Seems like a pretty draconian measure for something that can be solved by fixing your irresponsibility. Your numbers are exaggerated, no gang had 100 people in total, let alone online at one time. If criminals were more responsible with the way they interact with one another, and especially the police, you would not have this issue of being constantly checked and suppressed - cops retain a reactive role meaning they usually respond to your behavior and/or actions instead of initiating without due reason. If you get arrested enough times and earn a bad name for yourself, you will get a chopper and two cars stopping you because they know you will likely do something stupid again. Avoid stacking your cars with 4 people and heavies, avoid convoying and shooting cops, and be more calculated when conducting your business and you will find it a lot easier to have a good time.

Great deal on my new car, super good prices! All the best.

Scroll up for story.

Narcotics Seizure -N - On the 26th of October 2022, a Patrol Officer with the Vinewood Traffic Division came across a vending machine in the Strawberry area, Forum Drive, that was operating and distributing drug paraphernalia. This would not be the first time something like this would happen - the Officer informed the Metropolitan as well as the Gang and Narcotics Division to investigate the matter. A tactical frequency was employed between the Metropolitan and Gang and Narcotics Division to investigate the matter, and later dismantle the drug trafficking operation. In a secluded alleyway off Forum Drive Detectives and Operatives locked down the surrounding area. - - Following consultation with Government officials as the origin of the vending machine was unknown - as well as who placed it, and who was operating it which is currently being investigated, the vending machine was dismantled, and the contents were seized. The vending machine itself, close to 200 grams of drug manufacturing material including marijuana and marijuana seeds, as well as close to 250 grams of drug paraphernalia in drug manufacturing chemicals were seized from the vending machine, totaling close to half a kilogram of narcotics being sized with a street value estimation of $50,000.00. - - Earlier seizures in the Strawberry area and all across the city of Los Santos have been proven effective in reducing the sale of illegal drugs, and weapon trafficking, with earlier seizures, individually totaling up to $200,000.00 - the last big seizure being in April of this year. The trend of drug possession has been heavily reduced as the Gang and Narcotics Division, as well as Patrol Officers with new initiatives, crack down on drug manufacturing and trafficking.

A bit of a paradox here. It is realistic for cops to respond in such a large number, and it unrealistic for a street gang or mafia per se to chase someone in a convoy - in a large grouping. The police will always have the upper hand, as it should, as it does in real life, and the reason the rules are so direct and stifling is because people only promote realism when it suits them. The whole argument here is, if we can't have it, they can't either, and if they have it, we should have it as well which is a very bad narrative to spread in these instances. The rules have progressed immensely and as someone who felt what the rules were like in 2019 (which is what you are pushing for with this topic) on their own skin, we are in a much better place. Someone has to keep the gangs in check so they don't go out of control and turn the server into a TDM - police in an in-character setting, and sadly, the rules, since the community, specifically past (un)official criminal factions had different ideas compared to Faction Services and executive staff I can imagine.

+1. I feel this is not an intended feature, and if it is, removing it should be even easier.
