Request Reason:

I am reporting the mayor because I am unsure if he had permissions from a SA to be corrupt. If he did have the permissions, then the report relating to him can be ignored, though the arrest was still valid. I believe the staff on at the time was thegamingshain (@Thegamingshain ). He stabbed people, had a machette, fled, destroyed evidence etc.,

The police chief was saying to not book him when I was about to process him. He did this since he wanted to do a whole court RP session where the mayor added the law AFTER he helped release him. I chased after the mayor again and he fled in the fire chiefs truck, making the chief corrupt as well. He later said that he was in a sit and then when he saw me booking the mayor NOPE, ruining my entire RP Experience as I was about to book him and this led to alike a 2 hour long trial jsut so he could court rp.

You can see in the gov chat I stated multiple times the mayor was under arrest and the reasoning, the chief never questioned it until it came time to book him. He later stated he was in a sit, but you can hear his voice during the interrogation room setting

The fire chief fled with the suspect while he was under arrest instead of kicking him out of car.

I did witness this chief's corruption, the only reason I told austin not to book him was because the chief was saying do not book him, and I didn't want austin to get insta demoted because the chief was corrupt.

Chief was corrupt and that's that, he let the mayor go and gave the mayor a trial that he somehow won even though phase boots showed evidence of the mayor stabbing someone.

I took him because he had put out an ad saying he was kidnapped in interrogation so I thought he was false accused for something and the PD were trying to arrest him for no reason.

Overall I as mayor was confused during this situation because the chief said I was free to go but this was later resolved with a court case that I won.

Which is why I made the report. There’s nothing I can do to stop the RP since it was happening but since I believe there were rule breaks and ruined my RP, I made the report. Did you have approval to be corrupt?

That’s helping to flee a suspect. You saw
an officer cuff him and take him to PD. You were actually moving your fire truck in my way to make the escape easier.

It's more about the chief anyways, you didn't do anything wrong since you were complying and did admit to doing the stabbing and everything but the chief said to let you go for some reason

Everytime there is a mayor they find something to throw him in about even when he is innocent so when he said he was kidnapped and I saw him running outside of course I'm going to help him

The whole situation was resolved in rp anyways, one of the staff was the judge I just forgot who.

I was one of the Secret Service during the situations (Jeck Johnj,) and I would like to say I don't think it was his (@Gentoromus ) intention to release the mayor. He merely said, "don't book him," which doesn't necessarily without a doubt mean he is free of all charges and to let him go. Given the context, Robbie could have said "Don't book him" because he wanted to further interrogate the mayor himself (which he eventually did later on), or because of a situation involving a gunshot in the PD.

Following this, the other Secret Service (Not law enforcement) uncuffed the mayor, and you can hear Robbie say, "don't run" (6:20) in the video as the mayor began running out of the PD. From that point on, you could hear another situation going on involving law enforcement which Robbie may have needed to attend to (6:06 "Let's investigate that gunshot downstairs").

Also, during the court case Robbie was on the prosecution and clearly wanted to have the mayor arrested for his crimes, but the jury voted unanimously to acquit (The trial was also being judged and watched over by an admin @TheOfficialCarMechanic).

So though I'm not sure whether the chief was corrupt in any situation I was not apart of, but from my perspective and the evidence from the video it seems he wasn't being corrupt.

Wrong. The chief said to not book him with full intention of not charging him. The ONLY reason why that trial thjng ever happened was because I kept telling him he’s corrupt and stating why the mayor was under arrest. He never requested my footage for a long time and when he did, I provided it to him. It was ONLY then that the trial proceeded because the mayor literally stabbed a guy. Notice how after the Mayor fled from PD after being uncuffed, there was no warrant placed on mayor and a big delay in hkm calling for the mayor and the whole trial thing. The mayor fled in cuffs with the fire chief, which is evading and eluding. All the crimes are on video and the chief also stated that he got back from a sit and didn’t see what happened with the mayor so don’t charge him, using his AFK/sit status to ruin the RP for a BS court session.

this whole thing would not have happened had the chief let me book him. As you said, he said to don't book, he didn't say to uncuff and run, which was what happened. Even then, the chief failed to take any meaningful action until pressed numerous times, resulting in a trail that should not have occurred. He said don't run, which the mayor did.

The whole situation was resolved in rp anyways, one of the staff was the judge I just forgot who.

It was not resolved, the RP simply continued because that is how it goes. As staff has said numerous times, if you believe something is wrong you let the situation continue and then report it afterwards. Did you have corruption privileges?

Hello, after a thorough review of this report, I have came to the following conclusions:

Rule Number​	Rule​	Accused​	Verdict​
5.1.7​	Corruption is allowed with permission from a Senior Administrator or above. The permissions are automatically void when the authorizing staff member leaves the server.​	@Shawnn & @Bobby McJones​	Rule Violated​
5.1.2​	You may not partake in any illegal activity. Detectives are exempt from this rule.​	@Shawnn & @Bobby McJones​	Rule Violated​

​

Rule Number​	Rule​	Accused​	Verdict​
5.1.7​	Corruption is allowed with permission from a Senior Administrator or above. The permissions are automatically void when the authorizing staff member leaves the server.​	@Gentoromus​	Inconclusive​

​

@Shawnn clearly stabbed someone, failed to comply with law enforcements orders, and destroyed evidence. While I understand that some of this was handled in RP, corruption is still against the rules and will be punished accordingly.

@Bobby McJones was aiding and abetting the mayor during their escape, this is illegal, and partaking in any illegal activity while in any government position, is against the rules.

I can understand why it was assumed that @Gentoromus was being corrupt as police chief, but there is simply not enough evidence to reach that conclusion. As @Liga put out, the Chief never ordered for the mayor to be let go, but only to not book him. It is a reasonable assumption that given the profile of the suspect, Gentoromus may have wanted to further investigate the situation. In addition, while it is difficult to hear, the chief also does tell the mayor not to run. There is not enough evidence here to prove the chief was corrupt.

As a result of the rule breaks above, the following has occurred:

@Shawnn has received one warning point for Unauthorized Corruption

@Bobby McJones has received a verbal warning for Unauthorized Corruption.

If I've missed anything, or if you would like to discuss any part of this verdict, please let me know through private messages here or on discord.
