President/council being able to use/get cctv

[Leo_14]

What's your Minecraft Username?: Leo_14
What's the title of your suggestion?: President/council being able to use/get cctv

What's your suggestion?:
Basically, a portion of the time when events happen icly in school such as fighting or just general conflict between students that is detention worthy, there are no caretakers around, therefore meaning cctv cannot be retrieved, this in many scenarios has prevented people from being caught/dealt with fairly.

For example
A fight occurs, both assault eachother, however only one of them gets bruised, in an icly confrontation, only 1 would get detention as there was no evidence the other did the assaulting, however if cctv was retrievable they would both receive detention.

Another example
A fight occurs where one student punches one, they would receive bruises, however another may dump water on the others head, which can dry and wont leave any stains. Therefore meaning that in that scenario, only the one with bruises would get detention, as there would be no proof that the one who did the water dump actually did it. (this is also applicable to swirly scenarios in the bathrooms)

So my suggestion is, for either council or JUST the presidents, are able to retrieve cctv, either the same way that caretakers do, or through the president computer in the council office.

I see 1 main con of this suggestion
- Less RP remotely to caretakers, from requesting cctv as that's a big thing of theirs

to combat this
- Presidents/council can only use the president computer for cctv when no caretakers are available (online)

How will this benefit the server and community?:
This will allow for many more scenarios to be properly dealt with, as usually if there is no presence of a caretaker, then usually only 1 participant would receive detention/an outcome would be met that would be different in there was cctv evidence present. where many would consider this unfair when the other party should also receive detention/punishment. With more people being able to obtain cctv it allows for the increase of more fairly dealt scenarios icly

-1 Not because I'm against the idea per se, but purely because it'd be absurd that these select students would be able to access CCTV but teachers/professors/other faculty on payroll are unable to. I've always found that odd. But yeah, I don't care about the caretakers losing their prized monopoly on CCTV access, and I'm pretty sure most other people wouldn't either.

Not every case can be solved. If no one receives slip, world doesn’t end. Do not must win, it’s just a roleplay server.

This would not make sense from an IC standpoint, just ask a caretaker

Ask a Caretaker.

I see what you mean, however, I don't think that everybody has to be punished if not caught by a caretaker. Don't stress about it too much, just do what you can do in your rank and if there are no caretakers on just explain how it is out of your hands and if they want to esculate the situation, to go see a caretaker.

Ask a Caretaker.

Yes, no caretakers are online but what if:
- No librarians?: Don't get a card or check out books
- No receptionists?: Ask someone else for directions/questions/etc
- No chefs?: Buy from vending machines

Same with no caretakers: No CCTV, it's possible to resolve issues without it, even if it's a bit harder.

What happens if there are caretakers online? If other people can check CCTV, what's the point? The fact people have to ask Caretakers to check CCTV will allow more council to school staff interactions and more RP opportunities. Besides, there's a reason why only Caretakers can enter the Boiler Room: They are the only ones who can make it out. /j

Things basically this (or fairly similar) have been suggested before and denied to the best of my knowledge. There are just some things we can't do if there's a certain role not online (like librarians or receptionists as stated above) and while it may suck, it's something we should get used to.
