[Video: A friendly message from your local Defense Committee.]
[Greeting Haven! The video starts and shows you quiet an odd group. Rose is standing closest to the camera with Smokescreen close by. In the background, there looms Tarn, being his usual charming self. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Defense committee.
[Rose is holding a pad and clears her throat some before addressing the camera and, thus, the rest of Haven.]
Hello. As some of you may know, Smokescreen, Tarn, and I consist of the Defense branch of the Law Committee. As such, it is our duty to oversee the operations of the Police Force. So after some meetings we have decided on some policies concerning the Police Force and the rights for anyone who has been accused of a crime.
[From the tone of her voice, one can think that those meetings didn't always go smoothly.]
I will like to point out that all the policies were decided on by all three of us agreeing on them.
[She brings up her pad and begins to read off the list of laws.]
First, the Police Force needs to consist of 1/3 Autobot, 1/3 Decepticon, and 1/3 unaligned members.
Second, those who arrive at Haven cannot be persecuted for crimes they have committed in their own world. In other words, everyone gets a clean slate when they first arrive, and thus the Police Force cannot arrest you when you first regain consciousness here, no matter how horrible of a crime you may have committed in your own world.
Third, there will be no arrests unless there is concrete proof that ties an individual to the crime.
Fourth, any accused is innocent until proven guilty.
Fifth, arrests on anyone who is not neutral must be overseen by one Autobot and one Decepticon Police Force member.
Sixth, anyone who has been arrested has the right to any consenting legal representative they want, as long that representative has not also been arrested.
Seventh, any active Police Force members on duty have to work in a group of two or more. On top of that, any on duty Autobot Police Force member must be partnered with a Decepticon and vice-versa.
Finally, should any Autobot or Decepticon wish renounce their affiliation, there will be a form available for you to fill out. Tarn has said he will officiate the ones for the Decepticons. It has yet to be decided who will officiate those for the Autobots.
[She lowers the pad and looks back at the camera.]
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask Tarn, Smokescreen, and myself.

I do believe that this is a common practice for law enforcement in other worlds anyway.
audio;
... I wouldn't know.
audio;
Even without the whole faction thing, a partner system will still be ideal. An extra set of eyes is always a good thing to have around.
audio;
It lessens the number of those available to help, if we're all required to be stuck together.
audio;
No, this it is just a matter of safety that is a common practice. The 'extra set of eyes' is meant to be pointed towards your environment rather then each other. The part about the factions maybe be scrapped considering some of the opinions I have been hearing about it.
audio;
[And I don't want a new partner.]
[That, though, it's probably best he doesn't say.]
None of those like me have factions. Everyone has dealt with danger before -- if you must pair some of us, then do those who have no experience.

... and if it's all the same... regardless of my not having a faction... if I need to speak to one of you "defense" people. I don't want to talk to Tarn.
Ever.
audio;
Very well. Feel free to either contact Smokescreen or myself if you need to.
