⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Clarify external reference to weight limits.

The description references "legal weight limits as officially posted by BCSO Wildlife: Fish & Game" without specifying where these limits are published or how they can be accessed. This creates ambiguity in enforcement, as the statute's applicability depends on external documentation that may not be readily available to those subject to the law.

Consider either:

  • Including the weight limits directly in the statute description
  • Adding a specific reference (e.g., "as defined in Section X" or "available at [specific location/URL]")
  • Referencing a separate regulations document that's maintained alongside the penal code
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In penal-code.ts around lines 1519 to 1521, the description references "legal
weight limits as officially posted by BCSO Wildlife: Fish & Game" without a
specific source, which creates ambiguity; update the text to either include the
relevant weight limits directly, or add a precise citation to where they are
published (e.g., a section number, title of the regulations document, or a
stable URL) or reference a companion regulations document maintained with the
code; ensure the chosen approach is consistently worded (e.g., "as defined in
Section X of the BCSO Wildlife Regulations" or "available at https://...") so
enforcement and readers can unambiguously locate the limits.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Clarify what constitutes "per violation."

The description ends with "per violation" but doesn't clearly define the scope of a single violation. Is it per fish, per fishing trip, per species, or per prohibited activity? This ambiguity could lead to inconsistent enforcement.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In penal-code.ts around lines 1519 to 1521, the phrase "per violation" is
ambiguous; update the description to explicitly define what constitutes a single
violation (for example: "each individual fish", "each species per incident", or
"per fishing trip/transport event") and state which metric applies to prohibited
weight/species infractions and to possession/transport/sale violations; revise
the sentence to name the chosen unit(s) (e.g., "Each illegally possessed fish
constitutes one violation" or "Each distinct incident/transport constitutes one
violation") so enforcement and penalties are unambiguous.
