 Item number SCP-1434 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-1434 is held in a standard containment cell, empty safe for a blank book labeled Charter for Aetna, and a copy of the Federal Criminal Code and Rules. Records of the state of Nevada have been altered to register the 25 square meters of the cell as the unincorporated township of Aetna, now abandoned. Second containment procedures were devised to forestall the transfer of SCP-1434's effect to larger cities or counties. A fresh copy of the FCC and R should be placed next to the SCP monthly, while the previous month's copy should be incinerated unread. All security personnel assigned to Site-47 are subject to annual participation in Foundation Standard Seminar, the application of force and arrest in you. This is in addition to all other regulation orientation and training sessions. Description SCP-1434 is a large fragment of extruded clay brick, dull red in color, which while totally inert somehow affects the insertion of increasingly bizarre and impractical laws into the legal code of the nearest sufficiently small municipality. Where borders overlap, SCP-1434 has always shown preference for the smaller body. Other legislators show no memory of instituting any such laws, but will enforce them without protest. During the early phase of the brick's influence, governments have been observed to pass laws of extremely limited applicability, such as a ban on smoking on Tuesdays. However, as the infection progresses, the activities prescribed in this manner become increasingly inoculus, while the penalties grow increasingly severe to the point of life-threatening. SCP-1434 further affects local law enforcement who develop progressively violent mentalities over time. These mental alterations do not linger after SCP-1434's relocation. Officers with more than six months of exposure compulsively apply excessive, often lethal force to any and all they suspect of transgressions. Incident Log Since recovery, investigations of several public disturbances have recovered other SCP-1434 fragments of varying size. Unrest is believed to have been subsided when a party or party's unknown removed the object from the municipality. The object's whereabouts between incidents is as yet unknown, though research is continuing. Any outbreaks of police violence linked to recently introduced legislation should be studied for signs of object influence by the appropriate mobile task force. Case 001, December 18, 1987 Montgomery County and Maryland outlaws the use of shrimp and clearing snow from highways. Six injured and collision with state-operated snowplows. Case 004, January 24, 1992 City of ██████████ makes the wearing a contact lenses compulsory for all residents who died between 1947 and 1962.
