Law Amendment Update

ARTICLE X. STATE LICENSED SECURITY COMPANIES

SA-PSC § X.1. Security Companies
A security company must be licensed to operate by the state in order for their activities to be considered legal. The license is obtainable from the Department of Licensing.

SA-PSC § X.2. Use of force
A licensed security company may use force that is proportionate to the threat, only when actively protecting property or individuals who have employed the licensed security company for such a task. When faced with a non-lethal force, such as an attack by use of melee weapons or fists, the proportionate response would be returning with a melee weapon or fists.

Once force has been used against an individual, a law enforcement agency must be called on scene to investigate further. Should it be determined that a security official used disproportionate amount of force, the security official must be terminated from the security company, in addition to other lawful proceedings law enforcement agencies may execute.

SA-PSC § X.3. Lethal and non lethal weapons

Non lethal weapons are, but not limited to: a baseball bat, a cane, a nightstick, brass knuckles, pepper spray and others that do not shoot projectiles.

Lethal weapons are, but not limited to: knife, colt45, desert eagle, UZI and others that shoot projectiles.

SA-PSC § X.4. Concealment of identity

Licensed security companies, when actively protecting property or individuals who have employed the licensed security company for such a task, may not conceal their identity by use of mask or other items. They must be easily identifiable and must present ID when requested by law enforcement.

SA-PSC § X.5. Vehicles

Licensed security companies may not utilize any emergency lights or sirens. They may not violate traffic laws nor prohibit passage to vehicles. In case they are hired to provide security to an individual who has to be escorted in a convoy, they must request a San Andreas Highway Patrol unit, or a San Andreas Police Department unit to provide escort to such a convoy, where blockage of passage to other vehicles and priority are required.

SA-PSC § X.6. Use of restricted items

A licensed security company may utilize M4 assault rifle and a sniper rifle and is exempt from the prohibition of said weapons only when actively protecting properties or individuals. Other restrictions, on weapons or items that are not specially exempt here, still apply.

San Andreas Governor
