To respond to this, PD (and I'm sure SD also) have an internal OOC protocol for "Leniency to New Players" where everything related to their arrest or jail time is advised to be reduced drastically to allow them to get back to playing to learn the ropes of the server. About the whole "Why are so many gameplay mechanics only understandable after having to go to prison or by discussing it with the staff" if you see it, RP it unless told otherwise in RP or by staff. This will stop the whole confusion in the future.

Success rate correlates with vehicle class?

+1 much annoying!

+1 to stock versions of purchased vehicles on all characters. -1 to a single transferable/accessible vehicle.

Remove until sync pls

To be honest, the suggestion @alexalex303 made is actually quite good but there would need to be a restriction on paying fines on charges requiring jail time and expired tickets (3 OOC days) where you cannot pay these off without interacting with an officer. (Credits @Echo45 and @Shadow)

More money for the government in fines that way (and more RP for all involved).

No, because then people can just easily bypass the whole "Failure to pay a fine" charge. We need to add RP interactions, not automate the system more.

+1, shit RP to drive next to a driving cruiser and /payticket 0 then spam T, Arrow up and Enter.

I'll read the comments after, I just want to say before reading everything - Why do PD have to lose something? IRL Cops go to work and are provided with the equipment required for duty. IRL criminals purchase their illegal items (or are supplied by their illegal organisation) to carry out their duty. The premise of this discussion (from the few responses I have read) are that they need to lose something to value their life more? If they are not valuing their life (regardless of potential item loss) they are in breach of the Fear RP rule. It is completely illogical to force PD to lose something (which I assume you mean of monetary value) as they are working with the equipment provided to them by the state. If you want to go down that route, let's raise taxes so the state can realistically afford what is required to maintain the streets,

Just wait out the 2 month cool down then appeal with 100% honesty.

Please, rain is constant now and it's weird considering that LS is based off LA.

Although a great idea, realistically it's extremely hard for a server to do. Unless it was something that was being streamed permanently to an alternate source, I don't see how a dedicated server could store and uphold one let alone multiple 24/7 recording cameras.

Head to the panel ( https://panel.eclipse-rp.net ) and click "I forgot my password" - Enter the email you think you used and check to see if you got anything. If you didn't get anything, PM Mikex on Discord.

Make sure your game resolution matches your default windows resolution as that may off-set the cursor in-game.

My opinion has changed since reading responses above. RPly it makes much more sense to contact the Police in the same way any civilian would and relay the information to the responding officer. It doesn't make much sense to set charges yourself when you are an acting civilian on a scene you are involved in, you should give your 2 cents to the officer and let their discretion decide the outcome. The reason I initially +1'd the idea wasn't for placing charges, but more for PD related situations that a supervisor may have and be required to do in private (sometimes off-duty) but not on active scenes.

Unfortunately, we rely on trust here to not MG IDs. IDs are crucial for reports (both active in-game and on the forums). If there is no way you can ICly identify someone's character name, and no OOC fallback, there is no way you can report the individual at all. Also, many commands require the 2nd parties ID to function - making IDs only visible with the scoreboard open will sadly not remove the MG problem as people who want to do so, will just play with the scoreboard up.

It is a combination of CPU and HDD lag. Can you post your specs below please? This is extremely common for all players. I assume when you say lag, you mean people/cars not loading, not able to press ‘N’ for push to talk but still keeping high frames, correct?

I think everyone is missing the point here. 'On duty' on the server = /fduty (unlocking script access to police stuff). What OP is suggesting is that regardless of your /fduty status, you can still login to the MDC to assist on-duty police conduct their work should you be requested/required to do so. It is always better for the primary witness (off-duty officer in this case) to apply the charge. I understand everyone's counter arguments, but this isn't suggesting to give off-duty cops more privileges, it's simply to allow cops to use the computer be they in uniform or not which RPly they would be able to do as you do not forget how to use a PC when you leave work. As I said, It would need strict internal rules but it is something I would like to see changed.

+1 but there would need to be internal faction rules to stop abusing it off duty.

+1, that's a nice idea. Would be cool if maybe the Discord 'announcements' tab was synced in to a window on the login screen so that it is in both locations at the same time.

This has derailed, take it back to the original topic or it will be locked and archived. No names should be dropped singling out specific groups to describe an argument so once again, back to OP's topic please.

+1, I loved criminal RP back when turfs were a thing. A scripted ability to prove your gang worthy. So many more gangs were active and there was much less teaming between factions.

-1 PD have internal rules/regulations about ramming/PITting and the intention isn't to hit the car so hard it stalls, it's to move the vehicle off the road then be boxed in.
