Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 18, Period 1, 03.16.06

[OOC: It will be difficult to play while at work today due to moving to a new office down the hall and therefore not being at the computer. Or even, perhaps, having my computer set up for a portion of the day. Therefore, I have help today! Class Info Post.]

"Hello, class!" Tick said from behind his desk. Lockheed was on his normal shelf. "Today we have a special guest: Constable Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Fandom High Security. He will be speaking of his experiences and views on Justice. So please, have some coffee," Tick motioned to the cups on his desk, "and give Constable Fraser your full attention."

Fraser speaks!

You ask, Fraser answers!

In case you didn't on Tuesday.

Fraser may stick around a little, but also use this if you need to talk to Tick about anything.

Big thanks to

themountieman

Yay, mountie!

Seconds the YAY!

Fraser smiles and steps to the front of the room. Yes, he's in uniform and yes, the hat is on. He nods politely at Lockheed. "Good morning, sir."

Turning towards the class, he starts his lecture. "Professor Tick is correct in saying that I am a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The RCMP is both the federal police force and national police of Canada. The RCMP enforces certain federal laws. It also contracts with Canada's three territories and eight of its provinces to serve as their provincial or territorial police. The RCMP is basically similar to the police forces established here in the United States save for differences in uniform, of course, and other differences in the structure of our law enforcement agencies."

He takes a breath. "Your professor asked me to talk about my views on justice. And, as evidenced by my choice of career, you can see I'm pro justice," he says, attempting a joke. "Criminal should be punished. The punishment should absolutely fit the crime. Operating under the laws of the RCMP, I'm committed to bringing dangerous criminals to justice and my belief is that the judicial system is also committed to seeing that the criminal is punished in accordance with their crime."

This time, he crosses his arms over his chest. "Sometimes, criminals escape justice whether it be through law enforcement error or acquittal in the court systems. And yes, that is not the outcome I hope for. Justice does catch up with everyone sooner or later."

So after Tuesday's discussion Cameron just has to ask. "Sir, do you find that the uniform helps you to do a better job? And does it seem more popular with certain parts of the civilians than with others?"

"Does my uniform better help me do my job? I think it makes me more noticeable and, in certain circumstances, alerts those who need help that they can approach me since my uniform gives me away as a law enforcement individual. Does it help me better catch criminals? I honestly don't believe it makes that much a difference. Criminals do not want to be caught in most circumstances so, whether I'm wearing a uniform or jeans and a t-shirt, criminals will still attempt to evade and I'll still attempt to pursue and capture," Fraser answers. "As for the popularity of the uniform, it does seem to attract attention."

Cameron nods because that makes sense. Then he asks, "Mostly with girls, right?"

Aeryn just goes really quiet and doesn't say anything.

"I think it could go eithe way," Fraser answers. "Men and women alike seem fascinated by my uniform. Some to the point of staring."

"Well, it's red so... yeah, noticable."

Jaye raises her hand. "Mr. Hot Mountie, sir? Under the influence of gremlin, I thought I was a cop and frisked someone, but I think I did it wrong. What's the proper procedure? Can we get a demonstration?"

"It is, indeed, red. Very comfortable though."

Fraser's still stuck on the name she just called.

"Mr. Hot Mountie?" Fraser finally asks.

"Looks more comfortable than leather. Actually, leather looks comfy, but boy is it not." Yes, he's discussing outfits in class.

"Yes," Jaye says. "I like that name."

"Is there a reason you would have need to frisk someone while in school?"

"I don't believe I've ever worn leather," Fraser says. And, if he has, he's repressing it.

"It squeaks," Cameron tells him seriously. "It especially sucks if you get locked out of your room for the weekend in it."

Jaye coughs.

Jaye wants to know if she can fix this. Because yowza.

Justice is like a clown, dressing up in disguise to do its job? This still makes no sense to me.
