The Daily Prophet. Twenty-fifth of June, 1996. Front page.
Wide spanning law passed to combat criminals!
In an never before seen zeal against criminals it has been decided that every and all citizens of the British Wizarding World over the age of fifteen will be questioned under the influence of Verita Serum to find and punish all criminals. All criminal acts will be punished with stays in Azkaban, the length of the incarceration will be decided by a unique magical artifact, the Goblet of Fire. The trials will be conducted like this;
First the person to be questioned is given three drops of the Verita Serum, then he is lead into a chamber when he is asked a couple of pre written questions to determine the persons guilt. Then the testimony (that is recorded by a self writing quill) will be put into the Goblet of Fire and the paper that is regurgitated will be showing the amount of time, if any, to spend at the prison island of Azkaban.
We here at the Daily Prophet would like to commend the people of the Ministry of Magic that has come up with this great new law to make the streets safer for us and our children.
