What if you come across someone who actually has a full face mask or a helmet on, but no /maskname?

take it far, hope you get official

If you're not getting the email, your best bet is to contact members of the faction's command staff. Captain+ for LSSD and LSPD, Battalion Chief+ for LSFD. I'm not sure who has ACP access in the other legal factions, so you'd have to ask there.

You do realize that there is a server rule for that already, right? If you get shot in the head and you're in wounded mode, you can't RP alive. If you're not in wounded mode and shot in the head, you can RP surviving. This is done by literally everyone on the server and not just an "LEO problem" as you make it out to be. And funnily enough, speaking as a member of illegal factions who witnesses this in faction wars, and an LEO/member of FD who handles medical RP at scenes of shootings, the amount of illegal roleplayers trying to survive stupid ways of dying is far, far, far higher than LEOs.

Then do what people have done in the past with cops who act like that. Write a CK app. You're quoting a rare incident with an LEO acting that way that happens once every blue moon, that should not be the precedent used to turn every police encounter into a free-for-all. And I'm saying that as a member of the illegal faction you quoted that is affected by that individual.

There's been plenty of occasions where police officers have called off pursuits on GTA:W when they're getting too dangerous and people start driving like they forgot they're not playing Need For Speed anymore. Especially supervisors in the LEO factions terminate pursuits when they see other cops start driving like idiots. It all depends on the charges and the situation at hand. Literally every single time someone hears gunshots, the very least they do is callt it in on the radio with a location, if they don't go there because they're dealing with an arrest, medical issue or whatever. Yeah, cause if cops would have to roleplay emotions to the 59278 dead bodies, 48727 shootings and other violent calls they encounter on a daily basis, 90% of them would have to roleplay PTSD 2 weeks in. I'm sorry, but considering the level of violence displayed regularly simply doesn't permit it. The same I mentioned above r.e. situations applies. Most people do RP emotions if the situation was actually well developed, involves CKs etc and not just dead body number 13 that hour in Davis. People need to drop this stupid us vs. them mentality, both illegal and legal roleplayers. Moreso illegal roleplayers who think they know it all about being an LEO on this server, without ever having set foot into an LEO faction.

Ah yes, so by your definition people should be free to go on a killing spree over an evading charge as well, right? Both carry the same sentence. Literally just a day. Some misdemeanors get the same, if not even more time than that.

I do. They have in the past. They haven't just cried in general discussion topics, they also made forum reports and faction reports.

Don't do that. That's a low standard in an argument. You can't compare Sweden to the United States, where the police is already heavily militarized than most countries' armed forces. California, the example he used, has more Police Officers than your entire country and its GDP is roughly x7 of Sweden's. That's just a state, not the country.

Northern* In his defense though, if things keep progressing the way they do, I don't doubt that the National Guard and maybe even Army Reserves are going to be boots on the ground in the US to deal with "immigration" at some point and some state governor is going to use them to curb gang crime/violence in general.

That's not about server rules. There's IC law that permits it. In any case, I, as a member of JSA and an LEO faction I can confidently say that would be a very silly addition to make anyway, considering the average handling time of warrants compared to the amount of phone traces being necessary for daily work.

If we're going back in time 2 years where cops were killed for existing, you best believe I'm going to bring out my rifle for every single traffic stop south of Downtown. People who have no experience in law enforcement roleplay, but still complain about how these LEO factions conduct their business don't understand the consequences if the rule is changed back to traffic stops being a free for all. You think you got a hard time now? Just wait until you get a traffic stop with 5 units, half of them with rifles and a helicopter above you. Good luck doing anything then, let alone just evading. We're going back to the old days of 3-4 man gang unit patrols, all-day TAC alerts which means cops with vests and rifles by default, constant SWAT suppression patrols in armored SUVs etc.

The standard is definitely not impossible. I've been on both ends being the criminal and the cop and I can tell you, that if you reason with the admin and actually have a good enough reason, you'll be fine. People argued their case by stating they were in a gang shooting the day before and were spotted by cops, but got away. The day after, they get pulled over by a gang unit and thought that was in relation to the aforementioned shooting, which in turn was then a very justifable and understandable reason they shot at cops. On the other hand, some Davis or Jamestown gangbanger killing a cop in the middle of a busy street in a traffic stop because they fear getting arrested with their 3 grams of crack is not justifiable at all. So yes, having the rule tweaked instead of outright removed is the better call of action. People might not shoot cops because "they're bored", but past incidents and the reasons provided have definitely proven that something like this very clearly needs to be at least somewhat regulated. Otherwise if the rule just gets removed and you get traffic stops with 10 cops on 1 car, cops with rifles out, Air units over traffic stops etc is just going to lead to more complaints on the forums again like it has been in the past. So however you do it, you can't make both sides happy. Having someone sit in their blacked out STX, Sultan or other meta car, shooting down cops without roleplaying or even getting out the minute they see the typing symbol over their head does not provide anything meaningful to anyone, other than footage for the next DM video, I'm sorry to be that guy.

"wHy Do tHoSe StUpID coPs aLwaYs tRy tO PuLL mE oUt aNd SeARcH me?" This shit goes both ways.

Incorrect, you can still be shot even if you don't have a weapon out. It all depends on the circumstances.
