An example would be deciding not to charge a character with 514. Vandalism because they are a minor and the officer or deputy in this situation would rather try to discourage the young character from committing more crimes in the future than arrest them for a non-severe and non-violent misdemeanor. An example of when not to use discretion would be declining to charge a character with 105. Battery, also a misdemeanor, because the officer or deputy just doesn't feel like arresting them. Despite 105. Battery being a misdemeanor, it's a violent crime that the average peace officer would not overlook in normal circumstances and ignoring that crime might fall under the officer or deputy's corruption rules.))

PROBABLE CAUSE & PLAIN VIEW still applies when an officer is entering a facility for a hot pursuit or entering the public area of a private facility.
28. Probable Cause & Plain View Policy Peace officers have the power to seize and record evidence upon any event that is in their plain view so long as they have a legal reason to be where they’re located at the time. A person who gives a government employee permission to view or access a facility, equipment or other areas is permitting an officer to view a facility for probable cause or plain view evidence. Probable Cause does not have a specific definition, but refers to the ongoing premise that an officer’s “gut feeling” supported by plain view evidence (such as the smell of marijuana or other items) that would imply a probable situation of criminality and authorize a search based on that evidence. Probable Cause can be circumstantially contested in a court of law.
29. Repeat Offenders The District Attorney's Office, a representative of the Governor's Office, or a judge may charge a person who's arrested for at least one felony or misdemeanor, who has been previously convicted of at least one felony or misdemeanor, with this clause, which will increase the time due by one-hundred percent (100%) for the repeat offender. A judge may issue an indefinite suspension to any license under the repeat offender clause when it has been demonstrated that the person is likely not to cease committing the offense in the future. A judge may order the indefinite seizure of any vehicle used in the commission of the crime when it has been demonstrated that an individual is unlikely to cease committing the offense in the future and such vehicle was used in the commission of the crime.
30. Immunity At the request of a law enforcement officer and in return for witness testimony, a district attorney may choose to grant a person either a transactional immunity or use and derivative use immunity. A transactional immunity is a type of immunity where a person cannot be charged for a crimes revealed in his/her testimony. A use and derivative use immunity is a type of immunity which guarantees that a person's testimony cannot be used against them.
