Only anti-capital punishment policies apply to the criminals which violate your
policy. If they have a ACP policy on their insurance, but they kill you or your
dependant, and you have a Capital Punishment policy, they get handed over to
your PPA for adjudication. Now, the two PPAs may have a arbitration precedent in
which instead of handing the scum over for just punishment, the scumbag can pay
you $100,000 for each year he clipped off the life of you or your family member,
then he can get off. If he can't pay the exchange fee, then he gets handed over
for, shall we say, resolution.
