Chakotay facing jail time?

Tessa was his parole officer.

She is still fudging the paper work on his community service hours in Timeless, while this titanic trio is trying to crack time travel and destroy the universe... Which may be why the episode is called Timeless, because Chuckles is not doing his mandated hours.

Do we ever see his ankle, probably wearing a monitor, like in Non Sequitur.
 
So I'm sure we've all heard about the 'Court Martial of Captain Kathryn Janeway' but what about Chakotay and his Maquis crew?
Let us consider.
The Val Jean contained at least one homocidal psychopath, Suder, at least one person who joined to kill as many Cardassians as possible, Dalby and one person who reprogrammed a weapon of mass destruction to attack a fuel depot that had a similar population size to Rakosa V, B'Elanna Torres.
We also have two spies on board, Seska and Tuvok, so both the Federation and the Cardassians were willing to expend time, effort and resources to track the Val Jean's activities.
What can we draw from this? Clearly Chakotay's crew posed a serious threat, responsible for numerous mass murders.
Trump 2020. The democrat are trying to destroy this great country
 
It didn't appear on screen therefore it's not actually canon.
Since we never saw them coming home to Earth on screen, then we must assume that they never came home. They are stuck in the Delta Quadrant for eternity. ;)

Honestly, I still see no reason for the authorities to punish Chakotay and the other Maquis members after their seven years of splendid work to take Voyager home.

You must not have watched the end of the last episode. They made it to the alpha quadrant

No one negotiated any quid pro quo before hand.

A drifter knocks on your door and offers to mow your lawn.

She does.

It's a good job, she did fine.

You're happy.

Which is when she demands $300 for services rendered.

Chakotay did not ask to be tried in court on Voyager to be found innocent or have a guilty conviction commuted, or try to have the charges against him dismissed, and Kathy did not offer.

Chakotay believes he didn't do anything wrong, so he didn't have to believe in or accept Federation law inside this narrow situation.
 
I don't know but since Chakotay was reinstated as a Starfleet Officer wouldn't that complicate things? I mean Tom was also given leeway, in fact Janeway sought him out. I wonder if just by holding a Starfleet rank again if that would be pre-emptive to any penalty.

I don't believe chakotay was ever made a full officer. Him and the other maquis were always wearing provisional rank insignias
 
We condemn the activities of an organization (moral condemnation) but pursue and punish its members (legal sentence) so, at the end, it serve the same purpose: to get rid of it., right?! :whistle:



Well, if there was really no charge pending against any members of the Val Jean's crew, I don't think that the Federation - via its armed component = Starfleet - would have deployed as means to trace them (sending a spy, Tuvok, then a vessel, Voyager, an Intrepid-class starship, just out of the factory), to track down a Maquis ship in the Badlands. Plus, I remind you that as well Tom Paris as some Chakotay and B'Elena's knowledges still alive, found themselves in penal colonies and prisons of the Federation after being caught for their implications in the Maquis (cf to Caretaker & Hunters). So no, serious charges existed and according to some declarations from Starfleet Command in s5 or 6 via a video message, Janeway will be challenged to make her friends being out of the woods, even partially! Indeed, although admirals know perfectly the situation: that Janeway was forced to include Val Jean's rebels among her own crew and that thaks to their active collaboration, Voyager still flies), they still consider Chakotay and his friends as Maquis with all that implies. What isn't a good sign. In short! :shrug:
Tuvok could have been sent undercover specifically to learn if Chakotay or his crew were committing crimes inside the Federation.
Voyager was sent because Tuvok stopped checking in, and was only tasked with recovering Tuvok.

Tuvok was assigned to collect information and then to have them captured.

From Caretaker...
TUVOK: I must inform you that I was assigned to infiltrate your crew, sir. I am Captain Janeway's Chief of Security.
CHAKOTAY: Were you going to deliver us into their waiting hands, Vulcan?
TUVOK: My mission was to accumulate information on Maquis activities, and then deliver you into their waiting hands. That is correct.
 
Captured?

Then what the #### were those two tricolbot devices for?

Janeway's psyche eval almost certainly says that she will use a WMD against an entire planet to strike one person.

In order to justify his position of XO towards other Starfleet officers the time that the journey would last in DQ, Janeway has re-installed, of her own making-decision, Chakotay in his former rank BUT there was no question ever that the situatiion be formal and permanent. First because, she had no power to do it (only Starfleet can formally valid Janeway's decision and it is clear, according to what we know that, the Command would have never shared the same position and strongly disagreed with decisions concercerning them) and second because, Chaokotay resigned from Starfleet to join the Maquis, lost all his accreditations .

Result: back at least, in AQ, he would lost as well the provisional rank as privileges he has enjoyed for 7 years, granted by Janeway, And he could only rely on Janeway's strong support not to face jail or exil.

You're right, what the Dixon Hill was Janeway doing with those tricobalt torpedoes?
Does go along with my theory that Chakotay and co were into some seriously shady stuff if Janeway considered 2 Starfleet nukes were required to go after the Val Jean.
