A new law to be added in space law.

[bigfatbananacyclops]

This law is mostly related to station unauthorised construction or modifiations.

Examples

''Modifying the disposal vent system sending trash to the captain's office''

''Walling up hallways and making obstructions''

''Bartender barricading the bar and making it a fort in green''

I tried to find a willing sentence to this, the fitting sentences right now are Vandalism and Workplace Hazard, but i feel this needs to be added as a law.

There's CE construction permits that people can get, and it's never used,  in my opinion this should be a Medium Crime.

If this construction causes a leak to space it should be considered workplace hazard now.

This could make construction permits actually useful for once.

If someone is renovating their department that's fine, unless it's someone else's without a permition.

Vandalism or Creation of a workplace hazard works for these scenarios. No need to add more bloat to space law

[bigfatbananacyclops]

It wouldn't bite for it to be added, it's just one, it could also be easier for people to identify the crime.

[Spacemanspark]

It's needless bloat that is already covered perfectly by two laws we already have. Not really seeing the purpose.

I think the issue is that in the situations presented, people are hesitant to throw around the words "Workplace hazard."

You don't know what construction permits are for, right? They are one use blueprints to declare rooms.

Arresting people for fooling around in their workplace isn't really keeping to the spirit of the game IMO, though as said what's described in OP is already adequately covered by the vandalism/hazard/dereliction of duty laws.

If certain folks are really being a nuisance there's absolutely nothing stopping you from dealing with it IC, just take their metal/confiscate that toolbelt, just don't be shocked when you walk back to the brig to find all the entrances blocked by vending machines.
