The rules used to define certain actions as either Crimes (matters of law, requiring CFJ) and Infractions (matters of fact, requiring a simple claim-of-error-style announcement, generally less serious), each with a specified penalty. Rule violations not otherwise defined as one of these things were shoehorned into something like "the Class N Crime of Violating the Rules" (N = Power of highest rule violated).
I considered a proto that would revisit the Infraction system, but quickly realized that deputisation not only covers it sufficiently, but rewards (with a rare color of VC) a more useful activity (actually performing the late action, not just pointing out its lateness).
