Regalian Law: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

The Regalian Guard is permitted to circumvent certain laws when it concerns the proper and decent execution of their duties as Regalian Guard. Any Guard who violates Regalian Law without proper cause, must be removed and then prosecuted by the Lord Commander. The Lord Commander may make any office within the Regalian Guard, and grant them any responsibilities within the Guard. The Lord Commander may be removed by a total vote of the Regalian Guard, if the vote count is 60%+1 vote in favor of removal, after which a 50%+1 vote will be needed to confirm a new Lord Commander. Regalian Guards are permitted automatic Weapon and Armor permits, but may not wear them on Government Property, Offices, or Holy Ground. Government Property and Offices are guarded by the Chancellor’s Contingent Guard, who have the same rights as Guards covered by this Legal Code otherwise.

===Legal Code for Knights===

Those who are still registered members of Regalian State approved Knighthood Orders, have specific rights granted to them. Knights who have been expelled or are put on leave, will not have the Legal Code for Knights apply to them. The Knight privilege is as follows. Knights are permitted to bear any armor and weapons visibly in public, so long as their Order identity is visible in what they are wearing. This right extends to the outdoors and private space, but not Government Offices and Property, or Holy Ground. Knights may engage in legal Duels within areas designated as combat arenas without being found guilty of harm laws. Any and all Knights must report other knights, even of different Orders, if they violate their Code to the Lord Chancellor who sends the information on to the relevant Orders for arbitration. Finally, Knights must be called ~~Ser if male, and Dame if female~~.

===Legal Code for Weapons and Armor===

It is illegal to wear Armor without a permit that is not purely decorative. Decorative armor is established as only shoulder-pieces, only forearm bracers, or only a helmet (never only a chest-piece), or having been made of a material that offers no greater protection than cloth. It is illegal for anyone without a Weapon Permit to bear a weapon other than a Rechtshelm, which is a stiletto that can easily be hidden on the body, and can never be longer than 10 inches, requiring concealment at all times. After a permit is granted for either or both, public and non-concealed wearing is permitted. Permits are granted by the Armament Commissioner, which is a position appointed by the Lord Chancellor, as part of the Regalian Government. Permits cannot be granted by the Regalian Guard, however the Lord Commander may revoke Permits for those found guilty of crimes involving their armor and weapons in some capacity.
