I have a question that perhaps someone in the City's police department can assist me with.

I've been going through records and while I've found a number of attempted statutes and by-laws, and even records of a now-defunct courthouse system ruled over by the deities, I'm having trouble finding laws, and how the police department has any power whatsoever.

So If someone could enlighten me, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I have trouble with the general acceptance of a police-administered investigation, trial, and justice system.

And yes Ms. Lynde, this does pertain to you, so try to keep up during the conversation this time, will you?

If no one can provide me with satisfactory answers, I fully intend on having access to my employee back.

You said you'd found some things, though, yeah? Attempted laws and all that?

I'm sure they're quite busy, and wouldn't it be better to contact them directly?

Old things, yes. I could send you those.

It might. But that's not quite as much a matter of public record.

Might be nice. Maybe we can, I don't know. Do something about it? Place is a bit chaos. I mean, anything's better than the deities telling us how to take care of ourselves, I suppose.

Is your employee a public problem?

I doubt it.

...Pardon?

I doubt that my employee is a public problem.

Seemed like what you were getting at, though. All this.

My point is the people who are supposed to be part of a justice system are making rules, enforcing them, and they are not accountable to the people.

Kind of a vague point, innit?

Perhaps the words we live in a police state are clearer to you.

So just-- make up some laws and we'll have a vote, then, yeah? Don't really see how anything else is gonna help.

And create a separate body to carry out trials and sentencing.

See? Could vote on all that too, yeah?

That would be ideal.

I bet she'd help you, the Chief. She's real good, she helped me with a curse problem once.

I'll make sure to pass along the words of support.

That's all right, I can say so myself. So, those files, then...?

I'll compile them and send them to you.

[ooc: Some of them are in journals from dropped characters whose posts are locked, but I'm getting access ASAP, and I'll make sure to send them to you when I got it]

Cheers! Hope your friend gets out soon.

[ ooc: cool, thanks! ]
