Self Defense Extension Act (Revised)
Preamble: To allow self-defense use for anything that should happen to a player so they can fight back for the safety of themselves and others. Also, allow for the forced removal from a property they own should they be trying to do something bad. This will also allow for departments to do the same and fight back with OC, batons, and any tool they may have.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF FIRESTONE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:
SECTION 1: Chapter 5, Section 7 of the Firestone Criminal Code currently states:
“(a) Self defense shall be the act of employing force reasonable to the average person to stop or react to the harm of oneself when not in commission of a crime. Deadly force may only be employed in self defense to respond to a threat of serious bodily injury or death.
(b) Defense of another shall be the act of employing force reasonable to the average person to stop or react to the harm of another individual not in the commission of a crime. Deadly force may only be employed in defense of another to respond to a threat of serious bodily injury or death.
(c) Persons may use their legal (and or department provided) firearm, to act in self-defense or defense of another, or to use deadly force to prevent an escape of a fleeing suspect only if the individual has good-faith belief that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury. If a subject is fleeing from the scene or otherwise is no longer directly posing a threat, persons may still use lethal force on the pretense that the subject has the potential to, or reasonably may continue to pose such a threat to life as they were previously.

(c) Persons may use — except if illegally obtained — their firearm or other lethal force to act in self-defense or defense of another or to use deadly force to prevent an escape of a fleeing suspect only if the person has a good-faith belief that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury. If a subject is fleeing from the scene or otherwise is no longer directly posing a threat, persons may still use lethal force on the pretense that the subject has the potential to, or reasonably may continue to pose such a threat to life as they were before.
