My stance on cop income...
1. The reward should remain at full rates for those cops who are best at taking down suspects without dying over and over again. Criminals who take down more cops should still get a higher bounty though.
I = LR - (ND)
Where:
- I = Cop's income from killing
- L = Suspect's wanted level (how many cops they killed goes here)
- R = Cop's rank (You do not expect to see the VCPD Chief letting himself get killed to raise bounties anyway)
- N = Number of cop deaths from the said criminal (zero deaths means zero deductions)
- D = The deduction rate of cop income per death
Meaning, cops who die a lot would get ridiculously poor income compared to those who don't, losing more of their income per death until it reaches a near-zero rate (maybe $1).
2. Additionally, desk jobs in the VCPD / FBI (such as compiling cases), as well as awards (although not too much for the awards), should receive some paid income, since there is more to law enforcement than just shooting the shit out of wanted people or putting them in a box. This can be done through funds (monitored with records, of course)left with the VCPD /FBI.
