New rules for trials and punishments will very likely be implemented before the next deadlines.
To sum up, there are three instances that can make the Deputy of Public Harmony arrest someone for a trial: the civil court, court martial, and cult tribunals.
The following are example crimes. I'm sure someone could come up with a crime not on the list, in which case the courts will improvise.
