- (( When using officer discretion you should take into consideration the roleplay around the interaction and the severity of the crime. Officer discretion only applies to misdemeanors and infractions. An example would be deciding not to charge a character with 514. Vandalism because they are a minor and the officer or deputy in this situation would rather try to discourage the young character from committing more crimes in the future than arrest them for a non-severe and non-violent misdemeanor. An example of when not to use discretion would be declining to charge a character with 105. Battery, also a misdemeanor, because the officer or deputy just doesn't feel like arresting them. Despite 105. Battery being a misdemeanor, it's a violent crime that the average peace officer would not overlook in normal circumstances and ignoring that crime might fall under the officer or deputy's corruption rules. ))
