Since I'm playing and being in Police Academy for a couple months
I have seen a lot of freecop/cadet/officer and above+ didn't using siren correctly
this is siren usage what's police IRL do:
-Code 3, light and sound. can drive over speed limit
-Code 2, light (but SAMP have no this function, so we don't turn on siren) can't drive over speed limit
-Pulling over, light or light and sound, following that car, hold h for secondary sound to tell them to stop, or shout megaphone
-Traffic rules breaker, such as blocking the road, stop middle of the road, etc. U have to shout megaphone, horning or turn on siren with light only if they not responding, after warned 3 times, u can suspect them and continue pursuit
-Suspect detained, back to code 4, u don't turn on siren with sound (only light - SAMP have no this function, we don't press h) can't drive over speed limit, u have to turn off siren and drive normally when u getting back to PD
-Setting up roadblock, u have to turn on siren to tell other know that's roadblock ahead, so if u turn off ppl will not think it's abandoned cruiser blocking the street and drive pass
-Kidnapping operation, robbery operation, when blocking area around operation's place, u have to turn on siren, if the operation is taking too long, like 1 or 2 days (IRL - maybe 5-6 hours InGame?) u can turn it off
I've seen a lot of cop turn on siren and rushing to PD when the suspect is detained
so I'm telling everyone to stop doing that, coz it's can be abusing siren usage
-Thx.
