There are a number of individuals who have voiced concerns in this topic, and I read a good number of pages (but not all).
Cofi has issue's with me and thinks that I should of been punished, but then I did know one thing compared to others, I knew when to stop and that I had not been the example that others expected.
However Cofi may also remember that I have punished a large number of SAPD and to make it harder for me, some who have been close friends, and some who still are.
However he, along with others here have raised a very very valid area of concern and that is the apparent difference in punishments to non-cops and cops.
I have used the word apparent on purpose because that is what you see from outside the admin team.
I cannot say how much I will look into this because I really do not know, but I am worried about this, and this means not only have to admin for the players, but also the admins.
One of the problems is interpretation of the rules, and this is something that Cof and many like him are thinking they have become experts on, and its also why for at least one group there are few rules, just guides.
Admins need to understand the difference between dm, which is death without rp, and killing a suspect who should not be suspected ...
Its not straight forward, especially if the admin has not seen the incident, they do NOT have the logs etc that we had access to in RS4 due to teh way RS5 has now been built, they are there but its much harder and slower to get what is needed to prove who is wrong, did the suspect actually commit a crime, or did the cop fake it ...
As said I will be observing, and maybe even reacting, this awareness has been raised in the mind of the guy that hates law enforcement twats and abusers and has no fear to ban at any level for clear abuse.
I am locking this topic as you have made you point, you have increased awareness, and maybe you might even see me in action doing what I do best... piss people off who think they can get away with breaking server rules ...
Please dont do it, cop or civilian, you will get caught eventually !
