Penal Code Update - July 15

Post by LSPD Media Relations »

For the continued safety and improvement of the citizens of Los Santos. The state of San Andreas is introducing two new items to the penal code:

General Citation - 07 - Face Concealment
First introduction is in regards to people covering their faces within the state; after a exhaustive study, we came to the conclusion people don't need to hide their faces in public spaces of San Andreas. Due to the facts we mentioned before, we are adding a new citation and a new misdemeanor to our Penal Code.

General Citation - 07 - Face Concealment. - $500 Fine.
(a) No person or persons, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, shall:
(1) Enter upon, be, or appear upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road highway, or another public way in the State of San Andreas
(2) Enter upon, be, or appear upon or within the public property of the State of San Andreas; or
(3) Hold any manner of meeting or demonstration.

(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this section are only a general citation if not committed in relation to a crime, whereas then it shall apply to GM#20.

(c) The provisions of subsection (a) do not apply if the concealment is done during masquerades and other entertainment events that are deemed appropriate by the city (such as Halloween), or where there's reasonable cause e.g. motorcycle protection or medical reasons.

(d) Should person or persons continuously be stopped, or written up for a GC - 07 - Face Concealment, they will be liable for prosecution for failure to comply. This would also result in the GC - 07 escalating to a GM - 20.

General Misdemeanor - 20 - Face Concealment - 10 Days Jail (( 10 minutes ))
(a) No person or persons, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, shall:
(1) With the intent to intimidate, threaten, abuse, or harass any other person;
(2) With the intent to cause another person to fear for his or her personal safety, or, where it is probable that reasonable persons will be put in fear for their personal safety by the defendant’s actions, with reckless disregard for that probability; or
(3) While engaged in conduct prohibited by law, with the intent of avoiding identification.

(b) Any person or persons violating GC - 07 - Face Concealment while committing a crime, will be held to GM-20, the misdemeanor criminal charge of Face Concealment.
General Felony - 22 - Prison Break
Second introduction is a felony regarding the escape from penitentiaries or jails. Inmates trying to jail break can be charged from now with a general felony:

General Felony - 22 - Prison Break - 60 Months Jail (( 60 minutes ))
(a) Every individual arrested and booked for, charged with, or convicted of a misdemeanor or felony criminal charge who is confined in any county or city jail, prison, who attempts to break in or out, is guilty of GF - 22 - Prison Break.

(b) Every person or persons who attempt to or successfully breaks into any form of containment facilities, such as county jail, city jail or prison, is guilty of GF - 22 - Prison Break.

(c) If subsection (a)-(b) is committed with any type of force, the person or persons will be guilty of aggravated Prison Break, and any subsequent criminal charges.
