Knoxi Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Either remove the ability to /payticket to officers or have it that officers have to accept the payment. Driving by someone sitting in a cruiser, and just using /payticket to avoid having to go to into PD or any interaction with an officer is practically power gaming. If they have tickets that exceed 72 OOC hours, they pay it off avoiding further charges. There is no script that automatically makes tickets un-payable, or adds failure to pay a fine. I don't mind RPing a card reader or taking cash if that's what they want to do, but at least some kind of interaction is needed. I'd like to see this either amended or removed please! 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexalex303 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I feel that if anything, you should be able to pay you tickets from anywhere, on your phone. The goal should be easy access to payment of tickets, not restricting it so that people may face petty charges. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marca Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I agree with this. People just PG way too often by paying tickets and don't even RP it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoFunk Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 +1 I assumed it was common practise to RP it (at least I RP getting a card reader if somebody wants to pay their fines). Apparently not, it's very heavy PGing to just /payticket without any interaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because then people can just easily bypass the whole "Failure to pay a fine" charge. We need to add RP interactions, not automate the system more.

The goal should never be imprisonment by limiting payment options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good if people could pay their fines over the phone but there needs to be a script that automatically applies failure to pay once a ticket expires before this would work.

The point of an RP server is to RP, but I mean more commands with no rp is fine, if you are into that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSilky Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 To be honest, the suggestion @alexalex303 made is actually quite good but there would need to be a restriction on paying fines on charges requiring jail time and expired tickets (3 OOC days) where you cannot pay these off without interacting with an officer.

Z0thian Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 In real life, I wouldn't go to a cop to pay a parking ticket, or a speeding ticket. I would go on my phone or use my computer to pay a ticket. Most of the time I drive up to a cop and say "can I pay a ticket please?" they either say "I'm not a card reader" or "Sure" and then do no RP for me to pay the ticket.

CarryOut Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think it'd be fine for us to RP having to pay the ticket, but half the time I go up to a cop. I get a /do window is up, cannot hear. Then the cop drives away. I also wouldn't go to an officer in real life to pay a ticket, because they can't take money in real life, they can only give tickets. Realistically the /payfine should be at the courthouse, and we should have the option on our phone to pay as well. I get we want RP, but we also want realism, which is what the server is very geared towards from my past experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxi Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Either way I don't care how it is, but something needs to change. Ideally we lock ticket payment after 72 ooc hours, and automatically apply the charge. Paying tickets to officers isn't really a thing in North America anyway, so wherever they have to go to pay it is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in most areas, but it used to be common in Montana in the 80's. Officers would ticket and if the fine was small one could pay on the spot and avoid the courts, etc. This was prior to debit cards, so they only took cash. also +1 to more RP fine payment. Police could have card readers for their phones or readers in the cruisers and a secure Gov App that would transfer funds. and +1 to auto-locking payment or auto-adding the charge scriptwise after 72 hours for failure to pay Edited October 31, 2019 by MoonBurdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msato Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Perhaps have /approveticket added as a response to the /payticket. This could grant the person to pay tickets for the next 30 seconds or so, similar to a frisk. I may just be talking for myself here, but I kind of enjoy running into an officer you know and paying of some petty tickets, whilst making conversation and natural rp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bala Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 To be honest, it seems kinda stupid for people to pay their tickets to an officer anyway. We're police officers, not travelling insurance salesmen. Let's face it, no one is getting semi hard over the role-play of paying a ticket to an officer, we're just convenience for people to not have to go to Mission Row. That being said, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to pay their tickets via their phone (since particularly with the SPED cameras you get the alert anyway) or by going to the Sheriffs or LSPD stations.) For me, get rid of the police ticket paid to an officer and add the option to pay it over your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Raven Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 +1 and +1 for @alexalex303's suggestion. People being able to pay fines on their phone would be convenient, as for tickets going over the 12 day limit (3 day OOC) they should automatically convert to a failure to pay fine, although I am still not 100% on this last part. I like the idea of allowing players to pay their fines on scene if they get caught with expired tickets instead of automatically getting a charge.

Bala Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Im not a fan of failure to pay a fine thing being automatic because it takes away officer discretion then. I don't think any charges should be automatically applied, at all. Usually, if I have someone who hasn't paid their fines within the time and they aren't already going to jail/prison, i'll let them off if they settle all their tickets. Having to take someone to jail for a five minute sentence, seems a little pointless for both parties and if you can avoid it, then I would.

CrowCargo Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I was pulled over for speeding by an officer, the fine was only $1000 dollars. I had a great time and so did he. As far as the scenario went it took approximately 30 minutes from start to finish, and it was one of the highlights of my week. I think allowing officers to accept mobile payments would be a good idea and having a /acceptticketpayment command would fix people nonrply spamming the command at them, and allow the officers to ask for ID prior to the Payments going through.

Ellis Walker Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 When you get a fine you get a text on your phone. In the text they can include “Text ‘PAY’ to 911 to pay off your fine or go to PD and pay your fine there” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoza Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 You can no longer /payticket at an officer and must do it at a police desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
