Question

[eviltigerlily.livejournal.com]

Well, sort of. I see there's been some discussion lately regarding VIII and Rimmer in particular, which I er... missed. And well... There is this thing in BITR that always bothered me. In the trial scene the posse have to sign a consent form to be tried by mind probe using psychotropic drugs, but Rimmer never does. Can that be legal? Without Rimmer's trial they would have nothing on the rest either. Personally I believe they have been wrongfully imprisoned. They should be released immedately!

*glances up*
I will go quietly away now.

What I mean is, perhaps that wasn't as blatantly obvious as Hollister throwing regulations (or what have you) out the window when he questions Rimmer.

You'd think Holly would be aware of that, but, maybe not?

That's exactly it - we don't know if he threw regulations out of the window. We don't know that the contract with JMC doesn't allow for questioning without consent forms. It might very well. Certainly, since Holly goes along with it, it implies that it does - or that something can be finagled by a good finagler to make such questioning nominally legal.

These are things that must be known! XD

Indeed!

Mr Naylor must provide us with the JMC terms of employment contract for review.

Perhaps we can write to him and request it?

It's probably ok as long as no one complains (no that there is anyone to complain to).
