I Sponsor the Blakewell Act. I wish I could sponsor twice

We could add another clause that would add a minimum ten year sentence if one is convicted of participating in a criminal enterprise

Thxs for the Sponsorship

I thought about that but I want the Prosecutors to be able to cut deals with the low levels so they will testify against the big fishes.

[Rumostan]

I just want to point out that the Mafia only did things for four days and seem to have stopped their activities.

Why set punishments when the Judicial Act sets...

1a. A contravention is defined as the least severe form of a crime, which is crime that lacks the severity to trialed against a panel of judges in it's court of first instance. Examples include driving offenses and public disorder. A perpetrator of a contravention may not receive a prison sentence. A maximum fine of £3,000 may be given; it is a maximum fine of £45,000 against corporations.
1b. A delict is defined as a crime that is severe enough to have it's case be trialed before a panel of judges, but not severe enough to warrant the same or similar punishment as a felony. Examples include aggravated assault and battery or wilful neglect of a child. A perpetrator of a delict may receive a prison sentence at or under 10 years and my be fined up to £15,000; it is a maximum fine of £1,000,000 against corporations.
1c. A felony is defined as the most serious kind of crime that could of resulted or has caused the death of an individual or a group, or has otherwise caused severe psychological or physical damage. Examples include murder, rape or arson. A felony shall be trialed before a panel of judges and shall be subject to the most severe forms of punishment. A perpetrator of a felony is mandated to receive a prison sentence at or over 10 years (depending on the crime, the minimum could be more) and may be up to £1,000,000; it is a maximum fine of £10,000,000 against corporations.

So you want to wait till they rear their heads up again? They are laying low until the pressure is off them.

[Potenco]

I think we should look more into giving the police extra powers in fighting the mafia, as far as addenda to the Blakewell Act.

I'm just saying that by the time this gets to the senate chamber, it might be too late. Also, doesn't the Judicial Act cover these things?

Organized crime wasnt considered when the Judicial Act was written. The justice System needs updating

I felt as though the Judicial Act was not targeted enough especially against organized crime.

OK, but I still think you should use the types of crimes defined by the Judicial Act instead of creating the sentences in your act. It just seems... odd.

Honestly, has the Judicial Act worked against organized crime as it is now? No, we need to do as much as we can to stop these people as we can.

The Judicial Act doesn't give the power for temporary freezing of assets that the courts need. Criminal Enterprises use Shell Corporations to hide and move their crime tainted money.

Example:

. (A) Any person part of a Criminal Enterprise who has committed any two of the crimes in (§ II -2- A) within a eleven year period may be charged with racketeering. Any person(s) found guilty of Racketeering may face up to twenty five years in prison, fined up to 250,000 NSD and will forfeit all ill-gotten gains. (B) Those found guilty of Racketeering may be subject to civil suits by those who have been harmed by the convicted.

If you want to stop the Mafia Support the Blakewell Act, it gives the police the power to take down entire criminal enterprises in case. It is modeled from the the USA's RICO Act.
