Repeal Rule 2619 (Indictment).
Amend Rule 2557 (Sentencing Guidelines) by appending the following paragraph:
When the rules authorize an investigator to issue an Indictment
for a violation, e CAN do so by levying a fine on the perp, with
1.5 Agoran Consent, provided that levying the fine would be
otherwise LEGAL and EFFECTIVE.
[Note that this allows a crime to be given a 0 punishment, so it works
down as well as up. The "legal and effective" means the fine is
open-ended, but still subject to defendant's rights].
