    I agree with the negatives you made eg the law enforcement hindrance, but i also think this could be fixed with a /checkVIN command - it means if law enforcement atually find the vehicle, they can check the VIN, but if the criminal manages to drive away and escape, they don't.

    Yeah that’s the kind of thing I meant with the bit about inspecting for tampering, a way to identify through rp and investigation if they do find it to have some sort of breadcrumbs to pursue more rp from. But if it gets away then fair play so I agree!

  2. Could work pretty well

    An action timer and 30-60 seconds to remove it similar to chopping but just with a screwdriver in inventory

    It drops in your inventory as an item called “plates XXXXXXXX”

    and can either be put back on yourself or by a mechanic maybe for more rp for them

    Possible issues are probably on the technical level depending on how reliant the MDC and vehicle scripts are on license plates.

    Also possible hindrance for law enforcement RP, so maybe taking plates off and putting them back on yourself would have evidence of tampering that law enforcement could investigate should they find the car later but with plates back on.

    Theres also things like speed cameras and mini MDC that would need behaviour changed based on not having plates, or having the wrong swapped plates on a car (since currently they’re tied to the driver and even a bmx without plates can trigger the speed camera). Then there’s the issue of how would they handle vehicles that don’t have a plate model but would realistically have plates such as a lot of motorcycles.

     Overall, could be neat but there’s a bunch of questions that would need answering to make it viable imo, and using a scrap or stolen car with the current system could get you to the same endpoint of making it less easy to track anyway

  3. I imagine this is implemented for when the vehicle is technically floating so when cars are ocean dumped they’re recoverable. This one single stream is just deep enough in parts to trigger this by the looks of it. It’s unfair it happens and an admin would probably recover your car for you in a “/report 2” if this happens but I think it’s an okay compromise to get cars back from the ocean for how rare this issue is

  4. You could try and appeal it:

    But I’ll be honest with you boss, probably not. Should have appealed your initial ban instead of evading.

  5. In both scenarios it just seems stupid to give demands or evade if it’s so obvious what they’re doing? If they didn’t react then there’d be no consequences surely?

    People striving for better realism is a good thing, absolutely not criticising the main parts of your post, I just think the part of them baiting isn’t really on LEOs for attempting it as much as it is criminals for falling for pretty basic entrapment.

  6. I really don’t get into either side of these situations so I’m only gonna comment on one part that seemed odd:

    You say ‘crim baiting’ but how does that work? Cop baiting is a thing because cops *have* to respond to crime, but it doesn’t quite work the other way around right? Can’t people just not take the bait by attacking or chasing them?

  7. Bumping this again now we have casino chips.
    I saw the excuse someone threw around ages back on another suggestion like this about it being at risk of duplicating but that's pretty irrelevant nowadays since stamps can be sold for money, the pawn shop exists, and casino chips exist, all ways a theoretical duper could make bank if a glitch/cheat like that was even possible.
