The Governor may NOT grant diplomatic immunity to any persons, including himself, but MAY pardon an individual who has a bounty of less than $30,000 AND is wanted for a crime less than murder.

Risks

As governor, your actions decide whether the populace will like you or not. Low taxes, loose construction, and laws assisting civilians will normally up the trust they have in you. High taxes, horrid laws, and overall douchebaggery as a governor will most likely result in a target on your head. With a valid reason, individuals may place hits on the governor and have him assassinated.

Some valid reasons include:

Taxes 15% and over Stupid laws Threats to hostile gangs These are just a few of the many reasons. Don't go killing governors willy-nilly without a proper reason or it may be considered RDM!

Corruption

Should the Governor be witnessed and/or reported for committing a criminal act or act of corruption, he may be deemed corrupt by a lieutenant, a captain, or the chief of the police force. Upon being deemed corrupt, he no longer has any control over his city and must return the laws back to the default settings and return sales taxes to 5%. If he/she has committed a criminal act, he may be apprehended and arrested by the police force.

Death/Resignation

Upon the resignation or death of a governor, he/she MUST return ALL laws to their default state, removing any custom laws, and set the taxes at 5%. Upon doing this, the former governor MUST sell all governor entities, such as the armored black stretch limo and governor weapons. DO NOT SAVE/USE GOVERNMENT VEHICLES IF YOU ARE NOT GOV! IT IS BANNABLE! After all is normal, the former gov. must save stats and relog/reslot to remove governor status.
