Tasing from the car seat.

[Dexter Nevermore]

Dear Community,

I know the community is having a hard time. As of late, I've been getting told by cops that crims only shoot and no RP, while crims say cops shoot and no RP. This is what annoys me. I've been playing crim since I joined the server, and it's fun as long as you do it with the right people.

What does that mean, in my case (crim side)?

Example:

I'm having the time of my life in a police cruiser driving down the city and getting chased by the cops. I'm guessing they want this because I blocked them from arresting a crim with an AK, and they go for me in their stolen cruiser instead. I make it through the city, the cops try to PIT me one time, I make it out to Senora Road, and more cops join the pursuit.

At this point, we get to the highway, and there it turns into Bumper Car Festival 2026 (for me, this is still fine). At one point, my car stalls and I run out on foot.

Here comes the point that annoys me for two things:

1. Cops complain they don't get RP with crims.
2. Why would cops complain about having no RP when THEY stop it by doing something so lame it's just not worthy to call RP?

Why, if in my case, Mr. Clint Springer is blocking my front and a cop is dead on my heels, and there are 8 cops in total, does the officer that is in his car still find the need to shoot me with his taser and stop the RP right away? Because for 15 seconds I can't do anything anymore, and the RP is instantly dead. No more trying to run away, no more cops getting out of their car and THEN tasering, lets take this appart in the clip you can see mr spinger getting infront of my far ahead to get out of his term, he can tackle me, he can THEN shoot his taser, he can pull his shotgun, he can do so much, he made me turn down to where other cops were that were already out of there cruisers, but all the potential GONE why A TASER FROM A CAR SEAT.

If we really want to bring back some good RP between crims and cops, take away that they can just fire their taser from their car. There have been a lot of reports this past week about cops doing it. If you don't want to have a long RP, don't join in on the call. Take, for example, a cop shooting his taser through an armored window of an armored truck??? We get slapped on the wrist if we shoot through the back of a Monstro.

I get it if both cars are damaged. Sure, both front windows are gone, take your shot. But if we need better RP between cops and crims, like everyone wants (I hope), then I'd ask the admins and the LFM/ILFM to get on this and work something out. Because if this keeps going, this amazing server, where people make friends and sometimes families, I've been told, will rot to its core and turn into a normal GTA V multiplayer game.

I'm not stupid, and I know cops also have their reasons for shooting tasers from seats. I'd like to hear you as well. But if we don't work out something together... we won't get anywhere.

I'm not saying I get tased from a police car through a window on a daily basis but.... I do!

It used to be enforced as nonRP to taser from a moving vehicle but to my knowledge it’s still enforced as nonRP to shoot a gun through something like the back of a Monstrociti

Only time its allowed to shoot tazers from a vehicle is with the window down or broken, and u are stationary. Any other case is not/should not be allowed.  People will sometimes slip up and make mistakes and they reap the consequences of those actions via the forums.

That was a hell of a shot, whoever it was.

The consequences, are that it stops the rp and I think I can speak for most crims, they dont care we lose stuff, crims are crims, but the crims want rp and having rp stopped every time because of a seated taser is just not it, and taking every cop to forums is just not worth it, cause imma say something and you can do what you want with it. Most people dont go to forums for reports like that anymore, why? Its pointless, reports get denied, people get a soft talked to they should do better and a little later they do it again. And yes people slip up, but you see that there is 3 reports about a "slip up" in the last week, and thats just from the people that are completely done with it, imagine how many times it happens more for people who just dont care anymore and wanne go to prison ASAP and be afk there.

Simple - if it happens report it, tazing through a windshield is unrealistic and a play to win mentality. Opening the window and tazing out of the window is a different story but with a moving car shouldnt happen regardless. 

I always disliked the desync "my windshield is broken" - should just be nothing out the windshield regardless - although argument COULD be made of reaching out and tazing over the mirror forward, that absolutely is valid up close.

So clearly police cannot even be trusted with a tazer.

I remember when FM use to actually train officers in RP. When to take action, when not. 

This is a cultural issue that only staff/admin can fix. If it doesn't get fixed then you know staff/admin either did not even try, or they just aren't capable. 

Can only blame staff for this issue.

I think that if you want to complain about this, you also need to complain about how tasers make you 10x faster than a clean person. It's not fun to chase someone that's stupid quick.
