They've been severely nerfed in more recent builds. Reporters and similar news agents were this as sleepers in old builds of the game getting a few news-oriented sleepers was almost an Instant-Win Condition.You can use this to get out of nearly any high-security area without trouble. This would be glaring enough, but cops- who usually take the hostage away in exchange for (temporary) freedom- will also go in for this, but with your 'hostage' remaining with you. Game-Breaker: If one is hauling a liberal, they can threaten them as a hostage.And of course, you'll find them at high-security areas, so you'll have agents or tanks after you depending on your location. Their ability to notice stealthy characters is above anything else's (with 10 stealth skill, you have a just above 9% chance not to be noticed if you're alone), which makes a stealth run that much more harder than necessary. CCS Bosses themselves also pack Heavy Ceramic Armor(making them near-impossible to kill even with a 6 man squad concentrating their fire) and an AA-12 Shotgun that can hit twice compared to regular shotguns, easily capable of killing a Liberal.Finally, the Conservative Crime Squad will never let up their attack efforts once they discover your safehouses, continuing monthly sieges until either the LCS or CCS is destroyed. Thankfully, however, you can shoot them first before they attack, or just plain kidnap them if you've got a gun, since Arch-Conservatives must be unarmed to attack psychologically. If your Liberal hits below -50 Juice due to this? They become a Conservative themselves. Their psych attacks are not only very difficult to resist, but can take hundreds of juice away from a liberal and leave them unable to attack should one succeed. Possibly worse are the Arch-Conservatives, who attack psychologically rather than physically. Demonic Spiders: Any firearm wielding (and likely armored) Conservative can, if the RNG is particularly unkind, instantly kill one of your Liberals.

Crosses the Line Twice: LCS attempts to satirize terrorism, to the point of inserting humorous elements into the torture-and-brainwash minigame.
