Uncivil Rights is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the one-hundred third case of the game and the forty-seventh case of Pacific Bay. It is the second case to take place in Innovation Valley, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot

After Mayor Annette Arbor started giving rights to the sentient robots, putting the work of humans in jeopardy, Andrea asked Frank and the player to patrol the robot graveyard for signs of unrest. There, they found the Mayor crushed into a cube.

Mid-investigation, the team had to stop a riot at the Anti-Robot League headquarters. Moreover, Colbie Arbor, the Mayor's daughter, decided to dismantle all the robots. The team found enough evidence to arrest an unemployed mechanic called Larry Newark for the murder.

Larry denied the accusations but then admitted to the crime. After losing his job to a robot, he then joined the Anti-Robot League to make Annette change her mind but the organization did nothing. Angry, he knocked the Mayor out with a robotic arm and crushed her like a robot with a car crusher, hoping that Howard Boehner would replace her and defend humans' rights. Originally sentencing him to 25 years in jail, Judge Dante increased the sentence to 40 years per Larry's request.

Post-trial, Frank and the player went to the A.R.L. headquarters to prevent more riots, and found (per Russell) Colbie's diary. When interrogated, Colbie said that her mother would replace every person in Innovation Valley with robots, and pointed them to her office. They found a contract where Meteor Systems offered the Mayor a significant number of robots for menial duties. Since she wrote the contract, the team interrogated Karen Knight, Frank's ex-wife, who claimed that the robots would not cause any harm.

After Hannah and the player helped Sunny, the robot, retrieve his plant friend, the team decided to dig deeper into Meteor Systems to prevent their robots from turning against humanity.

 ==Plot==
+After Mayor [[Annette Arbor]] started giving rights to the sentient robots, putting the work of humans in jeopardy, [[Andrea Marquez|Andrea]] asked [[Frank Knight|Frank]] and the player to patrol the robot graveyard for signs of unrest. There, they found the Mayor crushed into a cube.
-[[Frank Knight]] was shocked about [[Amy Young]] and the player arresting [[Per-Sephone]] [[Smart Money|previously]] in which [[Edward Dante|Judge Dante]] ordered the robot to be turned off and under custody of the city of [[Pacific Bay]] as he had fears that robots would take over the world one day. [[Hannah Choi]] informed Frank and the player about Innovation Valley Mayor [[Annette Arbor]] being re-elected in which she opted to enact a law which gives robots equal rights to the level of humans, a feat [[Andrea Marquez|Chief Marquez]] said it was true, robots taking jobs from humans.
-Ordered to patrol the Android Graveyard (in which Chief Marquez suspects trouble will loom), Frank and the player went there only to find Mayor Arbor turned into a cube by a car crusher. The Mayor was sent to [[Roxie Sparks]] for autopsy to launch another murder investigation which leads them to Mayor Arbor's office and even the Anti-Robot League office, where anti-robot unrest took place. In spite of the unrest by the Anti-Robot League, the player gathered enough [[Killer's Profile|evidence]] to arrest an unemployed mechanic named [[Larry Newark]] for compacting the mayor to death.
+Mid-investigation, the team had to stop a riot at the Anti-Robot League headquarters. Moreover, [[Colbie Arbor]], the Mayor's daughter, decided to dismantle all the robots. The team found enough evidence to arrest an unemployed mechanic called [[Larry Newark]] for the murder.
+Larry denied the accusations but then admitted to the crime. After losing his job to a robot, he then joined the Anti-Robot League to make Annette change her mind but the organization did nothing. Angry, he knocked the Mayor out with a robotic arm and crushed her like a robot with a car crusher, hoping that [[Howard Boehner]] would replace her and defend humans' rights. Originally sentencing him to 25 years in jail, [[Judge Dante]] increased the sentence to 40 years per Larry's request.
-Mayor Arbor promised Larry a job to bail him out of unemployment, but her procrastination angered the mechanic as he expected promptness in his living situation. Larry tried to defend himself by claiming he never touched the Mayor, but Hannah was too good for Larry to defend himself. Confessing that he killed Mayor Arbor, he hated the fact that Mayor Arbor planned to have robots become citizens in which he believed was the last straw for the humans of Innovation Valley, as the Robot Act will only force humans out of the job and to allow robots the benefit of a doubt. Larry joined the Anti-Robot League to plead with Mayor Arbor to stand down on her pro-robot endeavor politically but the ARL virtually did nothing, so he had to do something to ensure Mayor Arbor was not ruining the lives of the humans--Larry grabbed a robotic arm, knocked Mayor Arbor down with it, fed the Mayor to the car crusher, and allowed the compactor to do the fatal job. Frank was sick and disgusted about Larry's choice of bloodshed, so the player shipped the unemployed mechanic to trial.
+Post-trial, Frank and the player went to the A.R.L. headquarters to prevent more riots, and found (per [[Russell Crane|Russell]]) Colbie's diary. When interrogated, Colbie said that her mother would replace every person in Innovation Valley with robots, and pointed them to her office. They found a contract where [[Meteor Systems]] offered the Mayor a significant number of robots for menial duties. Since she wrote the contract, the team interrogated [[Karen Knight]], Frank's ex-wife, who claimed that the robots would not cause any harm.
-[[Edward Dante|Judge Dante]] was curious as to why Larry killed Annette, in which he proclaimed that humans could not kill other humans as all humans have reason. Judge Dante did not want to talk anymore, so originally he sentenced Larry to 25 years in prison, but increased it to 40 years at Larry's request.
+After [[Hannah Choi|Hannah]] and the player helped [[Sunny]], the robot, retrieve his plant friend, the team decided to dig deeper into Meteor Systems to prevent their robots from turning against humanity.
-Hours following the indictment, [[Colbie Arbor]] quizzed the team as to why they are divided as far as humans and robots were concerned much to her fears that the [[Pacific Bay Police Department]] did not care at all. Frank grilled ex-wife [[Karen Knight]] about Meteor Systems' slew of robots, harboring fears that those robots from [[Meteor Systems]] will dominate the population of Innovation Valley one day.
