First of all thank you for the response Gandalf, in response to these rules being used against us, as many have said, there is an easy (at least in my opinion) way to get around this.
All rules/guidelines that SAPD officers and above would have to follow would be posted on the SAPD briefing center, which is accessible only to officers and above... this meaning that the "can be used against us" would be narrowed down to only those who can see the board, meaning our own guys. If one of our guys are reporting another, then it has to be pretty serious.. and I highly doubt (even though it is possible) that they would use the rules against us.
Second of all, we already receive many reports on our officers without a full set of these rules in place.. so the thought of ridiculous reports increasing is at minimal.. seeing as we already have quite a few.
This is the basic format that would be followed should one of our officers or above be reported:
Reporter makes a report on one of our members, I see it as "If they've done something that wrong then they will be reported regardless of whether or not the reporter can see any rules or extra guidelines; see the amount of reports we get already".
The people investigating the report (Lieutenants, Captains, Deputy Chief, Chiefs) can use the guidelines as a reference. They look over the report and the guidelines, and if they're breaking protocol then it will be taken into consideration into the report, and action against the officer will follow.
