Active Warrants
Warrants identify wanted characters and remain part of the Justice record until cancelled, served, or otherwise resolved through authorized roleplay.
Trenchport Laws & Justice
A streamlined criminal code built for Trenchport roleplay. Standard fines use Trenchport credits and are balanced around the sim economy rather than real-world Alabama dollar penalties.
Trenchport Criminal Code
Roleplay law only. This page is an Alabama-inspired in-world criminal code for Trenchport. It is not real legal advice and the credit fines below are intentionally balanced for the Trenchport economy.
These are the standard charges most likely to matter in normal city, police, gang, court, and corrections roleplay. Obscure real-world statutes are intentionally left out so the lawbook stays usable during scenes.
Fine scale: everyday violations should sting, felony convictions should matter, and major violent or organized-crime cases should create serious financial consequences. Charges may stack when they represent separate criminal acts.
150–500Minor / nuisance
750–2,500Serious misdemeanor
3,000–10,000Felony range
12,500–25,000Major crimes
Cannabis Is Legal in Trenchport
Possession, personal use, ordinary cannabis accessories, and lawful cannabis sales are not criminal offenses in Trenchport. The illegal-drug charges below apply only to controlled substances that are illegal in the sim. Driving while impaired can still be charged as DUI when supported by the roleplay.

Charging & Fine Rules
Standard fine: The listed amount is the normal Trenchport fine for one conviction of that charge.
Separate crimes may stack: A character who flees, crashes, assaults someone, and possesses illegal drugs may receive separate charges for each distinct act.
No duplicate padding: Do not stack multiple versions of the same offense for the exact same act solely to inflate the bill.
Restitution is separate: Courts may order repayment for stolen property, medical costs, or property damage in addition to the criminal fine.
Attempts: When no dedicated attempted offense is listed, staff may use up to 75% of the completed-offense fine when the roleplay clearly supports a criminal attempt.
Accomplices: A character who knowingly and actively participates may be charged with the underlying offense when the scene supports it.
Judicial discretion: Judges may modify fines for plea agreements, extraordinary circumstances, repeat conduct, or major restitution issues when justified through roleplay.
How the Justice System Uses These Charges
Authorized staff enter charges, sentences, bail, fines, service requirements, notes, and release information into permanent Justice cases. The criminal code above provides the standard fine schedule; custody time, bail, bond terms, community service, and release conditions are handled separately through the Justice system.
Permanent Case Records
Booking creates a permanent Justice case tied to the character's Second Life UUID. A case may store the visible Apex case number, charges, sentence, custody time, bail, fines, bond activity, community service, officers, notes, and final release classification.
- Correcting a visible case number does not replace the permanent internal Case ID.
- Previous case numbers remain searchable.
- Authorized changes may be recorded in the Justice audit history.
Warrants, Booking, and Custody
Booking
Authorized officers create cases, record charges, set sentence information, and document the arrest or custody scene.
Custody Time
Sentences are measured from the original booking time. Reaching the sentence end may move the case to an awaiting-release state.
Final Release
An authorized officer or corrections staff member processes the final release when required.
Bail, Bonds, Fines & Service
Cash Bail
Eligible players may pay their saved cash-bail balance. Payment moves the case toward release but does not automatically complete the officer release process.
Bail Bonds
Eligible cases may request a bondsman. The process can include a request, claim, posted bond, bond fee, and remaining fee balance.
Fines
Fines are separate from bail and bond fees. Paying a fine does not automatically shorten a sentence or release the player.
Community Service
Approved service is completed at in-world nodes and updates the permanent case record separately from jail time and financial obligations.
