The impound lot is relatively low priority because it's not a matter of life and death. I don't believe monetary recompense should be used to artificially boost the priority of a less important task. -1 Considering there are often cops just standing around - I don't see this as ringing true. This isn't an isolated situation and it is one that happens all day every day. I would understand if there were loads of vehicle pursuits but what about when 5 cops are just standing around PD? Or something else? Do cops just need better training? Multiple times today even, cops have even been AT the impound lot after doing something, such as impounding a vehicle - but they don't bother to help.

xxxJustTimmy Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) +1 They really need to just reword the whole impound system.. I've waited 2+ hours IRL too many times to count.. its really non RP at that point and the amount of times I go to PD and ask for a cop to come release my car its just cadets sitting there doing nothing because they cant do anything without permission.. #LetTheCadetsWorkImpound Edited April 10, 2019 by xxxJustTimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isBrainDed Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 -1 If you have to wait little bit to get your vehicle let out of impound, especially after if you were in a chase and your vehicle was impounded, is currently the only decent punishment people receive and what Alex said above.

I would say the prison sentence is the punishment... not waiting for hours irl for something that RP'ly would be staffed constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isBrainDed Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I don't believe the prison sentence is enough of the punishment, which is why I think with the addition of the impound, it makes it somewhat better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that it's simply not RP. Just because a player deserves punishemtna nd a system punishes a player doesn't mean it should happen. Consider the RP of it and how it would happen in a realistic situation. Police irl don't just force released criminals to wait ages for their vehicle for no reason.

Desiro Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 No they are taken to the towing companies yard or police impound, depending on the situation. If we impound for just incorrect parking we should release. The fine is punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copes Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 +1. I have no problem waiting a bit for an officer to get around to it. However, the issue arises when people wait upwards of 2+ hours real time. I've had a period of time where I spent and hour or so at impound for three days straight waiting for an officer to care. There are countless times where officers drive right past and aren't engaging in a call. Either re-work the impound system or give them some sort of benefit to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femo Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 +1 somehow you need to make the process faster, as other people have mentioned waiting too long is non rp. IRL you go get the paperwork done and then get your car out of parking easily because there are responsible people assigned to the job at place. giving rewards will definitely improve the process speed as it encourages the officers to do the job.

isBrainDed Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yes, but by the time you all people served, your IC age would probably be 200 years old by now. There is no consequences for going to prison every day apart from spending 2 hours in it max, and if you are abusing the system and you have 0 money in your bank account, you are also avoiding the fines.

Criminals are always bringing up this suggestions saying that its non rp that people have to wait 2 IRL hours waiting to do stuff ( and other suggestions ), while they themselves, getting arrested every day should be classed as non rp.

Criminals being arrested is non rp? Maybe they're just bad criminals? Anyway it really isn't the relevancy of this topic. Nobody is talking about prison sentences or even criminals - this applies to people that simply had their car impounded for parking or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not Non-RP at all. Think of the cases IRL where criminals re-offend and are bound to that lifestyle. Some criminals are smart and avoid it, others get caught up and face the consequences. As for your point about the consequences, my advice is to make a suggestion regarding the current police punishment system instead of being bias towards all criminal characters.

Bala Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 We go there when we are able to. Mechanics can't release vehicles as it's under police jurisdiction. I try to go there as much as possible but like Alex said, often times there is other more important things that require our attention. I don't however feel like we should be making money off the unimpounding because we're already paid very well and also, it might send the wrong message that we're impounding to profit. We're impounded because of parking offences and/or other crimes and it's a method of catching people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marca Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Usually when a unit is going to the impound lot, it may receive a higher priority call, like a robbery. We all know that crimes in the game happens 24 hours a day, day or night not having any difference. People will also often engage in a shootout or start running away from cops, even if they would get a small ticket. If that happens, it's again a higher priority. A lot of times, officers are not free for long to do other tasks. There are also a lot of other reasons why we can't have an officer at the impound lot at all times. Unfortunately, that's how the server is right now. For the system to be automatic or allowing mechanics to release vehicles, it wouldn't work out. A lot of people have outstanding tickets, tickets that they have to pay before getting their vehicle back. Mechanics don't have access to the police database and having the system automated kinda removes some sort of a RP element. It's understandable that the system isn't working 100% efficiently, however as more officers are recruited, I believe it'll fix itself. So with time, I'm confident there will be enough officers, at all times of the day, to take care of the impound lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePro Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yeah do something with it, I have to AFK in front of impound for hours sometimes until I can get out my car, and when they finally come they arrest me for some unpaid ticket because of illegal parking, but I wasn't even online for a few days so I couldn't pay it lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePro Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Either make the impound scripted so we can take the car out with a command, or make a smaller faction with about 10 members, so someone will be always at the impound and we don't have to wait hours. If the faction will be added - I'll join it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
