>Duty doesn't isolate the ability to warrant

What part of "off-duty you are just like a normal citizen" does imply that? It specifically says you cannot flag even if you witnessed a crime in another jurisdiction.

>as clear from the specific scenario listed when an off-duty Magistrate is attacked in a city that isn't his jurisdiction.

Yes, it is listed as the exception. It is stated to be the ONLY exception. And it's extremely specific: it has to be a personal attack, in a protected city that isn't the Magistrate's assigned city.

This is just about as much of a facepalm as when Umiron told me that "a provost is always on duty". Why are there helpfiles if we're just going to ignore them?
