[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

Also if there are so little cops, why won't you just hide and wait until you lose your wanted level? It's not like in MTA:VC where you're wanted for infinite time, unless you either die or get jailed.

For these reasons:
1: I have an in-game meeting that I must attend
2: I'm lazy
3: I forgot 3
4: I got something important to do in game

Are the usage of sirens obligatory? (in /duty)


E.G.

Well - today I was rammed by a group known as "SRU" - They, cops, were speeding in a convoy through Market, LS which made me eat two or three lamp posts... I therefore, warned them about the speed which they were going - I was completely ignored.
So I decided to call 911 and report the situation to the real police.
After that, admin [WS]Ben_Samiir explained me that they were to answer a code 30, something I was unable to know...
All I knew it was that I got rammed by cops.The same admin threated to ban me if I was going to take it further. That's why I'm posting this here

The question is above...

[Aragorn]

I am not sure if I understood anything from your post...
Can say only that I will check the activity of this group as I do not like any alternatives to the ARPD and developed by admins powers usage...

[EminemRulez]

Basicly - I got rammed by cops.
When I tried to say something about they don't using sirens, I got threated of getting banned.

Cops are supposed to be using PD cars... with sirens...
If they have an emergency, they put sirens on and we let them go through.
They were in Buffalos, going through everything... They even gone through my car.

My question: Is that allowed? ^

Regards.

Place ARPD questions HERE.
And if you can't post, register.

But about SRU..

SRU stands for ''Specialized Response Unit'' it means they react to situations fast and smooth, they can't be bothered to use Police cars because they simply do not meet their standards. And yes, ARPD members ARE allowed to use civillian vehicles.

The reason you got a warning for a ban, is because SRU is a group that is very likely to get insulted or provoked. And this does not meet the server rules (Respect ALL groups). The admins probably thought that you were angry at SRU, while you were just warning them. In this case you should just let it go and if you are angry, leave the server.

Still, when SRU or admins violate an SAPD and/or server rules, you can report them on the ARPD forum or report them at the [email protected] e-mail address.

And no, I am not a developer, but I'm just sharing my experience, since I've been in SRU and I know how it looks from their perspective.

I wont even bother reading, sorry.
I will only read Developers answers - their words are the law.... That's why I used this topic.

Cheers.

1. So if I make a group called 'SRU' (assuming there wasn't one already) i'm allowed to speed and break laws, including endangering citizens lives because I have to chase a criminal? 2. Any group is very likely to get insulted or provoked, because chances are groups don't always agree and there are many members in a group so they will eventually provoke at each other, we are ALL at same risk, no one is more special than another, whether in a group or not, so the elite-ist idea isn't fair. 3. So we can't defend ourselves even WARN someone who broke law/server rules because their a group who has had controvsery?

Yes these questions are to developers, based from what Dutchy said, if all of those are true, that just makes no sense, and I would like to see if Developers allow what Dutchy is saying.

[EminemRulez]

I'd like to hear that from developers themself, not through player. I've heard enough from players and some admins "stfu abouT sru or get banned".

Question: What difference does it make if some random stranger jails me for 30 seconds, a rather short time and if a good friend and criminal group member with the same tag as me jails me for 30 seconds as I requested him to do?
Apparently, this is abuse of /jail to lose suspection. If it is, then every cop who has jailed a suspect should be banned for making suspects lose their suspection via jail, including myself, Gandalf, Grzesiek, Vince, Hank Rafferty, Matrixbob...I could keep going on.

The difference is that by asking fellow mafia members to go on duty only for jailing:
1. They let you get away with the lowest jail time regardless of prior crimes
2. You enrich your family members and/or share money, inviting script abuse
3. You deny those who work regularly as cops to earn money.

You did not get rammed by them. You got hit by a car traveling at a faster speed.
Do not expect admins to wipe every nose, and if you are so greedy about $100, spend $1000 on filing a court case to try and get it back...

1. Yes. Cops can break laws when chasing a criminal If they are not chasing, they are supposed to respect the law.
2. And in theory every group will be handles the same. It does not matter if someone says 'Gvardia are DMers' or 'SRU are DMers', both times punishment for flame and group provoking can be given.
3. You can, but only in case it is justified, else it will turn on you.

Not about the $100 - but it would be nice seeing cops, using cop cars.
But apparently, they do not have to

Buffalos are government issued.

Buffalos are government issued.

Indeed, there are quite a few of them sitting at LVPD.
