In 2022, the 28th Amendment to the U. S Constitution is ratified. This amendment establishes a 12-hour event known as "The Purge" which would take place from 7 PM on March 21 to 7 AM on March 22 wherein all crime becomes legal.
The rules for the annual Purge are as follows:
Sirens blare throughout the land to signal the start and end of The Purge.
All police, fire, and medical emergency services remain unavailable or suspended for the full 12-hour Purge.
The president, first family, and government officials of rank 10, are granted immunity (revoked in Election Year to legalize the murder of a political opponent).
Only "Class 1-4" weaponry shall be permitted, while Class 5 weaponry (such as explosives) is prohibited.
Violations of any Purge rules will result in death by public hanging.
Below is how the Emergency Broadcast System announces the Purge' commencement in the first two films:
This is not a test.
This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge sanctioned by the U. S. Government. Weapons of class 4 and lower have been authorized for use during the Purge. All other weapons are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning at 7 a. m., when The Purge concludes. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn.
May God be with you all.
