Rework the script with regards to stolen vehicles

[Paris]

Short description: Rework the script with regards to stolen vehicles, restrict commands and rework /reportstolen and /reportfound, rework 911 / 991 script to accomodate an automated process.

 

Detailed description: Currently, as far as I understand it there's no connection between the MDC and the game with regards to a vehicle being stolen. I think the entire system ought to be reworked with the current commands /reportstolen and /reportfound being accessible only to LEO's, and that players have to use either 911 or 991 to report their vehicles being stolen. You could possibly have an automated system which triggers when the player mentions keywords during the 911 call, with the system asking them questions which could lead to an automated 911 for us on duty with basic information (Vehicle, license plate, listed colors, last seen location).

The reason is two fold, currently we have no way to contact the owner who has reported their vehicle stolen because they do not leave their number, nothing is listed in the emergency database because there's been no call with the current script system in place, and with the existence of the emergency database there'll be history to see how often vehicle's are stolen. When the script fails to properly identify the call as a stolen vehicle type, that's when we should have access to the command /reportstolen to manually report it, or during cases where a person comes up to us during patrol with no 911 call made. In those cases the command should give us the option to also put in a valid number, so /reportstolen [licenseplate] [number] so that the officer who finds the car can call the owner back.

There should be an active list on the main page of the MDC detailing all the vehicles currently stolen, the same one you're able to see when you type /stolenvehicles. The only tool to see whether a vehicle is stolen is through the ALPR at the moment, or if you are mindful enough to use the command /stolenvehicles with some regularity while on duty. The MDC should ping when you run a plate on the DMV database stating that the vehicle is reported stolen when it is.

 

Commands to add: Rework /reportstolen to only be LEO accessible, change the syntax to be /reportstolen licenseplate telephonenumber, have the script auto generate info regarding vehicle colours from the license plate when issuing a dispatch message to LEO. Have /reportfound only be accessible by LEO.

 

Players must call 911 or 991 to report their car stolen, the 911 script can ask questions if it picks up words like stolen, so that it can be an automated process to report the vehicle stolen. Questions it would ask would include location, last time vehicle was seen, license plate, and the script would auto generate colors from the MDC database when issuing the dispatch.

 

The command /reportstolen is for times when the 911 script doesn't activate with regards to vehicle theft, or when a person manually reports it.

 

Items to add:

 

How would your suggestion improve the server? It would be a major improvement with regards to the entire aspect of handling vehicle thefts.

Done, apologies. Copy pasted suggestion from the PD forums.

Supported.

I support this, most people call 911 saying their car is stolen and they don't know the plate so they cant use the /reportstolen command. Also sometimes when a vehicle is found by police the person does not always /reportfound and can cause confusion with ALRP.

This has to be implemented admist the recent wave of abuse by ricers and cop baiters alike. Until then, it should also be a punishable offence as part of the server rules for poor roleplay and character portrayal.

/reportstolen should also only be used by LEO. This would aid in a controlled database where contact indeed has to be made first verbally. If it's at the station, on the street or even through the phone. The loophole that the system creates at this point is ridiculous and we see a rising in the usage of the command by people who evade from the police.

No lol.

 

Anyone can report their vehicle stolen. It's upto YOU GUYS, the cops, to catch these people lying in the act lol. Just because there's a minor in character inconvenience it doesn't mean you guys need the script altered to help you win. This is a play to win mentality exhibited pretty obviously.

 Or is it play to win from your side because you can't abuse the script anymore?? ??? Clearly the system is being abused and flawed, specially cause cars irl do not disappear from the bottom of the earth. In gtaw they do. It's not about winning cause if you get away and don't know who's driving we and with we I mean us LEOs still have a challenge in proving you were driving the vehicle. This command is being abused as an extra loophole without regard of the realistic aspect of reporting a vehicle. 

 

What we are trying to formulate is make it more realistic! We are a heavy rp server after all.
