In any melee brawl it's likely that someone's going to stop a punch from a mate, so the fuzz are going to cop it (pun intended) from a well-meaning, civic-minded, killer like me from time to time and no offence meant.
I really don't mind paying the bounty I get as a result, but I do mind having to leave the fight to go and pay the fine at the station so that the cops won't start on me once the real baddies have been nailed. The 200-300Cr it costs me is neglible compared with the bounties I can earn on the battlefield.
So, my suggestion is to give an option of paying a kind of "on the spot fine", call it "admission of guilt" if you like, which you pay to the sweeney in the field and then you don't have to take a day off to go before the beak. To prevent abuse, there might be a time limit, say, so that you have to cough up within 5 minutes of breaking Plod's jaw, or it's the bracelets for you. Or something.
Is that totally off the wall?
