More information about Acting Commanding Officer should be added to Marine Law(For example, on CO's page you can see, that head of department is not eligible for aCO position, if he does not have any crew in his department, but it is not stated in Marine Law. What MPs are supposed to do, if someone is refusing to become aCO? Can CE order SO to do something, if SO is an aCO and CE is not eligible for aCO position? If CO deploys, who is in charge of operation, CO groundside or XO shipside?) Additionally I think, that MPs should be able to arrest aCO and CO for capital crimes (Such as Jailbreak) without waiting for HC approval, but with duty to fax HC after arrest.
What MPs are supposed to do, if CMP accepts appeal of prisoner, who, in fact, commited crime? (e.g. There is only one evidence: arresting MP testimony, and CMP decided not to fully trust MP. From MP's point of view, CMP is comiting jailbreak by releasing prisoner, who has commited crime, but from CMP's point of view, he is merely accepting appeal of wrongfully arrested marine).
Line "Only one charge may be applied per person, per unlawful event, except Resisting Arrest which can be optionally added on to any charge." should be modified to "Only one charge may be applied per person, per unlawful event, except Resisting Arrest and Neglect of Duty which can be optionally added on to any charge of enlisted marine and commisioned officer respectively.", since current bariant creates a bit confusing situation, in my ophinion (i.e. "Charges" say, that only Resisting arrest may be apllied on top of regular charges, but NoD law say, that NoD can be added to charges of commisoned officer).
I think, that information about differences between aCMP and CMP, and information about MP deployment (that is, who can authorise such deployment, or procedure for authorisation of MP deployment) should be added too.
COs, in my ophinion, should not be able to lower time of arrested marines below minimum time for crime.
Last thing I want to say is, that insult to commisioned officers should be treated more harshly. I agree, that previous "Disrespecting a superior officer" charge was too harsh but I think, that if marine says "Hey, you are retard" to CO in front of whole batallion, he should not be just warned. I think, that in case of insult to commisioned officer, MPs should be able to skip first step (Verbal warning or NJP) and be able to jump to second or even third step (5 and ten minutes respectively).
