Bringing back old rules

[Cruel Cooking Chef Curry Alterlis]

My opinion?

No drive-by as copper.
No civilian cars as copper.
Only use the weapons you are issued with as copper. (Nitestick, Deagle, Shotgun, Pepperspray (remove the MP5))

That's what I would like. I would also like a friendlier atmosphere and more teamwork. A more organized ARPD. But not too many regulations like the era when we couldn't go outside city limits and such...

Just... Cops as cops "should" be...

And how are we supposed to deal with suspects in Infernuses and cars packed with DBing criminals?

My oponion
Make server rules, of no drive-bying suspect, unless commit "heavy" crime such as Serial Murder or Drug Dealing, not evading traffic stop or $50 ticket fine, and DBing

[Thomas_Crof]

1. No drive-by allowed on suspects car unless it's faster than what you are driving. UNLESS fired upon from the evading vehicle.
-Will force officers to actualy learn how to drive properly..

2. No heavy weapons usage on unarmed/lightly armed suspects.
-More fair play for suspects

No civilian cars as copper.

My favorite pack of rules.

[Sago]

No civilian cars as copper.

I remember getting yelled at for that. 

[tiderman]

1. No drive-by allowed on suspects car unless it's faster than what you are driving.
-Will force officers to actualy learn how to drive properly..

BUT THAT WILL PUT ME OUT OF MY JOB!

Seriously though, agreed to both.

However, when a slow car has 3 blokes that are shooting at you, I return fire.

No drive-by as copper.
No civilian cars as copper.
Only use the weapons you are issued with as copper. (Nitestick, Deagle, Shotgun, Pepperspray (remove the MP5))

OI! You mad.

Yes, sir. If anyone disagrees with me I will smack them in the head with a baseball bat.

Don't take it literally...anymore. What I'm saying is we should "reform" and "encourage" people to.. uhh... be cops. For real.

I actually agree with this, would be cool to stop seeing patrol cops with combat shotties.
At least SWAT would still be able to blast criminals with SMGs

Train of thought moving forward: Actually, if cops were only able to use 'light' weapons there might be a bigger need for SWAT, most of the times we just cruise around town and get bored at absolutely nothing going on.

Seeing as you all have so many ideas ( ) I'd appreciate if someone could make a list of all the ones you people have suggested, and make a post if you have a suggestion of something you'd like to see. (Of course, not one that someone already posted pwease)

[Billy_Duke]

Same thing as JCstodds said,USE COMMON SENSE.

[Joseph_Allen]

I'd like to hear people's opinions on this matter, in the old days there were rules that balanced out the play with Cops and Suspects.

Here are two of those -I- personaly would like to see come back:

1. No drive-by allowed on suspects car unless it's faster than what you are driving.
-Will force officers to actualy learn how to drive properly..

2. No heavy weapons usage on unarmed/lightly armed suspects.
-More fair play for suspects

We're all here to have fun, just as the criminals are.

Opinions?

I agree. Although if it were me I'd ban the usage of sports cars. Those things are a pain in the ass to chase and we don't always have the luxury of a Pursuit Vehicle.

I hope this helps;

Thomas_C:

rape

Since when is rape a serious offense?

[Thomas_Crof]

rape

Since when is rape a serious offense?

Well... It IS a serious offence, but we make exceptions for you. Just remember, no more than 4 rapes a week!

[Jcstodds]

I could list all of my arguements against the above. (I have listed some points which were ignored anyway). But I do not want to offend other's intelligence by doing so.

Common sense does not work on Argonath, dear Jcstodds

True, i see cops jailing for 180 seconds because the criminal pee'd on public 

[tiderman]

I still stand by the no drive-by thing and the use issued weapons thing too (unless there is some serious organized crime going down, like a kidnap)...

But I think people should be able to use their own cars (like a black premier or buffalo) but no pink infernuses, sandkings or dumpers... Like... You would have to go through some kind of examination of your car before you can use it on duty... Apply... No, f**k it, I don't even know. I just don't like the pink infernuses or the NRGs. Dot.

  Well I get by somehow. Of course not all possess this almighty power 

  However I at least expect all SAPD Officers to have some, and so I thought by saying this it would be relevant and understood. 

[Bert]

What is this common sense you talking about?

[Jcstodds]

What is this common sense you talking about?

  It's like magic. But also, doing the obvious thing for sensible reasons.

[Joseph_Allen]

What is this common sense you talking about?

Common sense is not so common my friend.

Also it is the duty of the wise to point out once more the obvious to the people.

I agree with the usage of heavy firearms only on similarly armed targets. And the drive-by on faster vehicles only policy.

As for the ''Don't shoot running suspects, only chase them. Open fire if they get in a vehicle'' policy. It's their prerogative, when we shout ''STOP OR WE WILL USE FORCE'' they should know by know that they're gonna be shot at. It's their funeral. I've had a few experiences like this as a criminal, I don't moan much. [Well, except when they repeatedly shoot me, while standing, and unarmed.......]

Like all things, even the best laid rules/ plans will go awry. That's the human factor for you. For me, if you want to implement rules that'll improve our RP, best make sure all of the people under your command WILL follow it lest your planning will go to waste.

[GiacJr]

I still follow those old rules, increases RP a lot and is more of a challenge
