Just a quick poll to get your views.
It’s a blue shift. There are traitors, possibly changelings or other dangerous people on the station.
How should security go about searching and detaining people they come across.

Search their bag or their person?
??? How should they go about searching.
By searching.
Thanks bro.
Ask. If they refuse, flash and cuff. Then search forcefully, if you find nothing then just give the backpack back, uncuff and let them go.
While i prefer security asking me for a bag instead of flashing me like barbarians, in reality a lot of people when security asks them for a bag starts running away even when they are non-antags and have nothing suspicious to hide so flash and cuffing is the most effective way to do it.
“Hi can I sear-“
HAHA Desword go VRRRRR
2 hits with stunbaton and he’s done
alternatively bola/slip the dude
I usually get within 2 tiles of someone, ask for their bag, if they take too long ill give them like 5 seconds and if they still dont do anything flash and cuff, most of the time they try to run away but unless they have some speed boost it ends up with them in cuffs.
the best way to do it is to wear the sec mask and if you want to search someone, use the voice lines; if they run away light them up with your disabler.
saves you from those antag moments where you type out ‘hello good sir may i…’ as the traitor e-swords your head.
its also highly context driven
if its a non-bloody person in there job department il probably just ask them to throw there bag over
if its a bloody assistant with the caps hat on running around im going to shoot first, ask later
I think it mostly depends on where you are, like if your in a very public place like the main hallway or medbay than you should ask first but if your in a secluded place like atmos or maintenance than flash cuffing is fine
always arrest with flashbangs its very effective
a couple buckshot shells at close range should do the trick. If they’re clean, inject them with meth and walk away
step 1: ask if they willing
step 2: die
don’t forget to mix meth with mutagen for maximum fun
Flash cuff.
It takes seconds and eliminates risk. It doesn’t harm the crew. There are places where compromises should be made but there’s no reason to be nice about something that takes such a short amount of time and doesn’t impact the cuffed’s round if they aren’t antags.
Just make sure tiders don’t get their items or something.
Kill them with harmbaton
Search
If traitor Borg
If no suspicious items clone and apologize for the inconveniences
Once, when I have my backpack stolen, 3 sec officers arrested me for not giving them my backpack to search. I think on MRP it’s… okay, but it could be better. IMO, it should go more in the talking direction, not random flashes to search someone
Tell them you need to search them, oftentimes they’ll drop their bag on the floor for you. Also ask them to empty their pockets, and take off boots and outerwear since they can contain items also.
If they don’t comply within 5 seconds then flash and cuff.
