[Francisco Martinez]

Reckless, wreckless means without reck

[Allison]

I'm sorry. Can someone merge this please?

If not, you can lock it and I'll rewrite...

Merged, no need to worry about it now.

[Jake Parker]

Good evening everyone.

These weeks i've been struggling with myself about the fact of the Regular equipment. (Standart duty weapons of a Officer.

My problem is mostly we are equiping ourselfs with a drive-by weapon to Ensure we can take lead in persuit if needed on faster vehicles. Sometimes if we do not use the SMG that much or don't die the time we are arresting criminals everyone will face the fact LACK of spraycan. ofcourse we do have the /rearm command inside LSPD but this will reset your whole equipment included your SMG or drive-by weapon. My question to the people who are discussing these kind of things is there a way to make a solution that we can rearm one part of the equipment like /rearm spray (ammount of spray)? it's just an idea as it is pretty anoying sometimes the ammount of a spraycan is quite low to be honnest. I'd like to here your opinions or answers.

I believe you can "/weaponequip [name] pepper 500" inside the equipment room, no?

[Jake Parker]

I've been testing this inside the equipment room but this is not an option. These rights have the Supervisory sergeants+ only is there an option to get this to the Lower ranked too for only the standart equipment? and only for yourself to avoid abuses?

That would have to be scripted and knowing how the current fixing is going, it will take quite a while before the scripters get around these kinda minor changes, best solution at this point is to request it from the active patrol sergeants, that are leading the units IG. I don't think they will have issue providing you with additional standard gear, especially if its nesscery.

[Jake Parker]

Alright thank you.

[Khm]

Regarding this, what will happen with all the "Roberts" and their badges? How could they use their badges IG?

What do you mean?
If an officer leaves SAPD, then the badge number still stays with him and he can use it at another time.

[Spike]

I mean my previous badge number was "101" and it's now taken what should I use ?

[Khm]

Same here, my badge number 108 is taken now, how can i use it...?

[Plam Knight]

Just hold up until Rusty responds

[Rusty.]

All Officers who left can forward me a PM for re-assigned badge number if you are no longer within SAPD as an enlisted Officer.

I wish to suggest that tickets are extended from 250$ to 800$ max.
Honestly, it's so annoying that in Argonath people do not follow traffic laws at all, if it was written that LEFT is the correct side of road, they would use RIGHT.
Then, I suggest that driving licenses can be revoked for certain amount of time, for example - 7 days. And in that time, the person is unable to use vehicles. Pretty brutal right?
But all of this is to make the traffic behavior in Argonath SAMP better and that we have 70-80% following laws rather than 2%.

And I don't really care for money that much, if some would think that 800$ is money-hunger, I'd be happy if it was made that 90% of the ticket's amount goes to argo bank.

I aswell suggest that police duty can be joined only by people with passport and license. To reduce amount of new players joining the duty and roaming around, suspecting everybody for various invalid reasons.

Talking on behalf of San Fierro Driving School. Should the driving licenses be suspended by the driving school? Police tells Examiners+ about player who violated traffic rules, and there should be a command such as /sustainlicense (ID) (days). /groupmembers SFDS for more info about our ranks

[Matthew Carter]

Well I've seen in alot of countries the officers suspend the license for certain amount of time. However, I don't either see a point of driving school or a driving license if traffic laws won't be followed by anybody..

[Castiel]

Actually extending tickets is not necessary for just breaking traffic rules, although you can charge them for extra money for reasons like damaging public property etc.
Cancenling of there license also won't do anything better and tbh 95% of people on server don't give importance to traffic rules and even some cops don't follow it, so what can you expect from new players.

I liked this part 

[Rusty.]

Traffic laws are pretty much non-existent no-one including cops follow them, cops just make it look like they are enforcing them when they see someone speeding and all that.  In my seven years here I've never seen one person have their drivers license suspended by anyone, it just doesn't happen.  To further this there is no real topic that states every single traffic law on Argonath SA:MP.

As for raising citation fee's sure we can look into that I'll pass it to our Commissioner and see what he think's about it.

[SkyHawk]

If you want to have the ability to suspend licenses, you mine as well extend the system to members of the SAPD. There's an easy and obvious fight that could be brought through a civil suit against the SAPD as the majority of our force speeds. There isn't anyway around it, people simply don't follow the rules. I like the idea, if it is enforced equally however. I would also suggest making the command to revoke licenses available to members of driving schools as well as Sergeants and above from the SAPD.

I like the idea of increasing traffic citations, I believe imposing stricter fines will help reduce the amount of traffic stops daily if you start cutting into individuals profits. I also think SAPD should re-evaluate their enforcement of traffic violations imposing stricter penalities on their own officers such as suspensions, fines, and even possible termination after repeat offenses. If you really want to regulate the traffic enforcement you need to crack down on it aggressively.

[Matthew Carter]

I fully agree with what you said. Specially the part about police not following the laws they should be enforcing.
