There is a difference between a player that is on his way to buy a license to for example a player that I always see without license.
From my point sometimes I will give warnings sometimes I will not it's depend on the situation
That is exactly the attitude most players think corrupt cops have, and they're not wrong.
Bro give everybody a chance, write their name down and if you see them the same again then book em.
I give people a chance sometimes but again depend on the situation, new player to the server or a well known bandit ect'
And those children with badges who ran up to us, took our 10k of guns and jailed my friend? I was a weaponsmith selling them off the side of our APC (Something I was specifically given permission to do by the mod Josh) my friend was an armorsmith. We were working on getting another friend on to be a chef for us. That way we could sell guns, clothes, and food to the public all while on the move. All of the guns and clothes and food were in metal racks to prevent theft. We always informed anybody buying a gun that they should run down to a gun store and purchase a license, if they didn't we would be held accountable for their lack of license.
We were traveling salesmen selling valuable things to players and our APC got stuck in a rut and had to be carjacked out (It's also worth noting we didn't have a carjack) The children came, screamed at us for having guns, arrested my friend and refused to talk to me. They released my friend without his weapons after threatening him randomly with charges of player disrespect and kicked him out of the "jail" on the hill. Together we ran back to our APC, they secretly followed us and the moment we reached the APC (We still had guns on the side of it) said "Oh you're still here eh? Mind giving us the rest of those guns before we arrest you?"
By this time they were obviously bored children and just wanted to pass the time by harassing us. Sure enough we happened to have plates on our APC (9 total) to make it look good more than anything (I was told by a mod that this was fine) only one person before these disruptive brats pretending to be valuable cops told us it MIGHT not be smart to have plates on the car because we risked it being blown up. These kids called a mod specifically to both waste our time and hopefully blow our vehicle up so they could be entertained. The whole while I'm sitting behind my computer screen steaming like a tea pot thinking "I just got unbanned. Is it worth it to tell these cops off and do the same to the mod in the area?" I have serious anger issues so I try to avoid conflict. Problem is the terrible police brought the conflict TO ME. I couldn't avoid what followed me, especially when I had an APC to care for.
These cops were simply bored and took every step to be as disruptive to my play time as possible because they were children.
The police force is diluted by brats who get bored halfway through their nightly jobs. This right here is a rule that must be implemented to prevent little shits from ruining a random dude (Or dudettes) playtime.
You can't argue this was them doing their job, this was disruptive police ruining my play time because they were bored and had everything on their side. They practically used k9 units to sniff every inch of our person's or vehicle for any tiny little shred of evidence to get us into more trouble. They thought we had 8 plates on our car but went absolutely ape shit crazy when the number rose to 9, as if one plate was enough to blow up the server.
This is terrible and I refuse to let it happen within the SO as the Undersheriff. You had best deal with this in your police force or soon you will be obsolete.
