    1 garage trailer with a view overlooking an abandoned grocery store, and close to Sandy MD. Party hard on the roof porch, or sit back after a hard day's work and drink with an open view of the sky. You never know what's going to happen in this neighborhood. We found an unconscious officer in the yard during the listing photography session (I don't think the neighbors are fond of them).

  2. First, let me start off with saying, and this is coming from a “criminal”, that I agree that prison sentences need to be increased. I’d also like to state you would have an extremely hard time finding a single person that I’ve robbed that wasn’t out of retaliation for attacking me first. I simply do not rob civs.

    In my opinion, the problem is more complex than just increasing sentences. There has been numerous occasions where I have been arrested via illegitimate methods. Allowing a single officer to slap down a 24-48 sentence without a trial, evidence being provided, etc seems like it will create just as many problems as it solves. 

    First step of this in my opinion would be to allow someone to plead guilty or not guilty upon arrest. Pleading not guilty would require a judicial system implemented that can handle the legal aspects (but if found guilty would result in a longer sentence). This is how it’s done in the US. While I don’t exactly agree with the US and their prison reform, it works, kind of. 

     

    Tl;dr

    Prison sentences need to be increased, but I’m not sure long sentences can be supported via the current system. Police should not be judge, juror, and executioner.

  3. Date and time (provide timezone): N/A - Can replicate any time

    Character name: Michael Reese

    Issue/bug you are reporting:  After taking a trucker job, and filling up your truck, if you crash after this you lose the trailer and the job. However, you do not lose the product you were trying to ship as the db field is persistent through these crashes. This causes problems because you can't deliver the incorrect product, to the incorrect location. The only way to fix this (that I have found) is to quit your trucker job, go back to the Trucker's Yard, and re-accept the job to wipe the stored product.

    Expected behavior:  Should be able to take new delivery, without having to /quitjob and reaccept job. Maybe wipe DB field upon acceptance of new job, or create a drop load button.

    Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate

    -Join Trucker Job

    -Accept a delivery (i.e. food/water)

    -Pick up trailer and fill up with designated delivery product

    -Leave server/crash/etc

    -Rejoin

    -Accept another job (i.e. Vehicle Delivery)

    -You will have no trailer, and the job will more than likely have been taken by another trucker (working as intended). You can accept a new job, and pick up the new trailer. However, you will not be able to fill up the new designated items onto the truck because it's still full of the old product.

    I get this in my house. Did you place the fireplace there or did it randomly appear? I have a feeling it's an issue with dimensions as I have never placed a fireplace in my house.

    There is one in the same spot in my house.

    I just want to add my POV on the discussion about roadblocks. Last time i tried to make a moving roadblock the suspect collided with me and made a report for nonrp cause i tried stopping him (cutting him off) in such high speeds. ( i apprechiate the fact that he made one becuause ge thought a rule was broken).

    Im just saying, you cant please everyone!

    Were you in the car? Was your car moving? In an actual scenario, cruiser roadblocks don't typically involve someone still inside their cruiser. If you block off a road, and get out of your car. Your cruiser turns from a vehicle, to a stopping tool.

    It's more about how the blockade is performed, not the blockade itself.

    Because of the limitations of as you so eloquently called it "the game" PD is unable to gather evidence as after you kill a cop, if we are lucky theres a body, but no one to rp what happened, no evidence, and if the officer had rp'd a body camera, and PD goes and arrests the guy, because if you watch any of these cop shows, you know ballistics from every firearm purchased legally is recorded in a database, well you would have swat and half of the cities police knocking on your door before you had time for the second beer. 

    I'm going to assume you're referring to internal ballistics, and this is a factually incorrect statement. There is no ballistics record for every firearm sold in the United States. Examination of bullets can be done to identify characteristics which limit the amount of guns it could have been fired from (i.e. caliber, and sometimes model). But there is nothing to tie that information to a database of registered firearms. This is why murder weapons are needed in most cases. You need the specific gun that was used to run ballistics tests.

    Secondly, ballistics change due to normal use, and intentional modifications. Meaning even if there was a database, it would be useless because the ballistics of a specific firearm change over time.

    257 man hours were spent on the rifle that killed MLK by firearms examiners (and it was test fired 18 times). Yet, there was no conclusive evidence that the rifle in possession was the one used in the crime. Each of those times, the ballistics were different.

    Im sorry what?

    Pretty sure he's saying that the individual selling the house, scammed him. Looks pretty clear.

    In the sense that if you have your own truck you don't get paid as well?  Or you get paid correctly?

    From what I was told 

    was correct, rentals get everything under 1k taken from tax and rent but if you owned your own truck you'd get the entirety of the amount

    Considering the majority are 1k jobs, the system still needs some tweaking. Possibly a rental variable being a percentage of the payment for non truck owners rather than a flat rate.

    @Brawnkoh I alone pulled over 20 speeders last night… so yea, problem with that is that everyone is after the big crimes and shooting at cops rather then RP.

    I as also on my criminal the other day at a traffic stop to only have the officer harassed and killed while giving me a ticket... to which I didn't even know who the criminal was, or anything and have no ties to other gangs. So this shows the general lack of RP standards held in the community by some of the players. 🤷‍♂️

    Speeding cameras in Real life don't just issue tickets like these ones, but also remove points from a persons license, and if your caught in excess of what's called "stunting" 50kph over the speed limit it is sent for review by officers/clerks who will issue warrants i'm certain... at least that's the way it works here in my neck of the woods.

    while yes I agree the cameras are mostly in place to try and deter people driving like maniacs all over the place at 200kph because we all know a city the size of los santos (based even on the GTA Online version) would have thousands of cars and civilians walkin around, rage and 99% of peoples computer on the server would never be able to support 300+ players, and then another 3000 npcs walking about. I personally when am alone or rping with people I pretend the city is packed with people.

    Anyways we are getting side tracked here a bit.

    I agree to not limit new players instantly but feel that higher paying jobs should be harder to obtain.... example being truckers.... as not just anyone can go out and become a trucker, courier is easyier, and farm labourer hell I was one when I was 12.... 18 years ago. Different jobs should have different requirements… and also Come on... you shouldn't be able to be a courier driving a company vehicle without a license... and trucker the same.... no company is going to let someone without a license drive their vehicles and 90% demand clean driving abstracts. (obviously this is hard to do with what people do here but to an extent it should impact their job opportunities some.)

    The point I'm trying to make here, is sometimes realism has to be set aside for balance. I was using the cameras as an example. If you want to deter people from working legal jobs, it's going to result in people committing more crime. It's counter productive to the overall problem the server is experiencing with the "hands up" mentality. Driving people away from legal jobs, drives them towards illegal ones.

    No matter how much in your heart you want realism, you're not thinking about the IC consequences of the realism you're asking for. There is both IC and OOC consequences to every action.

    Even today, recidivism rates in the U.S. are extremely high. A large portion of this is due to lack of employment, or lack of good employment and lack of skilled workers. Do you think in a situation where almost everyone is a criminal (The US amplified exponentially) less crime and more RP is going to happen if you take away jobs? Taking away jobs will create more criminals in Los Santos, not less.

    +1 

    Second +1 to @Jbacon for his point system too. 

    Perhaps start with +50 points for new players just to not limit any civilian jobs

    I'd be okay if they started with points. I'm just not okay with taking jobs away from new players instantly.
