I agree to disagree on this. I play both cop and crim so I see where you all are coming at in the sense of kidnapping a cop and being the cop that is kidnapped. But out of all the comments here, the only two that I would fully agree with is @CallumMontie and @alexalex303. Callum, I agree with the fact you saying if this does go through that the people involved have a cooldown and aren't allowed to kidnap another person for said amount of time/days. And if they do and are caught doing so they should be punished by whatever means the staff thinks they should have for not following the rules. Alex, I agree with you on the fact you saying "cops being kidnapped for just doing their job". Like I understand why criminals would want to kidnap a cop because it seems like the cops are just after you and only you. But that isn't the case a lot of us are just trying to do our jobs and keep the city safe. But I have seen some cops being kidnapped just because they are doing their job, I luckily haven't had to experience that yet on my PD character. But the ones who have had that issue I had noticed it was just because they were doing their job either trying to protect a civilian, conducting a traffic stop or just giving a person a warning on their driving skills. I like how you said "if the cops are corrupt then they shouldn't have to approve kidnap roleplay', I fully agree with that if the criminals know that cop is corrupt and was just trying to go after then or their gang then I am all for that. But if the cop is just doing their job and not trying to do anything to harm themselves or anyone else then I fully stand on they need to be approved. But my only issue with not having cops approve kidnapping is when there are only 3-5 cops on-duty and you want to plan to kidnap a cop, it sucks because there are times we don't have the manpower to even save that cop. I know for a fact just recently there were only 4 cops on-duty and someone decided to kidnap a cop and there weren't any units to handle the kidnapping because 2 of the cops were only Cadets and as a Cadet, we can't leave the station unless allowed by a higher up. So I would say if you want to make it where PD doesn't have to approve kidnapping it can only be when there is a certain amount of PD on-duty so that it is fair for both the criminals that want to kidnap the cop and for the cops that are trying to save their college. I mean fair as in so the criminals can have their fun roleplaying the kidnapping and seeing where it goes and for PD the chance that we can save our college instead of just letting him die. Because realistically in the police force there are a certain amount of people on-duty during the day or night in case a hostage situation were to happen, but this is only a game if we are being honest and we aren't going to force people to stay awake in case of a hostage situation... It is not fair to them because they might have work in the morning or kids to drop off or kids to pick up, so if we go through with this I stand by PD isn't allowed to approve kidnapping if there is a good amount of PD units to be able to answer that call and help try to save the officer. We have all had those times we needed to go OOC or had situations out of the game that we needed to hurry to and being pulled over and arrested sucks. When I play my PD character if someone tells me that they need to go OOC then I am all for just jailing them on the spot after frisking them and getting their license and charges added, there are a lot of cops that are just like me in that sense if you haven't met one like that I am sorry but there are a lot of us that are very nice in situations like that. But I will apologize for those in PD that make you go through the whole process because I understand from the criminal standpoint it SUCKS big time. Basically, these are the only things I agree with on this whole post is, PD doesn't have to approve kidnapping if there is a certain amount of PD to answer the call to make it fair for PD. Then after the kidnapping, those involved that kidnapped the officer is not allowed to kidnap again(basically has a cooldown on when you can do it again, just like jailbreaks). If there aren't enough units on-duty to make it fair for PD then they are allowed to deny kidnapping just so that it is fair and not onesided.
