Point of fact changes in the recent edit:
- I have reverted the change that cut the HoP out of the chain of command. There are many situations where there is no HoS, the Captain is a drunken boob, dead, or both, and the HoP is the closest thing to an authority on the station. There's no reason why Security can't take orders from the HoP in this situation, up to the normal limits of not being a torturer/creepy fuck/etc.
- I have reverted the change that said arrest announcements should be made over the Security channel, not the General channel. Sec itself doesn't care about every shoe thief on the station, but it's extremely helpful outreach to the crew to know that yes, muggings ARE being addressed when they happen and no, security ISN'T acting like a bunch of power-tripping five year olds about it.
- I have reverted the change that said you shouldn't flash someone when reclaiming your cuffs "unless they prove to be particularly robust or tenacious." There is no reason why a short stun to reclaim security equipment is a problem, particularly considering the fact that they are about to be brigged for a crime. A suspect has absolutely nothing to lose by attempting to rush out the door and turn the brig into another chase scene, and the overwhelming majority of them attempt to do exactly that. Running around with someone in the brig like that is annoying and dangerous for the officer and serves no purpose. You either re-subdue the suspect and do exactly what you would have done earlier if you hadn't been fucking around, or the suspect gets a lucky groin/head hit on you, strips you clean, and runs out of the brig with your ID. There's no reason to take that stupid risk.
