MP roleplay suggestion/ideas to make MP more roleplayish

[Royal Griffon]

So I was playing CMP and then I remembered from a class lecture on laws that I took on Miranda Rights, and how people need to have their rights spoken to them in order to be successfully arrested or arrested fairly as they would say.
So while arresting a marine for something I began to say things similar to what cops say in Miranda Rights
You have the right to remain silent
You have the right call the CO and or your SO to stand up for you
You have the right to an appeal
You have the right to freely ask for food and water, however you must lay on the bed to do so
You are not allowed to be randomly beaten or abused via flashing for no reason
We have the right to search you and your quarters if you have them in order to search for evidence
The WO has the right to deny your appeal

And things like that and thought I'd throw it out there as an idea maybe?
I don't know I just thought it'd make a funny little optional thing that would make some MPs enjoy their times more

[KingPhilipIII]

Don't play MP.

Reducing systematic and wordless arrests does wonders for my willingness to comply with the MPs.

You have the right to remain silent

Don't have this right.

You have the right call the CO and or your SO to stand up for you

Don't have this right.

You have the right to an appeal

Yep

You have the right to freely ask for food and water, however you must lay on the bed to do so

Don't have this right.

You are not allowed to be randomly beaten or abused via flashing for no reason

This is an OOC rule break not a right.

We have the right to search you and your quarters if you have them in order to search for evidence

This is actually part of detainment procedures to search their equipment. Also part of investigation procedure deals with gaining access to areas to search them.

The WO has the right to deny your appeal

Yup.

Well you dont have a right to remain silent, but you cant be charged with "Being silent" You wont be beaten for being silent.

[Loco52]

You can't have fun as MP, you'll break any rule.

[Hastati]

Nitpick sidenote. Police don't need to read you the Miranda warning to "arrest you properly". Miranda rights only apply to self incrimination i.e. a police interrogation. And only apply when you are in police custody at that.

[Royal Griffon]

It's still fun to read them some rights to me, kind of makes me feel like I'm not just stunbatoning and flashing and putting in a cell sometimes, whilst also ignoring their, "I'm innocent even though you caught me doing it," claims

[Hoodedhero]

The Nz one is
You have been arrested/detained for (give reason) [OR]
I am speaking to you about (give reason)
You have the right to remain silent.
You do not have to make any statement.
Maybe make it so you need to tell them the crime they have committed if possible?

[Szunti]

Imo MP is a totally inflexible role. I don't play it because of fear to be jobbaned immediately. I don't even know what is the goal for an MP. I'd think they supposed to keep the hierarchical structure together and force marines to be effective plus work as the hands of the commanding officers. But the wiki doesn't even try to define a goal. Just like the laws don't ever talk about the intention of the rules unlike real life laws. Nothing left to interpretation. No power, because you don't have choices, you have to follow the strict rules. You can't make up new types of punishments, e.g. cleaning the prep room. Basicly all fun is removed.

There's really no Miranda rights in the UCMJ:

Article 31, UCMJ Rights. Article 31 has two important parts:

No one subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice may compel any person to incriminate himself or to answer any question the answer that may tend to incriminate him.
No person subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice may interrogate, or request any statement from a person suspected of an offense without first informing him of the nature of the accusation, that he does not have to made a statement regarding the offense, and that any statement may be used against him as evidence in a trial by court-martial.
Right To Counsel. An independent military defense counsel is provided free of charge regardless of the accused's ability to pay. The accused may also employ civilian counsel at his or her own expense, or request a particular military counsel, who will assist the accused if reasonably available. The accused has the right to be represented by counsel at the magistrate hearing when a determination is made regarding continued pretrial confinement, at the Article 32 investigation, and during all court-martial sessions. After trial, the accused has a right to free military counsel to assist with his appeal through the military appellate courts, and potentially to the U.S. Supreme Court.


The best way to RP MP in my opinion is make a RP theme, and just talk to people. I turned one of my characters into a Chicano and use spanglish with people. It's like playing CL, just say hello to people and let the random encounters go.

[Crab_Spider]

How about no?

[NethIafins]

Right, I was thinking more of ticket system, so you get penalized or paycheck cut after you done your critial part in the mission

Unfortunately as MP you have to enforce law to the letter

[Meatshield]

I would play an MP and quite happily hand out little sachets of salt to the chads in the req line.

[ThePiachu]

I mean, you can make bottles of tablesalt in chem, so why not?
