Article M-T99 - GM Custom Ruling

"By order of the State of Wildoria, your liberty is suspended for the term named on the order. This measure sits outside ordinary criminal procedure and is not subject to recidivism escalation."

Most of the Code answers offenses the State can name. M-T99 answers the rest. It is the reserve clause, the article invoked when public order is plainly at stake but the matter does not sit cleanly under debt, property, violence, or sworn duty. The term carried by an M-T99 detention is not set in advance: it is named on the order itself, by the authority that issues it, and the verdict reads only what the order reads.

On No Escalation

Repeat M-T99 detentions are not gathered together under the Recidivism Clause. Each hold is judged on its own ground, and the Court records no compounding multiplier against the citizen. The State's reasoning is that the article is too broad to be escalated fairly: two M-T99 detentions may have nothing in common but their chapter, and the Code refuses to treat them as the same offense.

On Bail

There is no bail under M-T99. Because the term is set by the issuing authority rather than by the article, there is no schedule against which a fine could be reckoned, and the State does not offer one. The order ends when the order says it ends.

On the Record

Every M-T99 detention is filed with a written reason from the issuing authority. The note is preserved with the sentence record and may be surfaced in the citizen's verdict at the State's discretion. The Code's preference is for plain dealing: a citizen detained under M-T99 is owed an account of why.
