Guard Default

1. Minor Crimes require the Guard to ask/tell the offender to leave before the conflict defaults to them.
2. Must be a legitimate guard or soldier of the Nation, they must also be in uniform.
3. The Offender must have broken a law, an assumption of wrongdoing is not proof enough to take Guard Default.
