In some cases, as soon as the police find the criminal, he or she is executed right then and there.
If police find a Human, they are marked by a black "X" drawn on their right hand. In cases where a Human has had facial contact with a non-Human, the police will increase there scans. If it turns out the Human is a Human, they are marked by an "X" and recieve compensation for the trouble.
