The NationStates server was subjected to a data breach. TNP Forums do NOT interact with the NS servers and remain secure. If you use the same password between the two sites, it is recommended you change your password.
Even if it were the policy of this office to respond to complaints in whatever order it desires, the criminal system is not built for quick judgments. It is built to find the truth. This office will investigate this complaint, and file charges as appropriate. Any evidence you, or any other...
If we want to talk ancient history, let's talk about TNP's complete failure to abide by promises to investigate its illegal espionage against The Pacific in 2007. Let's talk about 2 months of promises for a statement and an apology, which never happened. Let's talk about years of documented...
The Prosecution will now present its case. For the sake of clarity, we will address each charge in turn.
Espionage
A conviction for espionage requires that a person use their TNP nation or persona to gather information for a non-government-sanctioned entity or group (1.2.6), and that that...
<NPO Hat, for the duration of this thread>
One of many factors considered in appointing Milograd to his present position was the impact this internal decision would have on our neighboring Pacifics. Given the rather vitriolic nature of The South Pacific's behavior of late, we expected nothing...
<NPO Hat> Nice to see that reconciliation and tolerance are completely out of the question, at least from this TSP citizen, and that the vitriol continues to flow freely.
This is the exact reason. The only circumstance permitted by law in which evidence may remain secret, is if it is classified as a state secret, and even then the law is not explicit on what should be done.
I'm fine with the evidence as submitted - I spoke with Abbey yesterday and she's planning to formally close discovery soon, as I understand it.
Regarding moving forward, I must request a recess in this trial, unfortunately. The Administration team has seen fit to enforce an administration...
I will be asking the court to suspend the one outstanding trial, and will not be submitting additional charges to the court until an issue with the moderation team is sorted out. Our Bill of Rights requires public trials and protects individuals against the right to incriminate themselves while...
If you have an actual question about this investigation, I will be glad to answer it. I have neither the time nor an inclination to engage in a debate with you. Legally speaking, whether a comment was made offhand or not is wholly irrelevant - what matters is if it is true. I hope to...
Edit: To be clear, this is in response to madjack's comments.
I go where the evidence leads me. In this case, Unibot's successor plainly states that the UDL conducts acts such as "stealing NPA info." An investigation into such matters focuses on individuals with ties to the UDL only to the...
The Office of the Attorney General hereby announces the commencement of a new investigation. Pursuant to information provided by the Executive branch, this Office will immediately begin investigating allegations that Solm approached Blue Wolf to offer support and enticement in an attempt to...
No, actually. We saw this in TNP v. JAL 2. The law doesn't punish someone for an action they took unless they were legally bound by our laws at the time of the action. Fundamental jurisdictional issue.
Edit: As for diplomatic immunity, we don't actually have such a concept here, at least not...
To be blunt, Jamie doesn't have the authority to unilaterally declare an individual unwelcome in this region, unless he does so in the context of exercising an emergency ban ingame for security reasons, which of course must promptly be followed by submitting releavant filings as a result. As a...
My office will examine this matter, as required by law, but I have to say that even a casual glance at the statute in question presents the issue that the Treason law is specifically confined to actinos taken against TNP - I don't see how expressing an opinion about another region's goings-on...
Even if the oath were clarified, there's actually a very clear legal standard for responsibility, through reasonableness doctrine. It wouldn't present a problem. As an example, if I as AG chose to question and challenge every single government action, just because I could, that would be...
No major legal issues, though given the reworked wording, I suspect we'll want to ask all RA members to re-swear under a new oath. Perhaps some provision regarding timeframe for that might be necessary/appropriate?
I wanted to take a minute to update the people of The North Pacific regarding the investigation into the Ravania incident. As many of you know, Ravania's trial is proceeding efficiently, and its conclusion is expected within the next two weeks. While the wheels of justice may turn more slowly...
