This system would be fairly simple to integrate. Probably a /confiscate command for Officers to store items in a vault of some kind (virtual of course), then outside PD, SD, DOC... They can possibly /retrieve items once they are out of their sentence at the front desk. Of course the Officer making the arrest would take all items that would count as evidence or illegal items and store them in the evidence locker never to be seen again, but as for items like GPS, Radios, and other things can be stored in a vault until they finish their sentence.

Very well... As you said there is no set meta for gangs, however if we are dealing with cartel level groups then we would have the military or border patrol involved in some way seeing as it’s realistic for them to have radio towers. This is where the split between what is realistic and unrealistic comes into play right? As for types of gangs, I was referring to the gangs original goal. If they are indeed a cartel then sure makes sense to have radios to communicate while they transport drugs and guns etc... But the gangs I have run into are either just city muggers or mafias, that apparently have the ability to radio for help when held at gunpoint. (We can’t threaten their livelihood for using their radios because well PD.) But sure, someone being pulled over can say “Yoo I’m being arrested!” while cuffed... behind his back... where his fingers can’t touch the button. As for gang nerfs, I’m not familiar with them, can you explain so I can better understand your side?

See what I mean by by where everyone stands on different opinions of realistic RP? Those were just examples, calm the fuck down. The radio towers for cartels is a true statement, but PD doesn’t have the realistic countermeasures for cartels. This is happening within metro limits where apparently gangs have radio towers? I would believe it if we where located in Mexico City. As for the silencers, it wasn’t a question possibility for the weapons. Are we changing the type of gangs on ecrp? Also believe this thread is pointless. No one will be nerfed... it’s fun to read the ridiculous statements though.

I can tell you that it has never been PD v Crim mentality, it has been "What is realistic RP?" and everyone has a different opinion on where that stands. Some may find it realistic that PD create a special unit dealing with high speed pursuits while some may find it realistic to evade up a mountain or unrealistic terrain. Then we have those that break FearRP, force DeathRP then somehow they are back on the street committing crimes because NLR applies and PD has to deal with the same person over and over. Some PD find it unrealistic for criminals to have long range radios on hand where they can communicate with their buddies saying "I'm being pulled over!", because it's unrealistic for PD to threaten their life for relaying radio transmissions... There is no way for PD to win in those types of situations. Which is why we adapt. The real question everyone needs to get together on OOCly is "What is realistic in these type of situations?" Yes it is realistic for XRAY to be in the air so they can give us a location of the vehicle being pursued. Yes it is realistic for SWAT to be heavily armed in operations. No it isn't realistic for Police Officers to be heavily armed on drags, however given the unrealistic RP of drags going up mountains and unrealistic roadways we make this exception ESPECIALLY when they are a wanted felon. No it isn't realistic for Gangs to have radios where they can communicate and obstruct every Police Officer 10-55 or 10-66, however this will never change as it will upset the majority of the server. No it isn't realistic for Gangs to have a silencer on shotguns or machine guns, how the hell does this even happen? (AND MUCH MORE)

So, you're saying that cops should just give up and let the gangs do their thing? We adapt, that's all... PD has the money and resources to adapt to changes in the city. Yet anytime that we try and adapt and match our opponents it's powergaming or nonRP? We can't just keep saying "OOP there goes another gang member off road in his fancy XA-21 off road with seven other vehicles surrounding him to shoot at us if we keep following them." or "OOP there goes another person with a heavy weapon on their drag getting away, oh well we will get them next time in our slow ass police cruisers."

Well considering the amount of firepower that PD has to put up with, I would say that is normal RP now. Considering the unrealistic RP that PD has to put up with, daily might I add, I would think that Commander Bacon with a fucking railgun would make perfect RP. I've tested both vehicles on many types of roads, it is easier for a drag to control on dirt, rocks, whatever road than it is with a cruiser. That is why PD needed XRAY and HSU to respond to the ridiculous unrealistic pursuits... Chasing a drag in a Crown Victoria, PD loses sight in 5-10 seconds.
