That is like ~7-10 PM in the NA (depending on time zone) I would hardly call this an "off time", in fact, that is a prime time to play for a lot of NA players. If cops cannot be bothered to show up during that time period that just reinforces the need for an automated version if anything.

Most players are on around 5PM UTC I would say as a guess. Only think I can suggest is to go to PD and ask them to come or don’t get your car impounded.

PurplePlant Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 I think it would be a very simple script that could be added to avoid this. Have an automated license checking machine that allows the person to swipe their license and it will determine if the car can be released or not based on if it's suspended or not. This however, cannot but used until you have "called" the police and they did not "respond" with an accept, similar to all the other scripts currently such as TAXI and Mechanic (all of which require an accept and not leave people hanging) this way you can safely say, no one is coming I will swipe my license and get on my way.
Marca Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 There's already too much automation as is, so no thanks.

Why should the timezone matter, there should be a system allowing players to get their cars without waiting 2 hours just because the whole PD is sleeping.
MADEINCUBA05 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 I think that impound idea is great to a point what i mean if the police came to release than yes but they have stop coming i waited 3 IRL hours and nothing no show
Donovan Posted August 27, 2020 Report Posted August 27, 2020 Hey, I am aware that this suggestion has been brought up in the past, but I think its time for it to be re-visited. As the crim updates kick in a lot more people are found active with their gameplay, both crim wise and ems wise, which sometimes results in periods where people spend an hour waiting for an officer to release the vehicle that was just illegaly parked which doesnt seem fair considering PD irl doesnt even handle impound yet people spend their irl hours waiting for it. As I played and still play both sides for quite some time now( Crim and PD ) I think I can speak for both, now lets move on to the suggestion itself: The way I suggest impound to be scripted is fairly simple, impounding vehicles should remain the same, but release should be as follows: An NPC should be placed in a booth object at impound, once a player approaches him and selects the vehicle from the list ( for example same menu from garages used in houses ), the script checks if they have any charges placed on them and if their drivers license is valid, if they do, they are told that the release is impossible at this time and sends a call to PD/SD ( Depending on Impound location ) same way the shipment calls come in. If they do not seem to have a valid license, they are instructed to renew it at DMV and come after they have obtained a valid drivers license. In case of them being clean, NPC releases their selected vehicle with them paying the fee as they do at the moment in case vehicle hasnt been safely impounded. I feel that this way both sides would be happy, as PD/SD could focus on more hands on approach with the calls and crime, while players can have a guaranteed release if they meet conditions to do so instead of waiting for a cop to come by, especially in dead hours where there are few units on duty sometimes none for SD in the early hours. 5 5

Conner Posted August 27, 2020 Report Posted August 27, 2020 +1 Being on the receiving end of this issue as a crim, there's been times where I have waited over 1 hour 30 mins IRL and still no one came. If a PD / SD officer that's on duty see's your name and doesn't like you, just know they aint coming to assist you. But as always PD / SD related it's an "IC Issue". Even though you spend real IRL hours in prison, then even more hours just tryna get your vehicle back there's limits on it being IC in my opinion.
Xoza Posted August 28, 2020 Report Posted August 28, 2020 +/- Please find and revive / support the already existing suggestion. We are attempting to consolidate suggestions so they are better viewed and taken into consideration. I can support this a bit, the following I believe would be required however, since the impound would be manned by Law Enforcement. Owner must be nearby. Owner must have a drivers license. Owner must not have any unpaid tickets. Owner must not have any warrants. 1 5

Capone. Posted September 10, 2020 Report Posted September 10, 2020 +1, this would be nice and saves a lot of time just standing around waiting.
JulesInfinity Posted September 12, 2020 Report Posted September 12, 2020 +1 | SD is often busy with other things to do, or things that are being prioritised. This would be a nice addition and a quality of life improvement.
Demonyk Posted September 25, 2020 Report Posted September 25, 2020 +1, leaves alot of time wasted that could be better used to RP
Drizzy. Posted September 25, 2020 Report Posted September 25, 2020 Yeah, think it being automated with the options to set settings like requirements like valid drivers etc etc as mentioned in previous comments can be a great step forward.
