Chapter 2

Code of Conduct for Magistrates.

A Magistrate of The Blood Tribunal is a representative of the cities it
protects and should conduct themselves as such. Your conduct should be such
that it portrays the cities as a place where anyone is welcome and
comfortable regardless of their affiliation and background. Magistrates of
the Blood Tribunal should strive to ensure that the Ruler, Elected official
or religious leaders of the city they protect would approve of their
behavior. As protectors of order Magistrates should not threaten, harass or
belittle any citizens within the city walls. Even showing those that are
despicable by their judgment a welcoming presence. Such a presence will
promote a sense of safety and welcome increasing business with local shops
and vendors, promoting the trade system that is one of the hallmarks of an
orderly system of living.

A Magistrate should be polite, clear and concise when dealing with
interpretations of laws and issuing warrants for a criminals arrest. A
simple and official notification of the persons infraction should be stated
to a criminal as soon as is safely possible after one is issued. A magistrate
should not lose their temper and resort to petty and personal attacks upon a
criminal after a warrant is issued, such is the way of a tyrant and has no
place within the Spire. Such behavior could eventually lead to the Spires
undoing or a civic leader requesting us to remove our presence within their
city. When dealing with a suspect during an investigation it should be
remembered that the suspect has not yet been proven guilty of their crime and
should be treated as an innocent civilian until such a time exists that
enough evidence has been provided to prove otherwise.
