Idea for Justice system

Get out of jail free cards. Let us use those pardons that we find, and when we get caught by the guard, just hand it over, and walk away with our stolen goods!

Sure. From the crown store.

I actually suggested something like this http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/155319/pay-off-the-guards-crown-store-items-concept

OP, I like it.

Wait... Wouldn't that be get out of jail paid, if we walk away with the billable goods?

Get out of jail "free" would only get rid if the bounty... You'd still have to lose the stuff.

Well and technically you'd have to be IN jail first, not standing in the middle if the street/bank with your hands in the air.

I am having so much fun with the justice system. An actual jail would be fun aswell. Though I'm not so keen on possibly losing hard earned skill points, ha ha.

Just pick the lock and slip away nice and quiet like.

Or have Raz bust you out.

@dawnhawk: "get out of jail free" is an expression derived from the game Monopoly. It's use doesn't literally have to mean 'jail' anymore, more that it's a free pass to get out of trouble.

Personally I'd refrain from suggesting that they add it to the store - the more they add, the more it will lean towards pay-to-win.

Id rather not see something like that wind up in the store either.. But I wouldnt mind an additional option added, something like when a guard catches you, and you have 'pay fine' or 'flee' options, maybe one more option for 'pay off guard'..
You would pay off guard maybe half of your fine, and you will allowed to leave with all your stolen goods ..this does NOT remove your fine though- it just gives you a chance to get away..
But in many cases the guard may be honest..and choosing this option will not only get you an angry refusal, your fine has now doubled...thieves take chances, this will just be one more...
