Allowance of LDO cameras

[Normal]

with all the cameras around the map, i feel pd/sd using ldo to check atm cameras (which are shit realistically) to try to gather extra info because the actual ic cameras didnt catch it is wild, i feel you should only be able to check the cameras that actually record and not be able to ldo any person about what a camera would see, after the fact of a scene info (if it was a long scene) can get hazy and lead to incorrect ldo responses, i say we should just stick to the actual ic cameras that require a laptop and do away with these random ldo cameras...

This is a horrible take. You're essentially saying, "this sounds silly, let's take away roleplay from a roleplay server so I can get away with crimes better". 

-1, roleplaying camera's is a very much normal thing that has been happening for years, furthermore, ATM's would realistically have cameras. as a lot of them do in real life.

facial recognition cameras that can see decently from close up not 30 feet away see perfectly , your take that they are realistic is correct, but they dont use them realistically

alternatively, criminal activity could be restricted to secluded areas that do not have surveillance equipment

Id have to disagree with this one. Scripted cameras are an approximation of what happened. It's a scripted recreation of a car or a person, but it's extremely buggy and inaccurate to what actually happened in game.

 

Ldo camera rp allows for a back and forth conversation, allowing the person being ldo'd to respond in a way they think is reasonable. If you think an ldo request is too "powergamingy" discuss it with the player who sent it, intentionally be vague, or ask for staff to assist. I've been on both sides of it, and the person responding is more or less in control of the outcome. Use that.

-1. Citys are full of cameras, realistically u have one on every corner, if there is a camera in the gta world in that location it should be used, or just make every camera in the game usable, but then again easier to just rp it and move on.
