Xoza Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Tossing a suggestion made by @GOAT here. Quote Does the suggestion require developer support?: YES Describe the suggestion: The suggestion is pretty straight forward, I'd like us to be able to remove pending charges that we've placed. For example, I am arresting someone for Armed Robbery and it seems that there was enough evidence to charge him with something else, so I added that as well. For arguments say, say Attempted Bribery. However, it comes to light during the arresting procedure that he's not attempted bribery. I then have to contact either an admin or a Lieutenant+ to correct my mistake. Although people should be sure of their charges when they place them, sometimes you make a human error OR they roleplay with you so well that you want to commute their sentence but you cannot, as you cannot alter your own charge placement. How would the suggestion benefit the LSPD: I feel that if we're personally able to place charges, we should be able to remove charges if they are pending (in red) that we have placed. I'm not talking about messing with charges that other people have placed, but only correcting your own mistake. It lowers the need for Command to intervene as much and the same goes with admins. It also allows some additional flexibility in policing and sentencing. Sometimes situations deescalate and you want to alter your approach. +1 Allows an individual to remove mistakes in addition to reapply modifiers after further investigation, good RP or even extended detainment.

MohammedAli Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 +1 Doesn't need an explanation as to why this is needed. Common sense update required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yputi Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 +1 And maybe a system that you can change/remove charges within 30 min, to prevent charges being removed by accident much later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiantator Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 +1. Being able to change a charge to lessen the time for good RP would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBurdy Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 +1 everyone benefits, especially PD command who wouldn't have to spend valuable time attending to a simple matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bala Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 +1 because it's a great idea and obviously whoever came up with the original idea is a lowkey genius. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrosive Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 +1 I once accidently added illigal weapon instead of unlicensed weapon. And had no lieutenant on duty or admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopop Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 +1 sometimes I've had to detain people for a long period of time, so I like to tell them they got "time served" on a charge, but if they are charged already I can't do anything about it.v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Einhart Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm of two minds about this. On one hand, I'd like to see this in order to correct the mistakes that happen. On that front I'm 500% for it. On the other hand, it would encourage people to ambush officers driving to DOC with suspects and basically take them captive trying to get charges removed because they would now OOCly know an officer can do that with script support. I guess you could argue this would encourage more DOC convoys to pick up suspects, but that's not always possible. I think it would lead to abuse cases during low population times, where there would be every incentive to attack an officer and force them to remove charges and in my opinion giving people even more reasons to attack law enforcement is going to make the job more and more frustrating.

TheCactus Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 +1 I never placed wrong charges but I had cadets that did and it's a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant force someone to charge someone with something so the same logic applies to forcing people to remove charges.
