San Andreas Police Department | Q&A

I know that spikes can for sure be added, but in VC:MP, criminals are able to buy them which I think isnt a good idea. If its added, i think only cops should be able to have it

This would cause the biggest shit storm for the criminal community. They already defy every ounce of power we have as officers of the law.


On another note, could someone in a considerable command position please clarify the suspection of firemen killing other firemen during a mission.

Earlier on, I read that an unsuspection is not allowed and the firemen must be charged for murder. But when discussing this in mainchat serverside I encountered considerable aggression from others who would otherwise unsuspect these people immediately.

[Rusty.]

Some would like to see spike strips added but as Sushi mentioned criminals already undermine the "advantages" we have.
Though with good communication and teamwork you can easily stop someone in a faster car.

[Sushi]

Mhmm, if you check the main forums, they would like to take away a lot of what we have. Although RON won't allow it because he stated that he wouldn't allow any further disadvantage of the police force. The only thing is, when the server is quiet you have a lot of highway suspects (Fast car + highway) and you don't always have your full team if anyone at all.

With a two man team, two or three cruisers even you can even more easily disable a faster then your cruiser vehicle with spikes.

Not to mention, even with a bigger team then you can half a dangerous high speed pursuit even faster then normal and possibly save lives.

If a fireman accidentally kills another fireman (and you witnessed this) you could simply reason that he died in the fire.

  Just make sure firemen aren't killing each other so they get more cash.

Why?

My idea exactly.

[Oliver Daniels]

Why?

Because SAMP isn't real life.

[Sushi]

Just wondering, what kind of policy does the SAPD have about applying for the FBI whilst still a member of the force?

[Janar]

Is it allowed to jail suspect for 15 seconds and give him back the money he lost(200 dollars), to unsuspect him, if no admins online?
I heard somewhere, that it could be script abuse.

Yes it is abuse, but if there is no one that could unsuspect, u are allowed do that.

Jailing for 15 seconds is always allowed, but you can -never- give the criminal back his money since you still end up with $1300 and that can be considered money cheating.

What if it is an arbitrary gift?

You could always just jail someone and give them the cash back they lost if it's clearly abuse and you don't feel like waiting 45 minutes for an unsuspect.. just be prepared to explain yourself if someone asks.

And prepare to face the banhammer from an admin that tends to jump the gun.

If nobody to unsus then who copbanned you?

Sarge+ or level 3 admin+ can copban and both of them can unsu too...

  For fast response from admins, try to tell them directly and politely and you have higher chances of them helping you more quickly.

Bad example: (what I get a lot)
Pm to admin: hello
Pm to admin: admin
Pm to admin: Jcs
Pm from Jcstodds: hello?
Pm to admin: unsu id 13
Pm from Jcstodds: reason?
**Jcstodds gets distracted helping another person out of the hundred online**
Pm to admin: investigated
Pm from Jcstodds: what?
Pm from Jcstodds: Ah, so he is innocent? Or lack of evidence?
Pm to admin: innocent


Good way
Pm to admin: Please unsu id as he was investigated, found innocent
(If no reply within 1 min, assume it has been missed)
Pm to admin: Please unsu id as he was investigated, found innocent
Pm from Jcstodds: done

I've saw the crime, but suspect wants investigation. Admin arraives. Admin says that i'll have to, but ARPD statement says that not, since i've saw the crime. What to do? Investigate, keep saying that i dont have to or get banned? :S

[Leroy Hudson]

Investigation - a searching inquiry for ascertaining facts; detailed or careful examination.

If you've already saw the fact of crime, there is no need to investigate. If you've seen with your own eyes that it was valid, why try prove validity or not again?
