Psychological Analysis of Suspect/Patient

Something I’ve heard around for a little while now is the aspect of assessing a medical patients/suspects mental health. Seeing some characters go through immense pain, such as Nancy who lost her child yesterday (rip), then go on a rampage in anger perhaps require a psychological analysis if given a prison sentence.

If the officer has a suspect that is behaving erratically etc, then they call a qualified EMT on scene or perhaps to the station where the EMT assesses the suspect asking a set of questions. Then giving the patient/suspect a diagnosis.

The diagnosis could have certain levels of severity, if the suspect is depressed or suicidal, still in full control of their actions then the report is made, and the officer sentences the suspect for the crime. If the suspect is diagnosed as being clinically insane then perhaps the suspect could make some sort of insanity plea. The officer takes it into consideration when sentencing and could perhaps take a couple of months off, based on the quality of rp/diagnosis level.

It should be noted that not all suspects get the psychological evaluation, only the ones that the officer deems require it.

I am aware this does have its limitations if there are only a few EMS/LSPD active, and if the server is busy with constant calls it may not be efficient. But, in cases where the server is a little less hectic it could be a fun tool for RP.

Absolutely not.

It's a cool idea, but what you're suggesting will inevitably end up diminishing RP more than it adds to it. When people start learning that "insanity" can result in lesser punishment, every single encounter is going to break down to "the voices in my head told me to do it."

I'm sure several people here know exactly what I'm talking about.

I say this all the time, when i'm singing to my headphone music but the cops can just hear me..... Or start rambling to a ghost... Never with the intent to get an insanity plea, lol ....

I like the idea if it had one change. Mental patience get locked in a mental ward section of the hospital for like a week (irl) before they get released. But it will never happen :(
