Which laws apply to everybody, including public officers?

The State Penal Code Provisions apply to everyone, including public officers. These laws are designed to maintain public order and safety, outlining prohibited behaviors and the penalties for violations. They establish a legal framework that governs criminal conduct and is applicable to all individuals within the jurisdiction, meaning that public officers are not exempt from adhering to these laws.

In contrast, State Tort Law generally deals with civil wrongs and liability that might arise between private parties, which may not necessarily apply universally to all public officers in the same way as criminal laws do. Civil Liabilities pertain to obligations imposed on individuals or entities when they cause harm to another party, typically in civil court, without bearing the same universal applicability as the penal code. Administrative liabilities, on the other hand, are specific to the conduct of public officials within their administrative roles and often pertain to internal regulations or agency-specific rules rather than a universal application of law.
