Reminder:
If the driver, for example, did a minor and moderate traffic violation, then their not to be fined for both - only for the more severe offense.




The first and most important rule is to be always friendly with the traffic offender. After you commanded the offender to pull over, you must explain exactly what their done wrong and eventually the price of the ticket/fine offender is obligated to pay. In case that their is refusing to do so, you must warn/explain the offender about the consequences - becoming a suspect and eventually getting arrested. If the offender is still refusing to pay you are fully authorized to suspect for the traffic violation their committed.

After the person got suspected, he/she has a right for investigation if there was no evading from police. In case that it is proven by investigation that the ticket fine is justified, the person is offered with two options. One option is to pay for the ticket fine + compensation for the investigation, where compensation is of the same amount as the fine itself. In case that the person does not want to pay for the total fine, he/she is to be sent to jail. If needed, further discussion should be continued with a member of LCPD Command Staff.

Reminder:
If the driver does not want to Role-play the traffic stop, then you are to finish it as sooner as possible (Just tell them the violation they performed and how much is the ticket). The reason is simple, forcing to roleplay is against the rules of the server.




You should avoid fining newcomers. Instead of that explain them what they did wrong and what they should avoid to do in the future.

Here to use comes the /registration ID command which displays you if the specific player has a passport and driving license or not. If therefore driver does not have those two documents, then their specified under as a newcomer. It's better to just warn them with couple of siren signs than to instantly try to pull them over. Do not automatically suspect them for "evading a traffic stop" better just see if they "want the chase" aka CopHunt/CopBait=Rulbereak in which case you should /report them to administration if they are persistent to get your attention. Or, if that is not the case, if they are just kind of lost and new to the whole story. Then, in that situation they should go along with logic and stop whatever they are doing after few siren warnings. If not, then try to pull them over and tell them what is wrong.




Be aware that any abuse of the tickets/fines or their prices may lead you to harsh punishments such as copban (You get banned for certain period of time from the police), temporary ban from server for misbehaving or even permanent ban from the server. (In which case you really abused the system, by exaggerating it to "scamming")
