To be fair, it does seem to be a bit questionable to be wearing a bodycamera as a gang member. I think you would struggle to find a career criminal in the hood going around with a bodycamera on his person. If anything, they'd be shot for it. It's mainly cops and civilians that wear them. I'm not against people having to do some extra work if they wish to wear them, except when it makes sense to be provided by an employer (including DCC, Weazel, etc)
Yes I 100% agree, When I do my recording RP I never use bodycam because for a criminal if caught you are beat with your own evidence, I use dashcam RP that has loop deleting build into the RP. Which should be allowed, and allong with this
5 minutes ago, Cyrus Raven said:The long-term suggestion would be the following:
Make a slot dedicated to the bodycam in the inventory and a bodycam item purchasable in 24/7s, then people no longer need to worry about RP'ly purchasing a bodycam every 48 hours (Let's be honest, how realistic is it to buy a new bodycam every 2 days).
It should be made that way, either add a physical ingame item its non RP to need to buy one every 2 days. I use a dash cam IRL and it was 20$ and has lasted me nearly 2 years.

Josh - Backstory
Chapter 1 - BallasIt all started as most things do, a man in a new city, experiencing something different for the first time. When first moving in, I did not know what part I wanted to play while in the city. Bouncing from job to job I never really felt myself, I felt out of place. I started looking for different "opportunities" in the city. So I started building my record with the government. First month in the city I got caught robbing a store and made the "Smart" decision to shoot at the police. Once inside the city's prison I met a man named [REDACTED]. We started talking and he told me he had the opportunity I was looking for. He told me he was a high command in a group called the Front Yard Ballas. Skip ahead a few months and things are going perfect. I joined the gang and started getting higher in the ranks and started to get a small name for myself. This did not last long as Vory and WCA moved in. Over the next month Ballas were in and out of war every day with Zetas, Vory, WCA, and an impersonator group called the Royals. At the time I was ignorant to the future and stuck with it all as brothers should do and continued on doing what I had to do to make ends meet.
Another fast forward, Ballas are near their end. Internal drama eating away at the inside of the gang and the constant fighting and loss eating away at the outside of the gang from WCA, we were dead in the water. In a last ditch effort to end the war and try to rebuild, our leader [REDACTED] cut a deal with WCA leaders. The deal was simple, [REDACTED] was to give WCA key grove street houses at a discounted price for them to "stop" the war. But WCA only kept their side of the deal for 7 hours, then the war was back on. At this point we were depleted, our block was gone, we were losing members quicker than we could recruit and our internal economy was gone. So we did the last think we felt was necessary before laying the name to rest. We fought WCA at their home.
Chapter 2 - Crimson
After Ballas fell, the leftover members did not know what to do. During my time in the gang I had gotten very close with the person who originally brought me in, [REDACTED]. Over the next week we started talking with another member we were close with, [REDACTED]. During this time we were all feeling the pain of what happened and not wanting to let the spark die out, so we got to work. We felt that even if the name Ballas died out we would not let the energy and brotherhood die with it. This is when me, and two high ranking members from Ballas decided to form Crimson Syndicate.
This became a passion to get started by us three. We started with the groundwork. We decided our goal’s, our motives, our colors and looks, and who we wanted to bring on first. This starting process lasted about three days then we got into recruiting. The first round of recruitment was easy, we already had trusted members from the Ballas era. So within the week we were pushing 10-15 active members. But around this time we got into our first conflict with another group. The name is so forgettable I don't remember it now but it was over colors and claims. With our first round of explosive recruitment we felt strong and started throwing our weight at people who stood in our way. This led to over the next few months being in and out of “war”. This was also about the time I was starting to mature in the city and started seeing a pattern with this group of people I was rolling with. Then in the same fashion as Ballas, Crimson started going down hill. We started getting into wars with bigger groups along with a clap crew formed with ex WCA.
War with the Shelby’s:
War with Murda block/Book club and the Explosions AKA Donut Gang:
All this war, I started disagreeing with, started to lead to internal problems. Me and the “leader” [REDACTED] started having disagreements which lead to problems between us followed by uncertainty. Being one of the three founders and being second in command you would think I should have “power” and “authority” over the ranks below me but [REDACTED] ran things in a different way. [REDACTED] started to feel I did not deserve what I was. For example, when we started building a gang funds, [REDACTED] the “Leader” could not hold it because he was in and out of jail. But when I offered to hold the money because I had a big safety-net of money in case I went to jail and in general stayed out of prison I was denied. Instead it was given to a recruit called Jordan Baxtor, Which I disagree with but [REDACTED] insisted. Lone behold, Jordan spent the money on a new car for himself and left the gang. After this situation I was denied again from holding the gang money after offering. This is about the time I started losing interest in the gang as a whole and wanted to distance myself from the people I called family. But like a “leader” I was trying to be, I stuck with it. But I was never given any grace for my choices to stay around because time after time [REDACTED] put lower members and even non-member ahead of me with power and say. Even in situations where [REDACTED] put people in front of me that the Zeta’s said if they were caught around us it would start a war, [REDACTED] still kept them around and allowed them to down talk me and make calls. [REDACTED] after I constantly pressured them to tell me why I was being treated the way I was decided to hold a “meeting” to tell me why in front of the whole gang even though I wanted it to be a one on one conversation to degrade/belittle me. This led to them basically telling me if I don't agree with everything they say I was not going to be able to do what I should be able to do. After this mentally I was hurt, the people I called family started turning on me because they only wanted one say with no other opinions. Just like Ballas. So I started to be complacent, I just went with the flow for the most part but continued to be a “leader” with the little power I had.
Sadly this all ended in the worst way It could. One night when me and a few other member were sitting on a freq after we just change it, I heard Will, a person who was a lower ranking member, non-command, and a person [REDACTED] put over me said on the radio “Hey, Don't give Josh the frequency” to me responding “What are you talking about” to just hear laughing followed by silence. This hit hard, I was betrayed after all I did for the people I felt were family for such a long time. This sent me into a depression. I had no future insight and nowhere to go, and even after trying to talk to [REDACTED] about the reason this happened, told me
“Good luck with where you try to go.”
Even though I know they had a part in it.
Chapter 3 - Lost
After I put space between myself and my old family I felt lost. The only people I trusted did not trust me, they did not want me around, and they threw me out to the streets alone. Over the next few days I felt weird, no freq to get onto, nobody to speak with and no goal to work towards. So I started sleeping a lot more. This lasted weeks until I heard of a new splinter group forming from Triad command. This group is called Four Seas Order, or FSO for short. So I started texting Jay, the leader of FSO, to try to become a trial. In my mind I felt if people from one of the most successful groups form a splinter group they are bound to succeed. I was dealing with group’s that went nowhere fast. So when I got the text from Jay to meet him at Triad HQ. I got excited, When I arrived it was only me and Jay and we started talking. He said “more people will be arriving soon so hang out”. I was eager and ready to do what was needed, well until I saw who the “other” people were. My anger grew when I saw the people driving in, all the people who treated me like trash from crimson. Then to add a cherry on top, the leader of crimson [REDACTED] said “Oh, so all MY members are coming here” when he saw me. This sent me into even more anger, But because of the opportunity at hand I let it go. Live and let live I told myself. After having a meeting with everyone who arrived, we all got given trial colors and told our plan/goal. For the next few days things went off without a hitch, we were making moves as a group. Helping the Zetas, Triads, and Aztecas. From my Point of view everything was going as it should, until I started hearing negative things about me from some people here and some people there.
On our last day as trials, Jay pulled me aside and mentioned how other trials had told him that I was going in with nothing and leaving with stuff I did not earn and how I was stealing from others. I was taken back by this and was even more thrown off when he told me I would not be moving forward with the other trials. Somehow, I was the only person who “messed” up during the trial week. But then it hit me, I overheard some of the old Crimsons members talking to Jay before this meeting and during the week, along with a few people telling me the same group was basically running my name through the mud. At this point I wanted to be mad, I wanted to be angry and go tell them what's on my mind, but I didn't. At this point I had given up, lost hope and all around did not know what to do with myself. Even when trying to get a new family the people I tried separating myself from stabbed me in the back again. I got so frustrated and sad I wanted to end it all but I could not do that to myself. So I left. I bought a one way ticket out of the city and did not look back. Month after month went by and I never set foot in the city. I paid my bills for my houses but never used them. I would get text after text from the very people who made me leave asking when I would come back and if they could have my assets. Again, cherry on top.
Chapter 4 - Acceptance
About 5-6 months had passed since I last stepped foot in Los Santos. I had forgotten all the anger, pain, and grief the city left me with since the last time I was around. I was browsing the internet when I got an ad for cheap one-way tickets to in and around the Los Santos area. I decided it would be nice to fly in and see how things are going. After flying in massive differences were apparent immediately. I went from being considered “poor” in the low tax brackets to being in the highest bracket in the city. I had a car waiting in mor's that was usually a 3k job which was now 9k. But this was just the money, there were no more Zetas or Triads in sight. I soon found out the Zetas disbanded followed by the Triads. This was weird to me because ever since I got my green card, both these groups had been the “rulers” of the city.
After spending a few days here and there adapting to the city I got the itch again to start making moves and working towards a goal. My personal goal was to start making money again but mainly to get into a new group, with new faces who I can start building a family with. Even though Alicia was not a new face to me, she was the first person I contacted. Within the day I got a text back and over the next week or so we would message back and forth, talking about opportunities and possible recruitment. She informed me that at the time recruitment was closed because Aztecas, LFM, GD were at war with Triads and others. So in the meantime I made money while waiting for recruitment to open up. I started making money from renting my places and working at DCC. I was able to get my bank up and get a few key vehicles, along with getting my BLS license to help once I become a recruit. Then I finally got the text that would start my next chapter in the city.
“Hola vato! Recruitment is open again if you are still interested! Come up to Paleto so we can get things worked out!” - Alicia
Things started moving quickly, and within no time I was a trial and started working with all of the Aztecas and LFM.
Here's to the chapter's that will come and go!

@Ultra3D There is no real difference in pay between the different legal faction jobs. In fact, it's a lot harder to get higher paychecks in jobs like PD/SD/DOC due to more in-depth promotion systems. I have now worked at PD for nearly 5 months, and worked at DCC for more than a year - it took me less than two months to have a higher paycheck than what I have not at PD after more than double that time.
I disagree, I have been in almost every faction and PD/SD is the best for money because it fun but at LSC you are literally sitting for hours doing nothing.

Depends, i made 480k in 1 chcek at LSC.That go back's to how much you want something and how many hours you work.I fortunately have online school so i can do my homework and put in hours at the same time.
I get that but that 480k was easily over 30-40 hours. and that cant even get you a 2g anymore. Or atleast a good one.

+1 to all, but please on the next crim update dont give everything to officials because 90% cant get into officials because of the member limit

Now the whole server is sitting at the pier, if they add boats and stuff to fish in the ocean.. well, then the city will become a ghost town.
thats because theres no much else that makes money, and I cant even do that because Im in the highest tax bracket

I mean, if you want something and you’re motivated to get it like, I just got my drag and my apartment 2 things that you said that are hard to get like 2 weeks ago. By doing a legal job at LSC and DCC.
how long did that take you? because people at PD/SD/DOC are making hundreds of thousands per "check"

They increased the likelihood of drug tables exploding. The profits are down 50% as well with the turf update lowering prices for all drugs. There was a bug before where tables never blew up. Now everyone I know is having their tables explode at low temperatures. Also with the black market closed for weeks and all these explosions almost nobody can get a hold of more tables. Crim RP economy is really rough right now.
It always has been for not officials

Its almost impossible to make money as a criminal unless you are in a group thats "official". I stopped playing a while back and when I came back I went from being in a low tax bracket to the highest. This along with no good way of making money stunts the criminal money influx.

I think a better solution would be to make a cash an inventory item that you can drag/drop/etc.
See something like this would make more sense aswell, I really dont care how it happens but we need a new system for transferring the money when robbing/taking money off people.

I am not saying that it will change your RP of the situation. I am simply stating that it will go in direct help of people who are ignoring the RP during robberies and relay on the script. It's not something that one or two people are doing sadly, and although I can see how it'll benefit others there'll be a lot of times where it'd help others to just do the script and run.
I am not completely against it as I know the struggle of someone damaging your RP or stalling on something that you'd have the realistic chances of doing faster.
I agree, if this were added it would make lazy peoples rp lazier but I do feel that there should be some way to get the cash without needing to tell someone oocly to transfer the money

I did read the whole post. Let me give you the script of robbereies:
"Hands up, hands up, hands up!"
/frisk ID
(/friskapprove was given)quickly taking the items from one inventory to another, taking the cash too. Ignoring looking for it, taking out from a wallet and all and taking it.
If staff decides that this is worth a staff discussion and then put in the game, sure, but it's gonna bring an equal amount of pros and cons.
No you did not read it then, this is what I said
1. Initiate a robbery
2. Get to the point where you /frisk ID
"Get to the point where you /frisk" This is the RP point where you rp patting them down checking for items etc, the quality of RP depends on the person. If you do "hands hands" and do basic RP thats you but adding script does not stop the RP prior which I would still do. -

-1, seen it before, got denied for the same reason. It's an RP server, it's already enough that people run around, taking the items from injured people without RP (not everyone, but the people I've seen), they just frisk and take the weapons they have and the stuff they have.
I've seen people going around and just doing the less RP possible, with that they'll just ignore it.
I support your idea, as law enforcement officer I've had situations (before packed money) in which it would've helped a lot, but it got denied for the fact that it will help the server turn into script RP (if you can even call it that)
Thats not what Im saying read the whole post, when you do the RP follow the robbery rules and get the friskapprove and get into their inventory you get the cash then through script instead of saying " do /pay ID $" . Its not RP to need to oocly tell them to transfer money. Adding script helps the RP.

yes I agree, but that is not the solution to it. there is /report command in game and there are the forums.
I think there would be a better system but not the one you explained.
But like I stated that does not give you the money/items and reporting every day gets old and takes from the experience.

-1, I mean if they were to make an item of cash but that type of system is bad and id rather have it like how it is. its an rp server after all, you need to rp and robbery's require so little rp so I would recommend staying with what there is now.
I want more RP not less. But when you are robbing someone and they just stall so you cant get the money its ruining the rp

-1, even though I somewhat agree, I dont want everything that I can currently do becoming non RP. This is a game we play to try and have fun and the more "realism" you being in compromises on the fun aspect. Not everything should be NRP.
