I have browsed and browsed the forums up and down. I have seen many reports of Police getting away with so much that shouldn't happen, and I have seen many complaints about the LSPD.
From what I have noticed the LSPD pretty much get away with everything from unrealistic actions (bringing SWAT to arrest someone for parking tickets, being able to break Fear RP because they are police officers, and having an unlimited arsenal of weapons at their disposal with no repercussions. )
Unrealistic Actions
I have personally IC seen a swat van roll up on myself and other fishing with SMG's, Carbines, Vests, and more just because they saw someone well known for having a large amount of speeding tickets in the area (it was a lot of speeding tickets). Another instance was today we were having a meeting and SWAT showed up to our location with snipers on roofs, helicopters, 2-3 swat vans, about 5-6 cruisers, and arrested a member for speeding tickets again. During this arrest they provided no information about why he was being arrested, why our meeting was interrupted, and why they rolled so heavy on us for simple tickets.
Breaking Fear RP
I have seen cops severely out numbered, out gunned, and in a horrible situation break fear RP simply because they do not want to be taken hostage, or because they believe they can because they are cops (I have been told this by them before.) I unfortunately cannot record due to lag but if you browse the player reports you will see many reports on officers breaking this rule. My solution for this would be a simple update in the rules saying police cannot break fear RP as well, or when they are joining they must be told just because they are cops they cannot break these rules.
Lastly my least favorite and most hopeful a change could be made.....
Godmode Police
The officers in this city has everything available to them for nothing. They get a helicopter with 200% fuel, I mean come on how is that even fair. they get free carbines for swat and ammo and have to pay nothing for them. These SWAT members are already pretty much unkillable with their helmets, body shields, air support, back up etc. Why should they have access to these insane advantages for nothing? I understand police and SWAT should have an advantage over criminals anyone who doesn't think that way should definitely reconsider. But being able to withdraw Carbines, Body Armor, and all their other tools for nothing is crazy. I believe the Police department should have a faction treasury just like others, and when they withdraw a carbine it takes money out of the treasury so that way they aren't able to spam ammo and do whatever they please with no repercussions (especially since cops guns are unlootable). Same goes with armor these cops come heavily geared with armor and can just get a new one after a fight is over.
Now for the police having a faction treasury if they did obviously the police department should receive funding from the city just like we all receive a salary, they should have access to their weapons but after a long fight with a gang they should not be able to just straight up re supply for nothing. These officers simply have nothing to fear they die with their carbine, so be it they withdraw another, I die with my AK with 100 ammo and attachments, I lose thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of items.
I have also noticed officers when their vehicle is lost/stolen/or abandoned due to being shot they simply just spawn it back at the PD, this should not happen either they should have to go pick it up from wherever it is located.
These are my complaints/suggestions. Anyone that would like to add, revise, or provide constructive criticism please feel free.
