== Public Order Regulation Act ==
* All ACC Constables are authorized to issue administrative fines for violations of public order.
* For a fine to be valid, the issuing Officer must complete a Fine Issuance Report (FIR) containing:
** Full name and identification of the offender (or description if identity unknown).
** Description of the offense.
** Location, date, and time.
** Fine amount applied.
** Constable's full name, badge number, and signature.
* Officers must submit FIRs within one week of the incident resolution, and all FIRs must be visible in the public areas of the ACC Headquarters for citizens to consult.
* A copy of the fine must be physically handed to the offender whenever possible through the CommNet network.
* The fines must be paid to a designated wallet for the officer. Officers shall receive a commission of 20% of the fine amount collected, and transfer the rest to the wallet of the ACC.
* Once a fine has been paid, the officer must post notice of that in the digital board.
* Officers found falsifying fine reports, inflating charges, or abusing fining authority shall be subject to:
** Suspension if found to be in good faith, or dismissal.
** Optional criminal charges, including fines or arrest.
