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

SAPD*

[[Rstar]Vince]

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.

Yeah, like who?

There's a reason we give criminals the ability to join the SAPD, that's because we're giving them the opportunity to distinguish between characters.. Panda is right, criminals can be awesome cops when the want to be.

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.

They can be freecops.

Yes they can, but they still aren't in the actual ARPD.
Criminals aren't just good "/duty cops" they are good police players too. They have good opinions on matters, and good intel to be honest. It wasn't just the best combatants that were kicked from SAPD when Luca messed it up, it was some of the best strategists too. How can you be expected to theorise against criminals if you have no intel on their actions?

[JDC]

I do agree with Panda that criminals make good cops (both from my observations and from my firsthand experiences), but inevitably some of them have the intention to leak information and compromise security. However, it can work in the opposite direction too...

Still, I do enjoy working with some of them on law enforcement duty, especially not many Agents go around with SAPD and Freecops in their ranchers nowadays (although I make sure it's only for mutual tasks as to not violate regulations).

  Could someone explain what the situation with cop groups and official groups is? I couldn't find it anywhere obvious and am thinking about making Immigration Patrol into a group.

Thanks.

You can make whatever cop groups you want, but you're not getting script support - CBFasi.

Check the Briefing Center, read my response to all that hubbalu. But seeing as the immigration patrol would have you always on duty, there shouldn't won't be a problem.

  To be fair to the guy he has already done enough as there is currently an Immigration HQ in LS Docks. It has dead LS cops hung up on a wall and sacks of meat lying around! Haha no one could ask for more!
  For Immigration patrol it would be possible to approach Gandalf and ask for permission to make it separate from SAPD (like FBI) however if brought to its full potential I would prefer Immigration Patrol to be a part of a SAPD faction like LSPD, DPD, SWAT and SFPD are. Ideally, as a group the Immigration Patrol would allow players to stay in their respective PD to allow more diverse opportunities as Immigration Patrol have and always will operate mainly ingame on the spot.

  Thanks I checked but could not find the topic. I saw CBF's topic in News and ANnouncements. I also checked 5 pages of your past posts and couldn't see anything relevant (or relevant to anything else! :P 

  Maybe I will just work my way up to be Captain be the last resort Captain like last time just so I can get some funky 169 6 Immigration Patrol cars!

Situation:

Civilian towing Police Car with Tow Truck, from Rodeo to LSPD Garage
Cop 1 see Civilian towing police car and arrest (/su) him for "Towing Emergency Vehicle without Permission"
Civilian claimed "I drive from far away to tow this car for cops, now u arrest me for it?"
Cop 1 followed procedures (Making suspect to surrender, using non-lethal and less-lethal force)
Questions:

Are cop allowed to arrest (/su) civilian for Towing Emergency Vehicle without Permission?
Or
The civilian should ask permission from on-duty cop first? / Or get on duty and tow the PD cars.

[Mahome]

SITUATION
There are 10 Araatus mobs shooting at cops from rooftop to your fellow officers,all 30 officers die in front of you but you survive.
What do you do?

QUESTION
1. Rage quit? (/q)
2. Start rushing on roof top and start spraying/ punch whoring them?
3. Start screaming on radio in caps?
4. Drive away and go chase some new players who been suspected for retarded reason?
5. Go grow some drugs?

[J. Prilo]

You try to hide, and call for backup.

Correct answer would be to stay in cover and call in backup.

[Thomas_Crof]

Stay in cover? No chance, they'll come and get you.

The best thing that you can do (in case of 10 armed suspects = Code purple) is to take a car, drive to the nearest PD and try to get as many units there as possible. Then go back and they'll be doomed!

  Lol I have absolutely no idea what that has to do with me making a cop group

  It is obvious they just want massive shootout and even if you try to RP the chances are one of the members will shoot you regardless of overall intentions. If you want a shootout and just want to try kill everyone then by all means go break a leg. If you want a decent RP, go elsewhere. I encourage to ignore these kind of team DM "RP's" so that the criminals get bored and at best will think of some RP to attract cops, and at worst probably just shoot each other instead.

  I really hate criminals who make massive shootout events claiming it's RP when there is absolutely no background story or RP reason for their actions - other than to attack cops (or cops to attack them) - which is effectively team deathmatch.

Attempt to pull the man over in the towtruck first, and briefly ask him the reason why he is towing the cop car. If he says that he's bringing it back to the PD, helping the police then there is no reason to arrest him. You may either follow him to make sure he isn't lying or continue with what you were doing.

[Jcstodds]

Hire tow truck driver and pay $100 for every PD car he brings back :P
Or get him to park all the cars nicely!

I gotta question about the new gates at LSAP, yesterday I was trying to enter the Los Santos International Airport, when there was a Freecop standing with a Shotgun, asking for a $50 toll, I asked him if this was allowed, he replied positively, I called an Officer if he knew if this was allowed to do, he said ''...Yes?..'' I presume he had no idea if it was or not, so here I am asking if ARPD/SAPD cops are allowed to ask for entry tolls for the LSAP and for what price...


I also have another question about the ticketing system.
I usually get pulled over by cops for doing wheelies on my Sanchez, for example, and they ask for a $250 ticket   (The maximum amount..).
I want to suggest some kind of ticketing table where you can see the prices for what situations.

EX:
Wreckless driving: $100
Speeding: $80
Vandalism: $150
Broken bodyparts: $50
etc, etc, etc.

[James Bowling]

Ok, from my point of view and the information that I have here is what happens. The Maximum an officer can ticket a Civilian is $250 to stop abuse. Now the Officer can ticket the person for the Maximum amount at any time. Some officers ticket higher and or lower due to how the Civilian role plays and or their current attitude. I use this system, if a man comes up to me and says "I DID not do anything GTFO you abuser money cop". Before I get to his car door then I feel that he does not respect me and or my job. Other officers ticket to how the crime is such as you stated Like $100 for speeding $250 to Reckless driving. This is up to the Officer how he wants to fine the person and I believe this system should stay this way.

Sincerely,
S.F.P.D. Sergeant Bowling

I think it's a good thing that a freecop tries new ways to roleplay. If I was you, I would pay for it, and don't post this post of yours. It's a great thing that new players attempt to earn some cash except from begging and scamming/hacking...
