If you mean the Irish Tavern, they came for Jonathan Allen who had a murder charge on him. The other member, (Dwayne I believe) was just a bonus. Otherwise, I'm not sure - but SWAT's deployed for any warrants deemed dangerous, e.g. known gang members / dangerous individual with prior records of violent crime, If a dangerous individual has an outstanding warrant on them, SWAT will come because of that sole reason. If Police Officers are breaking our Fear RP rule, I encourage you to report them, they have to abide by the rules like any player and they get punished if they don't follow the rules. Although I am not familiar with it being common that officers are reported and punished for breaking server rules, we do take it quite seriously in the LSPD when they get punished for breaking server rules and it has led to suspensions/demotions & discharges. This is the Fear RP rules that LSPD should follow, like any other player: All of LSPD's vehicles only come with 100% fuel, unlike some factions like DCC. When we have a helicopter out (which is not always, unfortunately), they often have to return and refuel. SWAT members are not unkillable, their protection is just for visuals and they are almost like your regular officer. I don't think you look at the bigger picture, there are many, many incidents each day where LSPD is completely wiped. SWAT members rarely get time to go into their SWAT gear when responding to an active situation, but you will commonly see 5-6 officers or less if they are doing a pre-planned operation. I encourage you to join the LSPD and you'll get a first-hand experience how our body armor means very little. The Police Department already has a faction treasury that receives funding from the government. If the developers want to script it so that weapons and ammunition are taken from the funding, that is no problem. Funding from the government is based on all income from the server, all legal factions are funded by the government. You do have to understand though that in a developed country (that we RP being in), a Police Department in a city like Los Santos wouldn't run around under geared or without ammunition, there will always be sufficient funding to cover those expenses. A very small portion of the Police Department has access to a bigger gun than a shotgun, and getting access to a shotgun requires at least 1,5 months in PD with a no disciplinary record, good activity, and performance. And even so, they need to apply for certification and are held to heavy regulations. The portion of PD that has access to bigger guns is SWAT & Sergeants+ (Sergeants has Carbine and MP5, no sniper), the only one who has a Sniper is SWAT. Talking more about regulations and procedures, to get into SWAT you are heavily regulated and forced to attend weekly training to keep your weapons certifications. It also takes a long time to get into SWAT, and recruitment is very competitive. We have about 9 Sergeants right now, it's very difficult to become one and it will take you months of being in PD and doing all the extra responsibilities to get there. Due to script limitations, officers have no other means than respawning their car. Realistically, police cars (and most company cars these days) are equipped with GPS systems so that the car can be tracked 24/7, PD can't even use the command that players use to track their own cars. There was a lot brought up, I think I covered most of it. I think at the end of the day, you should try to join PD and see for yourself how things work. It's a heavily regulated faction with long and detailed processes to advance into different branches of the faction.

I think you are the last person to talk about RP quality, Hoxton. https://streamable.com/0mofc OT: As Enzo said, PD is heavily regulated both IC and OOC, we send constant reminders about RP quality to our members. If you've got an incident where you disagree with the RP, or if you disagree In Character, file an Internal Affairs report and it will be investigated, we've got many investigators in Internal Affairs now investigating both IC and OOC reports. Officers are held accountable both IC and OOC and if someone is falsely put in prison, they are compensated.

Our staff uses common sense and deals with things case to case basis. With criminal activity, we don't mean something petty like speeding to get away from robbers/attackers, that rule is more aimed at, for example, you murder someone and their "gang" witnesses it so they chase you down, and you seek protection in an NCZ. Another example is if you're robbing someone and it backfires, and you escape the situation into an NCZ. For your second question, I'm not sure how that's related to an NCZ. No one should be shooting at you in an NCZ, and if that event happened outside of an NCZ it would be the police dealing with that In Character. If someone shoots you in an NCZ, don't attack back, two wrongs don't make a right, document it and report them. If you cannot record, you can simply spam F8 to take screenshots In-Game.

Hello, if you post a punishment appeal on the forums I can help you look into this. If you were being chased by a group trying to rob you, and you make it into a No Crime Zone, it's not against our rules. However, if you had engaged in criminal activity, you wouldn't be in the right to go into an NCZ. That's what our rules currently state,

Date and time (provide timezone): Sunday, 24th of March.

FIB/FBI has never worked on any of the role-play servers that I've played on (SA-MP). Either actual duties of a federal agent is nonexistent or there's not enough of it, you have to take into consideration that San Andreas is closed, there's no countries or other states around us, there are no federal laws, there are just state laws, and terrorism is not allowed on the server. We also have no plans of opening any new legal factions anytime soon, instead of trying to create a new faction that will end up doing what another faction already does, if you are interested in investigative work - apply for the LSPD and work your way into the Investigations Office, and become a Detective. We've got gangs & narcotics, VICE and robbery & homicide, all which can suit your needs and already does what you want to do.

Hello. This is an In Character issue, the law was created In Character. Please contact a government official through https://gov.eclipse-rp.net, preferably Ramon Carter or Sebastian Freeman as they manage the laws of San Andreas. Thank you! - Osborn.

Yes, you can still type in chat normally, it doesn't affect N or M.

+1. The regular ATMs around the city already has a deposit limit, the bank ATMs has none.

Hey, I support this idea. I've previously suggested improved fishing and involving boats in the mix. Add fish crates in different sizes, e.g. small / medium / large which can be placed on boats. Add different schools of fish in different locations and rotate where they appear, in these schools you can fish from a boat and obviously it would be better fish than if you fished from the mainland. Allow for the illegal fishing of sharks / whales etc. if you have a boat to support it, e.g. a tugboat is required.

Hello, all legal factions are actively trying to recruit. A new legal faction is not on the radar, we have enough faction as it is trying to get staffed, both PD/MD/DOC along with DCC/LSC and Bayview. I also know that the leader of LSEMS have recruited people "off the street" if they prove that they can RP. Check #weazel-news-feed to see faction advertising.

Police Corruption is already disallowed in LSPD and warrants removal from the faction. They can request for corruption permission from me if their character story justifies it, as we advocate for good and proper character development. "Chief of Police threatening to put you and bunch of people in jail for 24/hrs for “questioning” Doesn't sound right, because I've not been online to RP much on my police character because I'm helping out in both weazel and LSEMS until they get more members. I'd love to see some video footage of me saying this, otherwise, I suppose we can dismiss this allegation. Example: 3+ Hours of Admin Jail, and the offence should be linked to all their accounts so they may never be able to join PD or another Law Enforcement faction again. (Servers do this) " We have no intention of disallowing corruption in the server rules because we believe in role-playing and good character development. There are corrupt police officers In Real Life, and there will be corrupt police officers on Eclipse RP, albeit, very rarely. Taking your weapons away for no reason and “losing them” when high key they are probably shooting at half of us with the same weapons that we bought We have no scripted storage locker, officers are forced to destroy weapons and other items they get from players. There's no point in officers using weapons from suspects, they have plenty of weapons available in the faction. Camping at Drug Labs and Raiding Drug Labs without presenting a warrant. Destroying Drug Labs without warrants There are already internal faction rules that dictate that they cannot enter drug labs without having a proper reason to do so. If they get a 911 call or a report in a different form about a crime happening in a location, they are obligated to investigate. And if they find a drug lab, they are obligated to destroy it as equipment to manufacture drugs are illegal. “Random” Trace Phone ID’s. I’m from the UK but i’m pretty sure there’s a supreme court ruling stating that police need a valid search warrant before obtaining location data (trace peoples phone ID) Let them at least obtain our phone number or give us the ability to change it Random Phone Traces are not a thing, we have no court in the server as of right now and this is not based in the UK. A very select few have the ability to trace phone numbers and there are IC regulations dictating when they can and can't trace a phone number. There is also OOC internal rules in the LSPD that dictates how they should role-play it. Players can already avoid having their phone traced by simply turning it off. If you are unhappy with the conduct of an officer IC or OOC, you can use this https://gov.eclipse-rp.net/viewforum.php?f=24 and report them and we can determine if they acted according to rules or not.

This is an internal faction rule that I created in PD and not a server rule (in terms of drug labs). We will discuss in PD leadership about extending the rule to chop shops, but I cannot make any promises. But you do have to realize that in terms of chop shops, all it takes is one person reporting their car stolen and now officers have a reason to go to the chop shop, to try and intervene a stolen car. The same principle applies for drug labs, out internal rule only regulates that officers need to have an IC reason to go to a lab. As for this suggestion, I would like to see a revamped chop shop system with multiple locations and different vehicle demands in different locations, and have the demand rotate between locations, very much like GTA San Andreas chop shops if anyone played that game.

This is exactly our intention. Oh and, you're apart of the problem why we implemented this if you think it's fun to do this. Maybe.. drive realistically No Crime Zones and this wouldn't be an issue. Now you will get arrested in the future and lose 93k+ in fines. We cannot do automatic cruise control because there are circumstances when a vehicle will drive faster than 70. I am going to repeat myself: This is something we added for more of an OOC reason than IC, to solve an OOC problem with automation. The amount of reckless driving around these 4 No Crime Zones are happening to an unrealistic extent, thus measures had to be taken. This became more apparent to us with the wave of new players. Once there is a significant improvement in driving at these locations, then there are always opportunities for changes. We do not intend on lowering the fine or adding a cooldown period.

There is also plans to remove the automation of firearms licenses and add more factors to it. We've already got it set up, pending scripting. This is to encourage criminals to interact with other criminals and get their guns illegally rather than trying to own a firearms license. The LSPD division is ready, scripting is pending. Oh and side note, I'm also a gun store owner and I think this change would be great!

Hello. This is Zetas' faction thread and not a place for you to debate what you think is right or wrong. If you feel that someone has broken our server rules, post a player report - if you feel that someone's RP standards aren't up to par, reach out to the faction leader or a member from "Faction Management" with your complaints. If you want to have a discussion about a situation, use the discussion forum and be civilized. Thank you!

Hey, if you use AutoHotkey, you can create an AHK script that remaps the key. This is what I use: #IfWinActive RAGE Multiplayer XButton2::n return XButton1::m return That changes my VOIP key to Mouse4 and radio to Mouse5.

They are in the 4 most populated no crime zones. The bank. The hospital. Tequila La La. The police station.

We wanted speed cameras to function as they do right now to solve an OOC & IC problem with automation. The amount of reckless driving in No Crime Zones is no longer realistic, it's unrealistic. Yes, people drive recklessly In Real Life and it could happen in these areas, but I cannot stress it enough that it's happening to an unrealistic amount and it became more apparent to us with the recent wave of new players. We understand that speed cameras don't detect who's driving the car In Real Life and that it sends you a ticket home (registered owner), and I am certain that our developers intend on making changes to the camera system in the future when we see significant improvement in driving in these areas. OP wanted this so that he could race in these 4 locations that we have speed cameras in, but there shouldn't be any racing in these areas, to begin with.

Hello. You have to understand that we weren't prepared for this huge influx of new players over the course of this week. We've always staffed our team with the amount we feel is sufficient to manage the community. As of right now, we've got 1,800 pending applications into the server, yesterday we had ~1300 and we brought it down to 1000 in a few hours, it's obviously more than what the team can manage, on top of taking care of the community In-Game. We are working on solving the staffing issue and making sure that we can swiftly and efficiently manage the community. We're currently in the process of interviewing community members who applied for our Support Team and got accepted, that process should be done soon and we should be seeing 15-20 new support members. We also created a Quiz Management team recently which we are still actively staffing, the intention with this team is to allow support and above to focus more on the game itself and help people directly In-Game, the past few days have been stressful for us and forced all of our staff to assist with player applications. We also recently took on more moderators who are all in training, they will soon be ready to take on reports and handle situations on their own. We intend on moving more support up to moderators in the near future, but because of how our recruitment and training process works, we can only take on so many at the time. I can only encourage you to keep reporting those who deliberately break our server rules. We encourage our staff to send people back to the character application stage if they show that they are incapable of role-playing, following and/or understanding our server rules. I hope that somewhat eases your mind, - Osborn.

Literally everywhere in the city is free for you to race in but 4 of the most populated locations in the city. Besides, it's an NCZ which you should not be racing in at all.

Hey. The implementation of speed cameras is more of an OOC solution than IC. We understand that this is not how cameras work In Real Life but we made the decision to have them function as they do for the sole reason of solving an OOC problem. The amount of reckless driving around these very public and populated areas is unrealistic, we understand that it may happen once in a while that a car drives past the biggest bank or hospital going 150+ but that's not the case on Eclipse, it happens all the time. After the great influx of new players, this problem became more apparent to us than ever as we'd always come to these areas and find 3-6 people injured because of a car going too fast. Edit: One could argue, "Why don't administrators hand out admin punishments?" and while yes that is a valid argument, we instead wanted to add an automated solution and somewhat make it In Character. I am sure that in the future when we see significant improvement in driving in these areas, will the speed cameras be adjusted in terms of how they work.
