Reason for Ban MP made false arrest at round start of Delta SG, interferred with arrest as bravo SL which led to involvement of bravo marines escalating issue to brig raid by marines at round start. Asked to avoid such roleplay, especially with important roles at round start as it impacts round negatively.
Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): N/A
Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc) Delta SG, Goliath, was in Bravo Prep with my permission, next to a smashed window he hadn't broken. A MP started shouting at him regarding arresting him (Brandon Bratton?). The charges were false, as it was neither trespass because he had permission, nor was it damage to government property because the window was already broken. I got in the way and stated both of these, but the MP got increasingly insistent and tased Goliath down without bothering to listen to any of the evidence. Myself and another marine bumped him away from Goliath in an effort to get him to listen, he instead tased me down. He dragged Goliath into the Sec Checkpoint, came back, cuffed me and did the same. He then released Goliath saying he had bigger fish to fry before dragging me into the Sec Office, making it pretty clear that this had been bait the entire time.
He dragged me into the main brig and opened the doors where Bravos were outside voicing their concerns over the false arrest and bait, in order to bait them into the Brig so he could arrest them for trespass, which he promptly tried to do before dragging me into the room with all the cells. By this point I'd reported it to staff with no result, reported it to the CIC with no result.
Bravo got increasingly antsy over this, with some of them stuck in the Brig Lobby because of the aforementioned baiting. They broke into the Brig Cells area as John Alvador, a SO, arrived. The SO attempted to listen to the story and make the MP listen, but the MP ignored him and shoved me in a cell, all the while being told the original arrest was false. Alvador tried to remove me from the cell but the MP shoved me back in, before batoning both myself and Alvador. Bravo were getting super antsy at this point, with me having informed admins via another message that unless something was done there would be a lot of problems happening. At this point, the MP went SSD, via sleep or otherwise. I was taken out by Alvador, reclothed myself and headed planetside.
While planetside, I was asked by Desmet to explain what happened, which can be sourced via logs, eventually resulting in the mentioned note. As far as I was told, others involved were noted too, though the blame for the entire incident is on the MP for false arrests and bait, and the lack of a prompt response nor any attempt to halt escalation from staff. If no action had been taken by marines, it would likely have gone undealt with. Debating this, I was told a note wasn't punishment, when everyone is aware that notes are frequently used to base further punishment off and escalate it. Other players shouldn't be noted for this.
All in all, this entire situation was down to the MP committing a false arrest and breaking rules which staff didn't handle promptly when reported, thereby resulting in further problems which could have been avoided. At no point was anyone hurt nor was the round disrupted by the actions of the marines bar the MP at any time.
