Cameras, kind of RP or abusing? Discussion

Why would a hitman destroy a camera? Just destroy the thing yourself...

Because i want them to destroy a camera for a good price? If i can destroy them myself, setting hits on them must be allowed too.

Idk, i have nothing against cameras.  Like Gimli sayed, it will encourage ppl to drive more normaly...... its pretty anoying when you got lag rammed by a speeding car with over 200klm/h, but thats not the point.
   Ppl should drive more slowly in city's. 
   For speeders:  Go to Airports and speed how much you want , also highway's, and you can try you're luck on country roads ofc if there aren't any camers there also 
  But do respect atleast the speed in the city.

Argonath is a strong ambassador of imaginative roleplay where creative thinking is the infrastructure of every underlying feature, script and player of our community.

From what I've gathered in this discussion, I strongly support this scheme considering it has had a controversial yet creative impact on the SA:MP community. I think it's a great proposal that has been brought to fruit on the SAPD side and only wished that the criminals were able to bring such ingenuities to the drawing board as their law enforcing counterparts have done so. I also think this allows for stronger relationships between the SAPD and criminals especially when considering that there are fines to pay at the LSPD. It will allow for community relationship building rather then the 'bag and tag' scenario of shootouts.

If the speed cameras catch criminals, perhaps the criminals should work out a RP way of preventing them from functioning such as vandalism, software corruption or even RP protests (my favourite!)

I found a solution to all of our problems:


If you do not want the camera there, destroy it...kill the player

But then you're suspected anyway?

Or just plain fines...

joking? Camera's (players) were killed tens times... they just respawn on their place and continue suspecting.. as In Real Life, you destroy camera, Police will set new one

Hey, it was just an idea...the only way of removing the camera is to destroy it

Maybe i can try cutting its wires off, carrying to a garden, burying it. But i am SURE the camera person will refuse to RP that.

[Devin]

Frank, one issue with that, If youre suspected, you go near LSPD and you get an Arms Force spraying you with weapons when youre trying to pay a fine, and you also get cops who come jail you if you go inside, its just pathetic how money hungry some are.

Might as well try

[Pandalink]

Frank, as much as nobody on this forum understands what you're saying (an intentional effect, I suspect), it is sadly just similar to what everyone else posts.

"Hey, cops have all script advantage!"
"OMFG MOANER CRIMINAL, JUST OUTSMART THEM."

It just doesn't make any sense, and is continuing to add nails to the coffin.
March is not far away, Argonath.

Might as well try

Won't work though will it.


Anyway, I'm going to go carkill the cameras because that doesn't count as carkilling because they are only cameras.

brb

[David_Omid]

The main point I want to stress here is that the cameras are not scripted, they are players who are roleplaying

We can not "remove" cameras as they are players and what they are doing is not against the rules

This is not a question of if they are needed or not as they are there regardless


What you criminals seem to be missing is that YOU are going to fast, YOU are the ones getting suspected. Why not take them as a hint and slow down?

I'm all for police and criminal equality but sometimes criminals fail to show initiative

"Oh look a speed camera, I'm going to drive fast and then get annoyed when it fines me"


So the options:

Drive slowly and don't get fined, drive fast and get suspected or just destroy the camera and do whatever you want to it

Im sorry but i cant remember a post from you that i didnt cried from laughing xD 


Anyways, I still didnt went IG to check it out.
I wonder how could they gather up and agree to do this. These guys are either active players or admin sent people...
