I am X so I must hate Y.

Saying this as a cop that has been in canine for the majority of this year, I cannot agree with your statement. In a total of 30+ deployments, only 2 have been involving a vehicle exterior or person search. People absolute do not utilize K9 for any searches (or do any criminal interdiction for that matter) resulting in the majority of our workload being divided between mostly Search Warrant Executions and some tracking deployments. Generally, over the past weeks there have barely been any active traffic enforcement done outside of Traffic Division and some patrol deputies. Whilst there will always be a few bad apples seeking to take advantage of such ruling, it is easier to sus them out and report their behavior over opening doors to an even greater problem that has prevailed before - especially when there is a sheer lack of consequence to it between game constraints and lacking features.

I play competitive roleplay.

Was this not discussed a couple months back and the result was something along the lines of GTAW Economy / Continuinty being x10 the IRL dollar as well as avoiding decimals on low value items? It seems like a change with little effect but a lot of work to divide every single value on the server by one 0, from wages over prices down to values.

1.1) External Discords & Common Courtesy Players are expected to be respectful at all times, regardless of whether it is within a GTA:W Discord or an external Discord, if it relates to GTA:W, it should be respectful. Toxicity towards other players as a result of IC conflicts counts as an egregious metagaming and common courtesy violation. If players are toxic towards others in PMs, external Discords, or group chats, and the content is in relation to, or as a result, of situations from GTA:W, it can be punishable by server administration. How is this meant to be reasonably enforced outside of Legal Faction Discords? You engage in GTA:O style driving with unrealistic stunts and/or disregard realistic physics rather than in-game physics. Does this include motorbikes driving 120-140mph cutting corners at full speed without roleplaying falling off or losing control? You are expected to do thorough /me's of where exactly you are searching on the body of the person. You cannot make one long /me to search everywhere, it needs to be broken up and then asked in a /do if any items could be found. Does this include in-depth 2-3 /me & /do searches? Cause breaking up your search in 6-8 short emotes with an ever-present /do "Do I find anything?" inbetween not only clutters chat but looks absolutely play2win trash. Maybe a rewrite could be of use to prevent what I presume is intended to be emotes such as " /me would proceed to search all of John Doe's body being very thorough and not missing a single spot." You may use a vehicle at low speeds (20mph~) to stun (ram) a player on foot or a bike using a door, this must be roleplayed by the player opening the door. Does opening the door suffice or does it specifically ask for an extra /me emote similar to drive-by or "jump outs" with guns? If you are a witness in a court case, you must not delete the character until the conclusion. Shouldn't this be something more along the lines of "participating party" rather than witnesses specifically? Just to avoid potential confusion or misinterpretation. Tear Gas & Pepper Spray GTA V does not have any weapons that can appropriately resembles pepper spray or tear gas. As such, whenever informed that there has been roleplayed usage of tear gas or pepper-spray by the San Andreas Department of Corrections, inmates shall roleplay the effects appropriately. Correctional officers without gas masks or facial coverings must also roleplay the use in close quarters circumstances. As it stands, this is a prison-exclusive rule. What was the reasoning to make it as such, and not cover it server-wide? Tear gas and pepper spray are wide spread across the USA, both in law enforcement and simple self-defense / the open market.

The anti-theft functionality as a whole should be reworked to be more in line with how current real life systems such as LoJack function. That includes reasonable counter-measurements, too.

If hypothetically fleet management was still a thing or that Official Garage Unit they promised in 2022 made to facilitate the means for a new roleplay avenue AND enough people interested in it that it doesn't turn into a chore and drag to maybe two or three people taking part in it, I would oppose this suggestion. But since A there was never any geater interest in doing repetitive emotes on your own inside a garage when different factions had their civilian mechanic roles, B OGU was never made a thing, and C the work load that was already immense now made even more with the shortened maintenance cycles you might as well rid of it. Make Emergency Vehicles except from maintenance similar to airplanes, boats and bicycles.

LEO factions on suicide watch the moment they heard vehicles need to be maintained more often than they already do, at higher prices. An average 30% of the patrol fleet is usually rendered un-usable because they are sitting in red maintenance (r.e. experiencing engine failures when driven) until a high ranking member graces them by going through the fleet and npc /fmaintence or w/e the command was called. Whilst costs are less so of an issue as budget requests will simply increase to accomodate the higher maintenance costs, the actual backlog of maintenance conducted is going to be an even bigger issue than it already is with the current maintenance system. The only way to realistically, and without breaking IC policy, to maintain a fleet vehicle is wait for a high ranking member of the faction to use the aforementioned NPC command. Why is that? Each faction used to have their own fleet management crew, but about two years back they were collectively closed on very short notice and all current fleet mechanics removed from their factions to implement a new faction that would act as repair and maintenance service across the board, Official Garage Unit. It is 2024, and we are still waiting whilst having to 100% rely on a stopgap NPC command from a selective few that will now gain an even more workload due to shorter maintenance cycles.

Add helicopters and airplanes to it, they too are detected - or so I have been told earlier tonight.

The sedan received a new paintjob in 2018, The vehicle is insured for another 128 days, said insurance is transferable at the DMV. Looking for $83.000 OBO. (( OOC Information ))

idk, if it were a purely IC implementation, deal with it ICly. But the current standard of not even being able to contest them ICly or OOCly is making the implementation seem rushed and not properly thought through. From its initial release, more and more variables are pointed out that need to be tweaked such as a 5-10 MPH tolerance, the case of no plates, missing plates, direction of travel and camera angle, stolen vehicles, leased vehicles, LEO vehicles code 3 & normal driving, vandalism, etc...
