News : Public Service Law Amendment

The Public Service Law (PSL), implemented by the local council in December of last year, was again revised earlier this week.
The white papers issued by the council advises citizens and visitors to Sinners Bay to be aware of the following :

Under the PSL, any person may be lawfully traded at public auction in Sinners Bay Market Square for a specific period of indentured labour as a form of restitution.
Rather than to incur more public spending in costly and lengthy legal processes; the law immediately applies to all persons who are unable to afford or unwilling to pay for any form of incurred debt.
A person who has been served with a PSL is actively placed in public auction for a period of 48 hrs during auction days. The public is invited to make private bids for any person on the auction block and their PSL contracts.

Persons whose PSL contracts are not bought by the public during auction, must serve their sentence in one of the following jobs* :
1) Selling Fish and Chips at the Cod Father
2) Waitressing at the Dogs Bollocks Pub
3) Table Dancing at the Dogs Bollocks Pub
4) Manning the laundry at the King Koin Laundrette
5) Offering Maid Service at the Bay Motel

*Job conditions are specified in each individual PSL contract and varies uniquely. This may involve the use of special uniforms, specific service or other apparatus.

A PSL can also be issued for the violation of the following state laws.

a) Prostitution without a license
b) Gambling without a license
c) Jaywalking
d) Leaving a vehicle unattended
e) Drunk and disorderly conduct
f) Impersonating a police officer
g) Obstruction
h) Littering
i) Shoplifting
j) Disturbing the peace
k) Public Indecency / Lewd Conduct

A PSL circumvents the need for prisons and prisoner systems.
The PSL is only suitable for minor and petty offences carrying a maximum sentence of up to 1 week.

News : Swamp Thing Kills Again

On June 28th at approximately 2pm in the afternoon, two bird watchers stumbled across the brutally mutilated body of a dead woman in the Sinners Bay swamp lands.
The unidentified woman was approximately 5'8" weighing 140lbs with medium brown hair, and found dressed in cotton pyjamas.
Whilst there were multiple knife wounds and lacerations to the body, her clothes did not appear to have any blood stains.




Medical staff at the crime scene, a Miss Jessica Jinshu (RN), declared the woman deceased. An exact cause of death may later be made known in autopsy findings though it is likely to have been a direct result of the violent slash across the victim's throat.
Miss Jinshu also commented that the body of another woman sustaining identical injuries had also been found in the swamp last month.
The police were again unable to comment at the time of this report.
