Yeah I haven't dealt with FD in over a ear as I always get npced now. Glad that aspect has changed as I have been silenced for complaining about it in the past.

Maybe don't have the medical rp being numbers and measurements that most roleplayers have no idea about, if someone's injured they're injured. ALSO private EMS companies would be great.

*The website's quite plain in display, everything center-aligned: 'anotherdayinparadise.net.'* (( https://forum.gta.world/en/topic/117988-paradise-project-webportal )) Hey there. Butch here. Just would like to give you a warning that there is disturbing content in this article, particularly footage of police Neutralizing a suspect. If that bothers you I'd recommend avoiding this article. Pursuits, high speed chases.. criminals evading the law. They're the lifeblood of a night out stringing, between shootings, brawls and general disputes it's the sound of sirens wailing out into the night that draws a stringer in. It's quiet? Well there goes a dozen sirens. Honestly? When it comes down to it I personally try and avoid pursuits, but I have a habit of catching the tail end of a pursuit... or well. The end of the line. Ha, see what I did there? Whether the suspect continue to run on foot, be tazed, or even go out in a blaze of glory, you'll eventually see it all. Not every pursuit is the side effect of violent crime of course, it's quite common for street racers and joy riders to evade police for their adrenalin hit. I'd wager at least 50% of pursuits I see aren't worth bothering with as they are regularly a joyrider who feels lucky taking a gamble and fleeing from police rather than risking a suspended license or an impounded vehicle. Joke's on them of course.. if police have your plate it'll get impounded anyway when they raid your house. Great way to catch a worse sentence that one, but who am I to judge? Some just can't take the heat and have the urge to put their pedal to the floor. But anyway, I'm probably boring the shit out of you so I'll talk about some pursuit terminations that I personally have witnessed (and documented) within the recent past. First off, it's the 21st of January 2024. Ash and I have just finished documenting the recent raids on multiple apartment blocks when we head back towards Legion Square, spotting a car pulled over by multiple police vehicles. The suspect sits inside.. their car disabled. So what is it that they chose to do you may ask? Well. Obviously they run from the police, Metro Police included.. a stupendously bad idea. But here's the footage. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to have caught the moment the suspect was arrested following the foot pursuit, but you can see why his decision was ridiculously stupid. Multiple armed officers, armoured vehicles. It's almost like they wanted to spend some amount of time in the pen. It was a rather eventful night on it's own, but a foot pursuit like this? The perfect way to finish the night. Skipping forward to much more recent happenings I'll start with the most recent pursuit. Why not the one the night before? Well, we'll find out when we get there dear readers. It's the 9th of February, about 1am. Close enough to the witching hour that one wouldn't be surprised to find out that the most hectic of arrests are made in the small hours. Here, our suspect has been pit maneuverered into a wall, crashing and ending his pursuit. I had arrived to the scene following the suspect being detained. I had overheard the Officers stating that they had to taze and beanbag the suspect multiple times. Geeze. if that were me I'd have given up the second my car hit the wall. Course our suspect here made claims that police provoked him into evading.. when in reality they pulled him over in the first place for driving an unregistered vehicle. Rather stupid if you asked me. Well. If you don't know what police do with unregistered vehicles used in crime I'll tell you. They get crushed. Hope he didn't pay much for his ride. I would feel bad for the perp, following all the tasers and beanbags.. as well as his car being crushed. But truthfully? I don't. He threatened me after all. Finally.. from now on I will warn you, the following footage may disturb, especially considering the subject matter. It's the 8th of February, close enough to 2am. I'm driving around when I notice sirens, I slowly follow a Sherriff's Department vehicle as it rolls up near Forum Drive. There's cars everywhere so I cross the road. Right as I up my camera I capture deputies surrounding a perp. His car's tangled up in a tree. Multiple firearms pointed at him. Right as I up and focus my camera the suspect charges at police. Police open fire and he's shot dead on the scene. I wonder what the fuck was running through his head? Why waste your life like that. I apologize readers the following footage is rather disturbing. But it's the truth. This is what goes on inside Los Santos. I'll avoid poking fun here like I normally would as a man's dead. He wasted his life with one incredibly stupid decision. I don't know how he ended up fleeing police and what crimes me may or may not have committed. But at the end of the day a human life has ended. That's it. That's the end of the line for him. This wasn't an easy article to write, admittedly it's not every day you catch a human life ending on camera in this line of work. I feel for the family of this gentleman who just lost someone they cared for. I feel for the Deputies who went home knowing they had to end the life of another human being. But everyone makes stupid decisions. While the local government and the movie industry love to promote sunny Los Santos, those who live here know the reality is much more grim. I'd like to thank you for reading this article. It's been brewing for a few days. But I didn't know how I was going to tackle such a heavy subject matter. - Butch.

*The website's quite plain in display, everything center-aligned: 'anotherdayinparadise.net.'* (( https://forum.gta.world/en/topic/117988-paradise-project-webportal )) Hey readers, Butch here it, turns out writing articles isn't going to be a one-time thing. This one will be more of a blog though. Funny that? I see I had quite a few readers with the last article. Unfortunately this article's going to be a bit more serious than poking fun at idiots. Today's issue is on drugs, addiction. Particularly based on my personal experience with the opioid crisis in our city. Course, this is the sort of thing that the Vinewood elite love to brush over. Even the star-walk can't hide victims of the opioid epidemic from tourists. As much as I don't like to admit it, I myself am a recovering heroin addict, having been hooked shortly after running from home. I never finished high school.. actually grew up in Hawick funny enough, that great big Vinewood sign looming over me for my whole life. Didn't take long on the streets till I was hooked, having been offered a joint spiked with heroin nasty stuff, Gotta be careful who you take your drugs from people! You know what though? It was awful.. I hated it from day one.. slowly falling into addiction I was helpless to stop it. I grew desperate, begging for money, pawning things I'd find in dumpsters.. all to satisfy my fix and cease the rising dope sickness. Despite what some of you may think, that addicts continue to do drugs because they enjoy them. That isn't always the case.. especially when it comes to drugs as nasty as heroin, horse, dope.. whatever the fuck you chose to call it. For years I was a zombie, a slave to my habit and the cities health system wasn't any help back then. PHMC weren't maintaining medical records quite as well as they are these days. If I wasn't getting high on the streets I was getting high in clubs and bars, snorting powder in the bathroom, shooting up in an alleyway. Opioids are awful shit. But... it's not as simple as suddenly going cold turkey. Can't just take people's drugs away and expect them to get better. Unfortunately this seems to be the solution that those not in the know chose to take... and honestly? Who can blame law enforcement for that.. it's their job to take away illicit substances. But at that point you're creating a criminal, feeding into the cycle. People need help. Not every drug addict is a bad person, some are victims. I can certainly tell you that I'm not the only one to have gotten addicted to heroin through a spiked joint here and there. Whenever I see someone begging on the streets, strung out? I treat them like a person. We're all victims to the system here in Sunny Los Santos. There isn't even a clear solution to the drug epidemic. Unfortunately drugs will never just -go- away.. however from my personal experience many addicts simply need to be provided with something else. Something more. I found myself facing the strongest influence of all, hope. I had a friend stick their neck out for me. Making sure that I was healthy fed me, helped me ween off the drugs. For that I was stronger they had given me what I needed to kick the habit. While that may be one person yes, I ask that you look out for friends and family who may be suffering with addiction. Stand by their side and help them work through it and maybe they'll turn around, get better. Pushing them to get away from heroin, meth even gambling. If you truly care for them don't demonize them, you'll push them away. Much like some of my friends certainly did.. I'm not proud of my past, but frankly.. I'm grateful for those who have stuck beside me for the duration of my journey. All and all.. don't come to Los Santos people, this place is a hellhole. The drug epidemic is only going to get worse and with a drug market comes warfare. Gangs fighting for control of a market and the police can't do fuck all about it. For every big drug bust, another organization will simply fill the gap. Leading to criminal organizations producing more drugs to flood the streets. Gunfights are already a regularity here as organizations fight for power. Even these days I usually catch the aftermath of a mass shootout every night that I go out stringing. Western society is in decline and Los Santos is the hotbed where you see the division of classes at it's worst. While the eccentrics in the hills wine and dine.. tourism continuing to line their pockets while the rest of us suffer down here on the streets. We'll continue to suffer from addiction, and from violence being caught in the crossfire between groups fighting for control. So.. what can I say? Don't fucking come to Los Santos. Help out your friends dealing with difficulties such as addiction and.. well. Promote indie media, you know mainstream media aint going to talk about the difficult shit we do. I guess that's it for this week folks. Look out for your friends, family and loved ones.. god knows who else will. DONATE IF YOU CAN PLEASE, THIS SHIT AINT EASY.

pulling a pistol randomly out of your pants requires 0 rp but drawing a baton attached to a belt should require an emote?

Username: ButchParadise Comment: Thank you. God knows i'll need it.

As a journalist rper the scanner addition is great. Guess we have to faction up though 😅

Username: Butch_Paradise Comment: Above in regards.

Username: Butch_Paradise Comment: Unfortunately that is true for a majority of arrests at traffic stops.. unfortunately some people feel the need to act out. I'll be writing an article on the cycle of violence among the Youth in the future.. big shame this is where the future generation is going.

*The website's quite plain in display, everything center-aligned: 'anotherdayinparadise.net.'* (( https://forum.gta.world/en/topic/117988-paradise-project-webportal )) It's not Ash! I know, how surprising! I may as well start writing I suppose. It's like any other night in South Central. Sirens all around, bodies strewn about the streets, but tonight I don't exactly feel like writing about dead bodies and rather one of the most supreme acts of stupidity I've seen in a few weeks. (And there's a hell of a lot of stupidity to be seen in Los Santos.) It starts with a traffic stop like any other. Torrence, check. Carload of teenagers? Check. Multiple police? Sounds like we've got a long night ahead of us. Eventually after no small amount of questioning police have one of the passengers exit the vehicle, upon question this teenager he seems to grow rather agitated. Deciding to swing at an officer and run. (While assaulting an individual is rather dumb, assaulting a police officer is even more so, this teenager can expect no small amount of time behind bars.) And so he ran, but that's not all.. his friends despite being pulled over decided to flee the scene the moment officers pursued his friend, now that's one way to earn yourself an evasion charge. Stupid games huh? After a short pursuit on foot Officers eventually detain the suspect. Gun aimed and ready to stop him from potentially assaulting yet another officer. See kids? This isn't excessive force this is simply how officers treat potential threats to their wellbeing. Want your next traffic stop to go smoothly? Don't swing on a cop. Unfortunately PD wasn't too happy with me lingering around their police scene and snapping photos, I overheard them suggesting that they'd arrest me if they found out I'm an accomplice No clue where they may have gotten that idea in their heads? Guess that explains why these cowboys were waving guns at me like it was the gunfight at the O.K. corral. So I vacated the area, watching the arrest from afar. Soon enough it was time for the police to search this wayward youth. Now I know what you're thinking... was he was armed? Nope.. but he was carrying five figures in cash on him.. now losing that REALLY must sting.. wish I could be a fly on the wall when he finds out how long he'll be behind bars for. Of course, that's not all.. poor kid seemed to think cops would just turn him back to his parents.. he seemed to be really embarrassed about the possibility of his parents seeing him on the evening news. Well I have great news for you kid, here you are.. front and centre on my debut. Now, I hear you ask but what about the perp's friends? Well.. according to the Officers on scene they were caught too, having crashed into multiple police vehicles in the process of evading... so at least he won't be in the pen alone.. But really that's another special kind of stupid.. their friend was the one in trouble, why the hell did they have to go and evade and earn themselves a multiple year sentence behind bars. (Felonies aren't a joke kids.) In short don't be a fucking idiot, sure you may dislike cops.. but there's better ways to go about it than swinging on an officer and earning yourself a multi-year stint in the pen. Especially when you're still going through puberty. And guess what kid? You're famous now, congratulations. Moral of the fucking story? Don't waste your life pulling stupid shit like this.

Name: Evelyn_FinancialAdvisor Comment: Pursuits like this are often used as a smokescreen for bigger crimes, I wouldn't be surprised if taxi companies are owned by criminal organizations and are hiring their drivers to distract police resources. In Liberty City many utilities companies are owned by crime families, I'm sure this may be the case in Los Santos. ((This comment was posted by an Anonymous VPN traced back to Argentina.))

Username: ButchParadise Comment: Interesting article! Funny that I had been considering mentioning it offhand in my next article. Guess I don't have to now!

Username: Butch_Paradise Great work Ash, can see some of my shots were used 😉 looking forward to putting my first article out there now that you're back in the game.

Awesome! Can't wait to see if there'll be a confrontation 😁

And the ring.. whole set lost it's texture after that massive clothing pack was added IIRC.
