🟣 8.11 Cop Fear

Article I - All players need to have some understanding and respect of law enforcement in the city. We are not saying that you have to treat them like gods, but also, need to realistically treat them like they are the law. At the end of the day, this is serious RP, and we believe that treating law enforcement creates a more immersive environment.

Article II - We are based in a United States city environment where there would be realistically 10,354 officers sworn in any given state. With this in mind we do not allow players to rob cops as realistically it makes 0 sense, and wouldn’t happen in real life.

Article III - There should never be a time where players are asking “how many cops are there” or “where are the cops” to an officer or another player. There are tools in the city that you can use to find this information instead of trying to find it out in weird ways.

Article IV - It is important to understand when it is the right time to interfere in a police interaction that is happening. We believe that once a player is downed and/or taken into custody by law enforcement personnel you are considered to be in the custody of the law (this also includes being taken to Pillbox under Law Enforcement custody as well. (The hospital would be packed to the brim with people and security). The scene and/or interaction that you were in that led up to that arrest is concluded at this time. Be mindful of how to approach interactions like this, we recommend to not intervene and attack law enforcement to ensure the release of your associate and/or friend. If the player could not out run the police, they need to accept the loss and proceed on.

Article V - We want to note that players doing illegal activity together if they wreck out, can of course run from the police or turn on the police and try to out gun them. This does not stop those who are in a scene to react in their scene. This only limits people from trying to stop people already downed or is in custody constantly. This is TO NOT LIMIT roleplay. This is to limit the endless waves of people coming to people who have gotten into trouble, are IN CUSTODY, and under arrest already.

Article VI - Some other great examples of cop fear and failing to do so could be:

• Stopping at a traffic stop that a cop is conducting and asking them what they are doing.

• Seeing a friend in custody, and running up to them going what’s going on officer or shooting them just because

• Going up to a officer and treating them like you would not in real life

Article VII - LEO Presence: Always act like there is a heavy LEO presence, even if there is a lack of LEOs. However, if there is a noticeable lack of LEO presence, then try to play accordingly. Abusing a lack of LEO presence is prohibited. Cop Fear is super important in our community to ensure the success of the city. This provides balance within the community. Keeps realism and repeat offenders and/or subjects who commit more serious crimes will serve longer sentences. Please keep this rule in mind as it can lead to disciplinary action including but not limited to temporary bans and furthermore.
