastions protecting the secured position may be broken.

4. Any traps at the secured position may be rendered defunct.

5. Any chests or other item containers on the property may be covered in reinforced blocks to deny access. No chests may be broken unless they represent a barrier preventing safe access.

6. Access routes to the secured position may be blocked with reinforced blocks.

c. Once an order to neutralise a secured position defined by a. is given by the Mayor, any actions within the bounds of this clause will not be subject to prosecution under 100 - Griefing or 600 - General Crimes, with the exception of the condition in d.

d. If the owner of the secured position and all of the reasonably suspected individuals using it are later found not guilty for crimes that would justify the neutralization of said position, the actions taken to neutralize the position may be subject to prosecution under 100 - Griefing and 600 - General Crimes.

TL;DR:

Property may not be seized by executive order.

Bunkers and other defensive/offensive positions actively used by criminals may be rendered defunct by executive order.

If the neutralisation of a position is justified, it may not be prosecuted as grief or general lawbreaking.

If the neutralisation of a position was unjustified, it may be prosecuted as grief or general lawbreaking.

Throw some feedback my way.
