Because someone claimed that "Protection" was not the service provided by CONCORD.
RL Police provide Protection, not Prevention. CONCORD provides Protection, not Prevention.
See?
In broad strokes, comparing CONCORD to a Police force works. Once you start into details like "well that means CONCORD should patrol like real police" or "why doesn't CONCORD attack the catalyst yellowboxing a miner in a belt," the comparison breaks down because there are no Crimes in EVE that CONCORD doesn't already punish nigh-instantly. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Wrong.
By the time CONCORD gets to who they're suppose to "serve and protect", they're dead and the assailant is just waiting to die. He accomplished what he set off to do, and wasting nothing in a throw away ship.

Works the same way with the protection that Police provide. They show up after the crime has been committed, unless they're already on scene (BTW, CONCORD also reacts faster when it's already on the scene).
Protection is still the service being provided.
Also, what Crime in EVE is not punished by CONCORD? This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

No.
Had a drunk neighbor who wouldn't leave my yard. Called the cops, they arrived within 10mins. Cop asked the dude to get out of the car. He refused. Cop pulled out his Glock, pointed it behind his ear, and asked him to get out of the car. The dude carefully did.
Last summer some neighbors and whoever started shouting and carrying out a scene before my yard. Shouting; throwing their jackets on the street; and it getting nastier by the minute. Called the cops, 10mins later, 3 patrol cars literally screeched to a halt before them. Told them to stop, went to the neighbor (still screaming) and told her point blank to shut up or she'll be arrested. 19 people were out there...19...and damn if their antics was going to hurt my mom. The scene was dispersed, but I'm sure the cops would've used whatever means at their disposal to stop the situation before it truly got out of hand.
CONCORD in EvE, arrives 3 days late, is like Barney Fife (complete with one trusty bullet in his pocket) and could handle but one player at a time.

Your drunk neighbor was committing a crime (trespassing, Public Intox, and maybe DUI) long before the Police showed up.
Your neighbors were committing a crime (Disturbing the Peace) long before the Police showed up.
In EVE, CONCORD starts rolling as soon as a crime is committed, which is actually a lot better than RL police who only start rolling as soon as one is Reported.
What's confusing you is that there are no crimes in EVE that aren't (for lack of a better term) point-source. Your examples are both examples of ongoing crime lasting quite a long time. EVE doesn't really have those.
Name a crime in EVE that CONCORD does not respond to. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

All of them didn't face any charges.
And what is confusing you is -- the examples shows you what cops actually do day-to-day to keep peace.
When folks talk about policing, it's cops who arrive on time and remedy the problem (either by getting the offender away; arrests; or if needed using deadly force), in a timely fashion.
I never had to wait longer than 10mins for a cop to be at my door. That's RL times. Ingame it should be instant.
Devs know where the draw the line. They see the results when it's not done. Newbies are protected until they leveled/skilled enough to fight on their own.

You are sorely mistaken.
Real world police do protection and prevention.
Not only will they arrest you for commiting a crime, but also will arrest you if they suspect you of planning to commit a crime.
I could list all the cases where the FBI has arrested tons of people on conspiracy to commit crimes they themelves facilitated the criminals to actually plan to commit. (Like where the FBI tricked the persons into believing they were going to sell explosives to them and then arrested the person on conspiracy to commit terrorism before the act ever happened even if there were no explosives to begin with).
As in.... It would be like concord blowing up ships because you locked someone. Sure you might have just been scanning them, but they needed to punish you just to be sure you were conspiring to commit a henious act.
So no. Concord isn't like real life police in that respect.
Personally, I would prefer that our police authorities not arrest people for theoretical crime, but the truth is that they do and that is called crime prevention. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

Doesn't matter if they faced charges. The Police officer only had the authority to do what he did because they were committing a crime. A Police officer who tries to intimidate someone who is not committing a crime is, himself, committing a crime.
The Police Officer arrived only AFTER the crime was initiated. That is the point of comparison here. Whatever he did once there is irrelevant.
Police Show up after a Crime is committed and do something. CONCORD Shows up after a Crime is committed and do something.
Would you prefer that CONCORD delivered a stern talking-to to gankers instead of blowing up their ship? This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Conspiracy to Commit is, itself a crime. 18 USC S 2332b (a)(2)
"(2) Treatment of threats, attempts and conspiracies.GÇö Whoever threatens to commit an offense under paragraph (1), or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be punished under subsection (c)."
Locking someone is not a crime in EVE.
Once again, you're confusing RL laws with laws in EVE.
Incidentally, Conspiracy is a lot more involved than "might have been planning." This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

No where did I say that locking on to some one was against "EVE law" nor do I suggest they be changed to suit such a need.
I am just saying that if real world laws applied to "EVE laws" that locking on to someone would be a crime because that would be a sign that you are conspiring to commit an offense. It would be like pointing a gun at someone or some instrument that could be a gun.
Sure you could say, "But officer I was just pointing a gun at them! I wasn't going to shoot!" (Like lets say you went into a bank and pointed a toy gun at the teller.)
So no. "EVE law" has nothing to do with real world law in that regard because you can basically point your guns at someone all day and nothing happens. I don't think this should change either.
As to the conspiracy issues.... It is a gray area where thinking about committing a crime begings and conspriracy begins.
Everyone thinks about committing crimes on occasion but it doesn't mean they will do it.
But even doing a google search on the means on how to commit the crime is grounds enough to convict you in some cases.
It would be like if concord could court order google to hand over ip addresses and to automatically blow up any anyones ship who visisted Mittani's guide on how to gank miners.
See there is a quite a big difference between real world police and Concord. It would be silly to try to make the two similiar. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

I never said anything about porting RL Laws into EVE. Nor did I say that RL Police were the same as CONCORD. In fact, I said that RL Police and CONCORD were only similar in broad strokes and if simplified, and that any comparison would fall apart in the specifics.
All I said was that CONCORD provides Protection as its service, rather than Prevention. Just like RL Police provide Protection as its service, rather than prevention. (Arresting someone for conspiracy means that the crime of Conspiracy was committed, so the crime charged was, in fact, not prevented.) And that not providing Prevention as their service does not negate the fact that they provide protection. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

That said, law enforcement itself believes that its job is to prevent crime, not just prosecute it.....
For example, the FBI wants to aggregate social media in order to prevent crime:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/minority-report-is-real-fbi-wants-to-use-social-networks-to-prevent-future-crime/
I did a google search on "FBI" and "crime prevention" and got tons of examples..... Also this gem though very politically biased:
http://harmlesserrorblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/FBIentrapsmantopreventfakecrime.html
So if you called the FBI today and asked them "Do you prevent crime?" I'm sure the person who answered the phone would say yes.
With EVE there is just punishment. There is nothing wrong with that. Unless you really want people at CCP investigating people for planning to commit EVE crimes.
[edit]
All this talk about the FBI and me posting those links probaly has me on their watch list now. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

Well by that I mean that its official policy.

The price of stability is a higher "price of admission". I could mine gold in the Congo or in Alaska. In the Congo there are less barriers to entry and lower overall costs, but significantly more risk. It is the first part that is missing in EvE hi sec, barriers to entry and higher overall costs.
Nothing is free in a "civilized" nation or space. Where are the mining permits and the subsequent outlaws that mine without a permit? Where are the taxes, beyond corporate taxes, for living in protected space? Docking permits, trade license, etc.
Beyond making the hi sec experience realistic it could add flavor to the game. Loose practices in some factions including corrupt officials or tight laws down to a specific permit required for each type of ore. All available at a local space station.
Risk versus reward is bozo. Lo sec is about freedom, hi sec is about sacrificing those freedoms for protection.
I agree, we need revenue streams with which to pay concord!

Cops intimidate all the time, as it helps to PREVENT crime. My dad held a transpasser into the air until cops arrived before. Poor boy must've dropped his load, when dad berated him as dad looks/acts every bit the DI he was. He never came back again, because around here transpass at 3am, I hope the guy likes Swiss cheese (my neighbor actually shot trespassers with rock salt, and even getting a shot at one guy's rear with it). Between that and the Vietnam vet at one corner who'd dress down punks, and the AR-15 nut (his house is even lit like a prison), even a foreign invasion would have a problem.
It's the fear of the real consequences that keeps crime at bay, especially personal consequences.

It just depends on what potential crimes. Folks can lawyer all the time over what can or can't be done, but with cops you'd never know until they arrive.
The scenerios I posted about could've came out very deadly very quickly...the cops arrived just like in some movie on those 19. Literally swung around the curve and stopping within a foot of one guy and running out of the cars. With how they decked out their patrol cars, the sound of the arrival was scary enough. It was that in itself that probably dispersed them (they looked bewildered). The cop addressing the woman, he wasn't playing when he ordered her to shut up or be arrested.
One thing is for sure where I live law and order is truly law and order. And we like it that way and pay for it...33 cops per 1000 residents. Why less than 10min response times.
So when I see CONCORD in EvE it's pretty weak, slow and ineffective. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

You're confusing discretion with impotence. Police officers don't give everybody who speeds a speeding ticket. Doesn't mean speeding is legal.
Quote:Cops intimidate all the time, as it helps to PREVENT crime. My dad held a transpasser into the air until cops arrived before. Poor boy must've dropped his load, when dad berated him as dad looks/acts every bit the DI he was.
Trespassing is a crime. Had your dad held some random innocent civilian on the sidewalk at gunpoint, guess who would have gone to jail. Because intimidating someone who has not committed a crime is, itself, a crime.

Police: 10 minute Response time, call it 80% conviction rate => Fast and Effective CONCORD: 30 second Response time, 100% conviction and punishment rate => Slow and Ineffective.
Good logic there, buddy. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

No I don't, because in a different post you showed how the comparison was awful and didn't work.
CONCORD punishes, not protects. Deterrent is not a protection because the ability is still there.

Does concord stop me from shooting someone in the face? No. Do they make sure I get punished afterwards? Yes. Hell, sometimes they even stop me from finishing the job. So they're more effective than RL police. vOv
And protection through deterrence is still protection. Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home. RIP Vile Rat |

By the time CONCORD gets to who they're suppose to "serve and protect", they're dead and the assailant is just waiting to die. He accomplished what he set off to do, and wasting nothing in a throw away ship. Pointless "protection". Works the same way with the protection that Police provide. They show up after the crime has been committed, unless they're already on scene (BTW, CONCORD also reacts faster when it's already on the scene). Protection is still the service being provided. Also, what Crime in EVE is not punished by CONCORD?

Intent. But that's besides the point. CONCORD does punish. What crime does Concord prevent? "I say tomato, you say tomaCCP BAN ALL TOMATOES THEY ARE HARASSING ME I WANT TOMATO FREE HIGHSEC."-á -TheGunslinger42 Proud enforcer of the Code, see [url]http://www.minerbumping.com[/url]-á for details. |
