100% agree with this until there is more to do in prison. Personally, Criminals need to commit crime to give police roleplay but then when they get caught they shouldn't be forced to IRL spend 45 mins doing nothing. It's almost like punishing people for roleplaying. However I know there are things in the works for prison down the road but allowing someone to switch characters isn't a bad idea at all. If abused it should be punished on a person by person basis.  I mean we could introduce cops who get shot in the line of duty and need to be taken to the hospital to sit at mission row for 45 just for roleplaying their role? I mean that would be pretty much the same thing honesty. You see how odd that is? 

Regarding prison time I think I have *some* weight to comment here. I think the plan is to make it so that there's a set amount of time you can serve offline but also a minimum amount of time to spend in character in prison. With the increase of jail times I'm going to certainly be spending more time with DoC stuff. From testing here and there DoC seems to be working to a degree so there's that. Another plan is to have DoC be able to reduce time while in prison but that is still in the works.  When no DoC are available I think there would be some small jobs which would cut down time by a small amount and maybe issue a small amount of money; these jobs would be disabled if DoC are clocked in. I have no idea when apps and so on will open so right now it is just me and I cant do it 24/7 - Ideally this'll negate the concerns to an extent. Im no official tho, just the muscle

I'd much rather see some sort of "work" system in place to shorten time while your in prison or prison breaks being possible. I don't think a prison avoidance system is the way to go personally 

What about counting the time only when on another character and maybe if no DOJ are on - but that is getting a little complicated.  It's a good idea - hope to see this in some way. 

Ban them? I mean, its that simple.
