I think both sides should equally value the hostage, not putting him in harm's way. It's a lot more fun if the hostage is locked up in a room and Police launch an attack to free him/her instead of paying. If you’re putting the hostage in front of everyone you're basically just cheating the system and Fail rping. If the hostage dies then what do you have to use to not get mowed down by the cops? I think if the hostage dies the police should still pursue the attacker.

Miku I think that maybe cops should be able to go after kidnappers when they don't have a hostage but when we put a guy in front of a door he's in no danger unless the cops decide to blow it open and rush in, we are not putting him in danger we are simply putting him in a place we can watch the hostage and the police.

Really if putting hostages in harms way is that big a deal, there could be a rule added stating if the hostage is killed because of being forced in harms way it will be considered kos on the kidnappers. The kidnappers take them to get money, not to get gear off their body. If that is their intention they need to switch to bandit.

Btw police can use frag rounds or high caliber ammo to destroy obstacles without harming the hostage

That takes more than 10 magazines which costs a lot, i got up to 10 rounds used and i decided it was too much

Well high calliber rounds then a single nykorev box with 200 bullets costs around 75 bucks and I think that 200 shots are more than enough for a single door.
