Note: I can't keep on writing right now... But tell me your ideas, suggestions, ect. Tell me if this is a good idea in general. I will add more later, if the community even semi-likes it.

its an great idea PDchief
we need some laws for , thief , rob cop car ...
and for they illegal items
like remote bomb ...

[PDChief]

The reason why i want these kind of laws is so the Cops and the Civs are on the same page. As right now there are not very many written laws (A whole 6) though there are hundreds of unwritten laws. If we had the laws here that define the law and the max time and stuff like that i think it would stop arguing in the game.

 "The officer can make the choice on whether to allow him to go to a near-by ATM and withdraw the correct amount."

Sorry, but just that line is enough for me to call bullshit. The cop should always have to accept a fine if the civ can pay. Why do people not get that it's a win-win situation? The civilian doesn't have to spend his time in jail, and the amount of the fine is distributed between the cops.

Also i don't like cops being able to open fire on convoy-hijackers, chasing should be the way to go.

[HBKev]

rob the convoy is like an terorism attack
so i think , cop have right to open fire on him

Nope. I can understand the need to want to obiterate the copcar, but with the dawn of the Lancer ubercar cops stand a good chance of catching the convoy.

Good luck trying to enforce those laws when there are 25 civs on the server.

LOL sorry those speeding fines are ridiculous!

[PDChief]

LOL sorry those speeding fines are ridiculous!

LOL. No they are not. Really. If you can read it says 'maximum' Another words, a officer cannot make you pay more than that. But i only give tickets myself when the civ says, hurry up and give me my ticket and let me leave. I laugh, and give them what they wanted.

Maximum equals average with CL cops. Chances that people will pay is the square of the value of the ticket, and lets face it, speeding clearly isnt the worst crime that can be commited.

mayhem it causes accidents and when an accident occurs people want compensation and wen compensation is not met violence happens...

Got nothing to say to my feedback? Looks like trigger-happy cops don't want their power to shoot anything that doesn't comply taken away.

[adamownsya]

The problem is a convoy hijack is terrorism, and that truck could easily flip evos (believe me ive flipped 4 in one chase once haha) i think they sould chase up to a point where its shoot tyres or stun...

Cops should be dealing with more important things than accidents and speeding players, as there is much more disruptive behaviour out there. Like me, carving a path of wreckage across the map.
