Police in game already have a ton of paperwork. The other night after I was done playing I did 90 minutes of paperwork outside of the game. Between writing a duty report, ADAM report, arrest reports and impound reports to release people's vehicles, plus an email to the cadet I had with me, and a copy to the commanding officer for his records. That doesn't even account for the SWAT officers, helicopter operators, high speed or heavy pursuit vehicles, traffic enforcement, investigators and Detective paperwork. I do not arrest people based off of a civilian's report alone. If he comes to me and says "that guy just robbed me for $8,864 and my heavy pistol" then I search the guy and find exactly that... Do I arrest him or let him go? Detain him and search him while I investigate? If the victim then says they have a video, great! I'll detain the suspect, review the evidence and make the arrest. If another cop says to me "that guy has an illegal gun" then I'm going to arrest that guy. A cop's word is higher value to me than a civilian's. The other day an RP situation happened where one person claimed that another hit their car intentionally and wouldn't take care of the damages. The "suspect" denied it so I RP'd looking for accident damage which he played out with me, luckily. At the end of the day if you're going to commit crimes and get caught, I don't think you should get to whine about if there is "evidence" or not. If you flee the drug lab and have a bunch of LSD on you when you're caught, you're getting a charge for manufacturing if you were seen actually manufacturing or not!

Let's look at a couple days of criminal activity: Day 1: You're broke, hungry, can't afford a car... You manage to find a car with a full tank of gas, so you steal it. (GTA 45 minutes) You head over to the foundry hoping to make a quick 8000-10000 robbing a miner that just dropped off a bunch of ores. You hold him up by holding a knife to his back telling him you'll carve him up if he doesn't comply. Since you got the drop on him you also manage to steal his pistol. (Armed robbery 60 minutes) Oops, you weren't wearing a mask and he knew you, and reported you to the police. Now you have 10 grand. You get some food and drink and a gps, maybe even a map then head to sleep. Day 2: You check your bank and things are looking grim. Time to sell some drugs! You managed to hide the car from yesterday and jump inside. You head to the shop and buy a mask, put it on and head up to your local drug lab. You get to the drug lab and some dude is in there by himself, wearing a wife beater and you see he doesn't have a gun. You pull up and buddy gets spooked, jumps on his bike and takes off. You start making drugs and get a decent haul. (Manufacturing Narcotics 60 minutes) Suddenly you hear cars approaching. Thinking it's going to be a local gang you decide you're going to run for it so you aren't gunned down. As you jump in your car you spot the cops coming into the compound. You manage to juke them and now you're running to save your ass. (Felony evading 60 minutes) You lead them on a chase that passes through 2 speed camera zones and you get 2 reckless operation charges (20 minutes) and it looks like you're finally getting away. You decide you're going to ditch the car so they don't recognize it and start chasing you again. Little did you know, the helicopter has been watching you. You're 100 ft from your stolen ride and here comes the brigade. You decide, it's shootout time. You manage to down 1 cop and injure another. (Murder on a govt employee 135 minutes). You take off on foot leading them on a short pursuit (resisting arrest 25 minutes). You're finally taken into custody, still wearing your mask (10 minutes) and you've racked up 415 minutes, just shy of 7 hours. Is this a realistic scenario? Sure it could be. But if you do this, how can you come and complain about unfair prison times? Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

+1 Either a landing pad or patient transfer. Both are good ideas imo.

IMO this wouldn't be such a BIG issue if there were ai in the game. There would be more traffic all over the place that would make people slow down, even a little bit. I do prefer to not have a player cap on the server unlike others, I guess it's a price we pay.

+1 Add a couple lots around the entire city. Hopefully you only have access to the vehicles you have parked at each lot, not every car at every lot. For example if you parked your bike at Legion Square you can't unpark it in PB.

This must be a joke thread, right?

Sometimes I find myself browsing the player report forum and archive. Aside from the time spent reviewing EVERY report, reviewing ALL video footage, dealing with the complaints and some people acting childish, they then sit down and come to a conclusion and write a very detailed response to the player's actions and outlining the reasons behind the punishments given or not given for the events that transpire. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your dedication to the server and it's players! You guys help make this place better! Cheers!

Completely agree! Just like the low number of police, but that's another story.

There needs to be more staff at the hospital. I've been there in several occasions and it's empty. No one to do treatment/healing.

Or be able to have a global speaker volume setting { /speakervolume all 20 }

+1 from me

Hello to everyone. I'm just waiting to be accepted and I know that the team is blazing through the applications! I've been watching lots of YouTube videos and I'm excited to get on and play!
