CrimeStat

CrimeStat is a parameter by which the criminal activity of individuals is measured, and threat assessments can be made in order to properly respond with judical action.

As of Patch 3.11, there are 5 CrimeStat ratings. Each consecutive level results in more severe punishments being placed on the offender. The various actions which result in the accumulation of CrimeStat are listed below. CrimeStat lowers over time, and can be paid off as a fine at lower levels.

Offenses are registered through Comm-Arrays, meaning that if these are disabled, no CrimeStat will be registered in the corresponding areas.

As of patch 3.18, the only location where you can clear your CrimeStat rating is Security Post Kareah in the Crusader system.

CrimeStat erasure
Warning: The following actions are illegal.

In order to rid oneself of CrimeStat, a Cryptokey is necessary. With this, go to Security Post Kareah, and access the main terminal there. Note, there will be both NPC guards and AA turrets defending the station. Now you just have to wait for a small duration and access the terminal from time to time as the erasure process takes place, and your criminal past is history.

The UEE has a statute of limitations of 123 days.
