Question: I see one or More Officers on Duty, Off Roading and driving off cliff's etc. Which if a civilian did it would be reckless driving(IE Driving off the Ledge at the LS-SF Tunnel, heading to LS). Is this allowed, for officers to drive recklessly at random(w/o sirens) or is it not allowed.

No, Police can not break the laws just because they are the ones enforcing them.
The only time Police are Permitted to Drive without following some traffic laws is during a Code 2 or Code 3 Response.

You should ask them why they are doing that. Maybe they have good reason for that. If not, tell them to stop it. If they keep doing that report them to the command staff.

This is why freecops are c00ler.

Maybe they are DPD Officers.

  Off-roading is a sport and should be encouraged by country police!

Sort of incorrect.. Driving off road for all I know isn't applicable to the vehicle code. You can drive through the desert or forest however you want, because it's not going to effect anyone else.

[Boozman]

Well, I meant if someone swerves off road during a patrol and starts doing flips and stuff.
But if their cruising in Bone County, then yeah that seems fine.

Police are not above the law, why would it be allowed?

[JDC]

driving off cliff's etc.

Suicidal much?

[Xander]

driving off cliff's etc.

Suicidal much?

I believe i have screen shots of officers doing this :P. Recently.

[Bert]

Stick more to DPD areas and you will see a lot of officers doing that

[Janar]

I have been doing some stunts if I had free time.

[Xander]

Im back again, another question. Jimmy said in the other topic which has heated debate that it is against SAPD regulations to not /s3 before firing at a suspect. Is this true if the suspect is shooting at the cop? Does the Officer need to say /s3 before firing back? Ive seen controversy about this in Public recently. Figured i would ask and have a direct answer so i can just direct the cops to the topic for correct answers. Thanks for your time.

[Janar]

If somebody's life is in direct danger, no warning is needed to shoot.
If suspect is running, warning must be shouted and then officer is allowed to shoot.
Direct quote from the laws:

When the police officer is allowed to use guns:

 
 1) If someone's life, or your (the police officer) life is in direct danger, the police Officer is allowed to open fire without any warning.

   (No matter if the suspect is unarmed; the officer can open fire at him)

 2) When the suspect is escaping from a police officer, the officer is allowed to use their gun,  after warning him "stop or i shoot".

Armed Civilians, Corrupt Freecops and Surrendered Suspects

Civilians
I am forced to fire at armed civilians when they are protecting a wanted suspect.
I do not have a chance to issue a warrant due to being underfire. I feel it's unfair
I am fined for killing a civilian dispite him clearly firing at weapon at me.

Freecops
Whether it be by Accident, or by Abusive Players, I am fined again for killing a Freecop.
Yesterday, A Freecop was issued a warrant for firing on a crowd, then shot and killed.
Later, I was underfire myself from a Freecop and was forced to fire back, killing him.

Suepects
This is another strange problem. Some Criminals will shoot and kill cops and only surrender when near death.
Once Cuffed, They are Free to punch and attack cops again forcing them to defend themselves and
kill the suspect. Again, Even though in defence, Cops are fined for killing a surrendered suspect.

I wanna know what your take on these subjects are and what your suggestions could be to prevent these problems.

Directed to the command staff of LSPD

Subject: Designated patrolling areas



To whom it may concern,

    While patrolling in Los Santos over the past few weeks, I have noticed a growing number of citizens moving to the city. While I find this to be good not only for the cities appeal, but also for the economy of Los Santos. With more people means more money to help with repairing roads and the construction of new houses and small business'. The down side to more people though, is that the crime rate will rise. I have noticed that the main areas of patrolling have been the GS9/Idlewood area, Pershing Square, and surrounding areas. I belive that it may be benificial not only to the citizens of Argonath but also for the officers to have designated areas that they patrol. As an example, I would be assigned the area of Market, throughout my time on duty, my main area of concern would be to make sure the Market area of Los Santos is free of any criminal activity I may come across. That is not to say that if you are designated to an area, such as Market, and a code 30 is called out in Idlewood, that you are not obligated to respond. It will help divide the policing force up among the city resulting in more coverage of the area, ultimately resulting in a cleaner, nicer, and criminal free city. Thank you for your time.

Well, I'm very upset by the fact that criminal organisation members can be part of SAPD, as I've noticed that people are leaking information, and it's harder for SAPD to keep the criminal activity under control, criminal-officers they spare their own members, giving them less jail time etc, not all but some of them. They can stay as freecops, that's fine . That's only my opinion though.

If you are with ARPD, then you are with ARPD...

The rules should be tightened up.

Well, One ya that's abuse if you are in a gang and go on duty to jail a fellow gang member for 15 seconds. That's just straight up abuse ((Script abuse?)) but, We don't let gang members be part of command staff so information cant be leaked. Also most gang members get into ARPD then get fired because of inactivity. Recently because of abuse the whole Gvardia gang has been Cop banned.

I understand where you're coming from, but the last time this was made a rule, the SAPD imploded and the criminal groups begun walking all over them.
Criminals make excellent cops.
