Private Pyle! Why are you butchering this corpse?!

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Add "Desecration of Corpses" into Marine Law

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Preserves RP, deals with an OOC issue in an IC manner via the MPs, and it literally prevents further salt in the wound Marines create when they go a step further and butcher corpses of people they've killed like the Iron Bears for little to no reason other than to generate salt. Combat logs are also able to be reduced therefore making staff investigations easier to conduct.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Simply put, make it an offense to Marine Law to desecrate a body which is punishable by a 45 minute (minimum) to permanent sentence (maximum). This excludes xeno corpses, which are free game, humans on the other hand, nope.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Simple changes to the Marine Law change on the wiki

But that would fall under destruction of government property silly.

Sorry but since when do the Marines follow the law? Geneva convention bullcrap flew out the window when 10mm explosive tipped bullets were introduced. Also if someone is going around cutting up bodies then it is a pretty shit thing to do and you'll likely get admin attention for doing it.

I dunno. I could say human bodies, but probably not alien monsters.

Father Apop, that's what I've been talking about this entire time. I'll fix it up.

[Enceri]

honestly sounds like a great idea. +1

[Snypehunter007]

Why not? Seems legitimate to me and I think it is a very valid thing, especially in regards to marine v. marine interactions.

No war crimes allowed when the law is there

[Tristan63]

does this include looting corpses?

does this include looting corpses?

... yes.

[Dirty Old Harry]

Looting could be argued over though, stripping a marine of ammo is fine and maybe so is taking his armour if you don't have any yourself.

Looting is okay, so long as you put the body in the morgue on a tray.

Quick question, is it considered desecrating the corpse if I'm arresting it?

No. Why are you arresting a corpse? What implications are you making here?

[Karmac]

In my perfect world, suicide is a 30 minute briggable offense, whether you're brought back to life or not.
