If you wanted me to check it, would've sent me the link, though I am well aware of their OOC requirements. There were days when I could use my VOIP, and there were other days when I couldn't and I was already in the faction, so what is your point? That will remain. If in certain circumstances I am in a position where I cannot use VOIP, then that's that for you x. Otherwise, the law says nothing (even irl since that's what you are basing it on) about yelling taser three times before shooting. That is a matter of local policy. It is also for officers' discretion prior to using it, so if someone doesn't yell it - doesn't mean they are automatically fired or reprimanded. Every policy breach can be justified to make it a legitimate breach. So this whole 'suggestion' to put rules in can be simply suggested ICly to PD - 'make a taser policy', but again... you'd rather go OOC, that's expected.

Yes, because I carry one. There are Tasers that have only two prongs, you can swap an additional cartridge. Axon have also released the one where you can flip the taser to the left and right to change cartridges without actually removing it physically. They DO NOT get used after the suspect is resisting for 20 minutes - mfs run away and get tased in a heartbeat at times. Ambulance is called in to remove the prongs, not for the fact that someone was tased. Irl cops do not have to scream taser taser before shooting, however are advised to in order to make colleagues aware and other members of the public; that is a tactical decision to yell or not, policy =/= law and a break of one can be easily justified.

Everything. It's just nonsense.

So you're automatically discounting others that do not use VOIP? This being primarily VOIP based server doesn't mean that those that choose not to use VOIP should be put in a position to use it. Inconsiderate of you.

If that's the response to Einhart's comment, then it speaks volumes when noting previous comments made regarding winning.

'The use of taser should be announced with "taser taser taser" like IRL while giving suspects a chance to react' That's just funny. As if I have to type in words irl or click my keyboard's 'N' to speak. 'There should be prohibited use of tasers during on foot chases - because we have tackle animation which can be used and yeah I believe on foot chases can be a lot of fun and can promote more RP, not like every foot chase being ended with 5 cops firing tasers on you every few seconds. IRL its quiet common to have on foot chases with no use of tasers.' That's quite literally the only time you should be using it. Not in water, not when people hopping over fences or driving cars... when they're on foot and running. A lot of arguments 'because this is the way irl' and then you drop something that is very far fetched from irl.

Since I don’t have my laptop, not able to write an essay out, but made me chuckle when I read ‘announce before using force’ in the original post. Since it appears this is mostly mentioning the UK, breaking policy as long as you can justified will land you no punishment or reprimand. Breaking the law is another matter. Announcing the use of force prior to using it is a choice for a police officer to make. Personally I’d never unless I was trying to challenge someone for the purpose of ‘scaring them’ into surrender. Whether someone deploys a baton and strikes or PAVA spray — officers can announce or not, up to them, though advised not to so the person remains exposed and ‘vulnerable’ to those being effective. Tasers, similar to red-dot challenge on the taser, is a choice of an officer. I have seen a person being tased with nothing said, and I have seen an officer say ‘I got my taser out’ or yell ‘TASER TASER’ prior to deploying. Also TPAC trained officers WILL NEVER announce or give ‘demands’. If they want you off the road, you are coming off the road.

This is a killer sentence. I just stopped reading from this point on.

This is actually sick, the only reason I'd ever reinstall Rage.

But the same concept applies to the rest of the United States, and that's where the State of San Andreas is being roleplayed as. New York? You can pay online. Texas? You can pay online. Washington? The answer remains, and that's just to name a few, you can google the rest of the states as you see fit. You can pay online. California was an example, hence why I said "just an example".

But this isn't Canada, though. In California, you can pay it in person, by phone, via mail or online — so why not present that option to the players? That's just an example from the County of Santa Clara; https://www.scscourt.org/self_help/traffic/paying_fines.shtml

that's not factual, i spent 99% of my time in the field.

Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with this, but it's probably the best comment here by far. You deserved a like from me!
