I'm going to cut straight to the chase and then go into some details later in the message. Sorry for the long post in advance.
TL:DR : So I've just wasted a good 30-45 minutes of good RP with a medic because of a rule.
I'm frustrated because I took all the RP steps to do it right and the medic (will only give her name if needed) was so awesome ... enjoyed the experience a lot.
I want to really wear a mask(more as a fashion component THIS IS MY OOC REASON) . in game without being bruteforced by any cop that passes by me to take it off .The mask itself (OX BLOOD DOME FILTER) only covers the nose/mouth and my character stands out easily. You could identify me from a mile away. I take it off with RP involved asking them to step back a bit etc. RPing the situation out. And they get even more pissed when I do that.
I tried to RP my way out of it for medical reasons etc. I was confronted by a few cops saying that I should get a license / permit call it what you want. In order to wear a mask " lawfully".
But most times literally 2 seconds of a cop seeing me this happens:
Every cop comes in my face and starts spazzing out saying "TAKE OFF YOUR MASK" 20 times like I'm doing a robbery or some shit. In an angry voice.
Ask me why I'm wearing a mask. Get some RP going, some interaction. I'm bored of this already and I haven't even been here for so long.
Some guy literally showed up and again after 2 seconds..."asked" me to take the mask off. I asked him nicely to tell me why I can't wear one....Without no more RP between us he goes like. " Take it of or I'm gonna fine you / write you a citation or w/e". ( "good RP")
So the RP with the medic ended when the admins or whoever they were. Told the medic that she is not allowed to give me that....After she RPed giving me a notice for my mask.
And....now comes the fun part admin told her that I SHOULD RP WEARING ONE DOING /MY /ME...
How do you RP that? Without the character having an actual mask on his face.....this breaks the RP so hard...it would be such a bad RP experience....it's not even funny. Am I supposed to spam the chat ? /wears a mask for health reasons .....
Anyway here are the rules I'm talking about
GC06 :
(a) No individual, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, shall:
(1) Be present on foot within public property, or property of the State of San Andreas.
(2) Hold any manner of meeting or demonstration.
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this section are only a general citation if the face obstruction is not removed upon request by a Law Enforcement officer, and if not committed in relation to a crime, whereas then it shall apply to GM#20.
(c) The provisions of subsection (a) do not apply if the concealment is done during masquerades and other entertainment events that are deemed appropriate by the city (such as Halloween), or where there's reasonable cause e.g. motorcycle protection or medical reasons.
(d )Individuals that are continuously stopped and written up for GC-06 will be liable for prosecution for failure to comply at the discretion of the handling officer. This would also result in the GC - 06 escalating to a GM - 20.
This turned out into more of a rant than it should have been.
I understand that people will still wear masks they are there for a reason.
My problem is with every cop coming into my face and ruining my RP that I'm having with someone.
I would be having a good RP with others at times and out of nowhere a cop would see me....turn back from their way and start spitting into my face...yelling at me to take my mask off.
