The situation is too limited. What would be the reason for the cop to disengage a chase ?

Car health? Fuel? Out of Ammu? or low health?

[Gandalf]

What if the cop runs away a lot more and does not try to shoot the criminals. The cops is on a good distance from the suspects and is calling backup on the radio because he knows he can't handle it on his own.

Would it be cophunting when the criminals are following the cop and trying to kill him?

Once a cop has engaged the ciminals with gunfire, he can expect the criminals to respond. There for it will depend entirely upon the situation.
As Rusty mentioned above, a cop withdrawing one street can not expect not to be followed, as the criminals have a better chance of escaping if they kill him.
However if the cop is chased all the way down to LSPD, this is not allowed.

I hope to see that in a next Hollywood movie.
During a shootout, with 5 criminals the lone hero shouts to them "STOP, I am out of ammo and need a medic", the gunfight stops and the criminals let him go.

I've broken off chases becuse of 1 of the reasons above ( ammu is not that liekly ) i've had a fucked up car before and had to break off a chase, i've also had to run away from serval criminals on feet, but with a very low chance of survival.

Situation:

Player1 is frozen due to a script bug, is he or she allowed to use /hail 1 or another animation to get out of the freeze?

[Xander]

Problem:

Mr. Ancelotti is speeding, he gets pulled over and issued 3 citations...all for 250$. So he knows being jailed is in fact cheaper and has good roleplay with investigations. He then gets in his car and evades to nearest PD. He then /gu's and demands investigation and to be jailed. Now the Cop Who chased and suspected and gave citations is threatening to have an admin intervene. Mr. Ancelotti says he just wants to go to jail at the pd they are at, and have a investigation if required. Mr. Ancelotti contacts an admin who says...once a criminal is /gu he must listen to the Cop. So Mr. Ancelotti now must get in the cop car....and never get jailed....he is stuck /gu in the Mr. Cop's car driving around SA.

Is this allowed? Driving around SA stuck /gu.....with a cop who never intends to jail you?

Thanks for your time. <3 the cops

What is considered /ask abuse? From what I know it is a script that allows players to ask questions. If you ask something random, is it not allowed? Obviously if you flame in it etc. it can be considered abuse but it is making me quite pissed off that innocent players are being harassed because they use /ask for a question not related to being new on Argonath. If the /ask system was only for new players then there would be some kind of restriction..

You should consider the different options. If you are armed and have a chance to get out of it unhurt you might try, however it could cause to to become a murderer and having to do jail time.
If you give the robber some money, you might lose less as the value of the bullets you will spend.

If it is confirmed to be a script bug it is allowed. It is not allowed to used it during the freeze time when entering/exiting buildings to let objects load or when an admin freezes a player.

As soon as Mr Ancelotti evades he has the possibility to be shot on sight by the police. Also he has the right to be jailed at once when reaching a PD alive.
It would however be fair if the cop who originally stopped him would receive a reward for his work.

Sorry for answering on this one :P

Personally, I think issuing 3 citations isn't allowed - the max FINE is $250, which would probably be a collective amount for any amount of citations given.
As for the suspect and driving around SA...Unfortunately there isn't much you can do - although you have to do what the cops say once you /gu, you also can't be forced into a RP..
If a suspect annoys me heaps then surrenders I might waste their time driving them around pointlessly for a few minutes, but it's common sense when enough is enough. If I put myself into their shoes and realise it's pissing them off, then I know it's time to just go and jail them for a small jail time.

What I understand, the /ask is created to allow players to ask non-RP related questions to someone, causing the player that has been asked to receive a popup screen where the answer can be typed.

If players use this to /ask ' Can I kidnap you'  10 times in a row, the player can expect to get a warning for abuse.
