2.0 Citizens Interacting with PD
Access to PD Inventory
You are only permitted to take money and food from the police department’s inventory.
Police Vehicle Usage
You cannot use lights or sirens on police vehicles.
Impersonating a Police Officer
Impersonating a police officer in any way is strictly prohibited.
This includes wearing police uniforms, using police equipment, or otherwise attempting to mimic law enforcement.
Avoiding Cop Baiting
You cannot bait or provoke police officers by committing illegal activities or intentionally following them to gain attention.
Hostage Situation Requirements
To take a police officer hostage, you must outnumber them.
For example, it requires at least 3 or more players against 1 cop.
Use of Lethal Force in a Chase
During a chase, the only time you are allowed to kill a police officer is if they are using excessive force against you or your vehicle.
Fair Opportunity to Defend Themselves
If you intend to shoot at a police officer, you must give them a chance to draw their weapon first.
Shooting them before they have the opportunity to defend themselves is considered RDM (Random Deathmatch).
Good Examples of RP
Respectful Engagement: A citizen pulls over when instructed by a cop and cooperates during a routine traffic stop, answering questions calmly and providing their license and registration.
Roleplaying a Hostage Situation: A group of three or more criminals successfully outnumber a single officer, taking them as a hostage while ensuring the interaction is immersive and realistic, not rushed or chaotic.
Bad Examples of RP
Stealing Police Vehicles: A player steals a police car without any prior roleplay or valid reason, simply to use it as a getaway vehicle.
Impersonating Police Officers: A player wears a police uniform and tries to pull over other citizens or interfere with PD operations, impersonating an officer in a way that disrupts the roleplay.
RDM (Random Deathmatch): A player shoots and kills a cop without giving them a chance to draw their weapon, violating the rule of not shooting before the officer can defend themselves.
Baiting Police: A citizen repeatedly commits petty crimes like speeding or minor theft just to get a police officer’s attention and escalate the situation unnecessarily.
