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

[SneakySniper]

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 drugs make you 10x faster than a clean person. It's not fun to chase someone that's stupid quick.

This isnt enforced, due to "desync"

tasing is a solution to people being unrealistically fast on foot when using drugs; what else are cops supposed to do?

Team work, coordination, teamspeak, infinite load outs, infinite vehicles, heavy armour, awesome guns, other cops on GPS, panic buttons.... the list goes on and on.

If you cant catch crims with the entire weight of the server backing you then you might wanna change professions lol

I think the cops have just a few little tools to help them out, just a few like.

I don't think anyone has a problem with an officer tasing a criminal on foot. The issue raised in this topic was more about pretty much drive-by tasings made by LEOs. Maybe its not a rule break, but it comes across as pretty lazy. I understand that LEOs probably get tired of chasing criminals, some of which can be difficult even when cuffed. Myself included. But in all honesty, I do that because there are times when LEOs use very questionable tactics. Like mentioned in this topic; tasing from their cruisers, through windshields, etc.

I'm sorry to say but everything you listed above is non-sense.

If a person is running on foot 10x faster than any other person, I'm going to stop them with Teamspeak? Have you ever tried to tackle someone that is running away from you? Panic button? Same thing, you're just listing random things.

The only viable ways to stop someone that is running away from you, especially when they're on drugs are the following:

• shoot them in the back
• run them over with a car
• tase them

If cops stopped tasing people and instead did the other things, I expect the complaints would get worse, not better.

The only rule regarding using tasers from vehicles is outlined in the Faction Rules.  There is no rule against a player to tase from a vehicle which is stationary.

[Junny Calder]

I'd rather get shot in the back 25 times and RP the consequences of that, rather than being tased through a windshield while im sitting inside my car or running away on foot.

[theflyingfuck]

(my original comment didnt offer any healthy ways of combating the issues,  just more complaints of how PD should be egged) 

i believe the majority of the remaining community want a revision on what cop standards should be. i also personally believe that crims could use a revision of what their standards are.

Literally lol

[Dexter Nevermore]

Yall turning this onto something its not ment to be... this topic was created to figure out a way between cops and crims for MORE ROLEPLAY, tazing from a car stops rollplay, tazing crims that run away is not even a point in this topic and you should taze a crim that runs away but not from a car. Most of the time this is what happens and its a shame, everyone keeps looking for problems and no one thinks in solutions, from make a just make a report to these are the rules, yea rules are rules, and reports are just a lame way to complain about your bad experience. How about everything takes a deep breath, and we think about a solution that we can bring up with the higher ups so we all can enjoy rp instead or living on forum drive.

 

Therefor i want to state this, its also about the individual player, some cops/crims are known for having a good RP! If I run into let's say Rebecca, May, Clint, Brian, Hope, Charlie or Amir and Nacho, I make sure I do a little extra my best to get some good rp going, 

Some cops/crims if I see them i already know its going to be bad, so I wont go out my way to put my best on, and iknow this counts for both ways ofcourse, but if the individual dont change, nothing changes.
