Is there a way to get incorrect criminal points removed?

[LJB]

I was recently arrested for misdemeanour obstruction but it was incorrectly entered as a felony on the MDC which added three criminal points to my account.

Ask the judge on your case to update it. Charges can be upgraded (misdemeanor to felony) and vice versa. As such criminal points can be added and also removed.

More than that, it's a good bit of IC development if you choose to take it that way. You could sue the department that incorrectly charged you, maybe get the case thrown out entirely.

Sue them pigs

Take it to court is my advice! Things like this can be resolved IC'ly 🙂

I can heavily agree on the sue part. Whenever I sued people, it was great roleplay with the lawyer and other parties. Also if your char is crime oriented, it will be great development and a statement to win in the legal system.

How can OOC criminal points be handled IC?

Criminal points are not particularly OOC, as they clearly affect your character IC. Criminal points lead to IC consequences, therefore the logical consequence is to try to handle it IC. The incorrect input in the MDC is basically an IC mistake by the handling LEO.

As Rain says above, while "Criminal Points" are indeed a semi OOC way to describe your level of criminality, the effect they have on you is very much IC. You wouldn't for instance sue the department to "Get my criminal points removed" you'd sue them to "Have my records expunged".

Take it to court, good bit of IC development
