Before I start, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not trying to start a toxic argument between cops vs crims. Just putting forward my point of view and trying to start a healthy dialogue so we have a more balanced RP and generally have more fun for both groups. Lately there been a trend of cops being really harsh with criminal offences. Be it felony speeding to robbing banks everyone just seems to be on edge. I personally stop my car when I see a cop trying to pull me over, so I can atleast talk my way out of it. It usually used be a lot of fun where we could talk our way out of a speeding charge or couple of misdemeanors but not anymore. Now you get sent straight to prison regardless of the degree of crime that is being committed. If we try to evade, it always seems like it's impossible to lose a cop car that on your tail. If we use bikes it gets looked upon as a chessy strat. If we try to go for jumps which is a high risk gamble that crims take, they'd be banned for UGP. Also when we do get arrested taking most of our belongings is just kicking us when we are down. Honestly at the moment it's feels so unbalanced that it's not even worth being a criminal. All the spots we worked so hard for has been wiped and we basically have to put in all the work again. Other ways to make money is doing store robberies and bank jobs that is a huge gamble to take and is mostly hit all the time coz there seems to be not other way to make money besides hunting and trucking. Currently I see a lot of people frustrated at the present situation and are likely to leave this server even through it has an amazing community. I hope and pray that things change for the better and everyone on the server can have fun. Also to those who are reading, kindly write down your thoughts and perspectives so we can have a better understanding. If y'all just through that I'm just whining and reading too much into this, I apologise for wasting your time. -
Hey guys! I wanted to start a discussion on the current state illegal location raids. When I stated in this city, there were moles that allowed groups to plan and coordinate counter raids. There was some drugs to be had and obviously the location would remain, however the risk/reward ratio in my opinion was iffy. Ever since that Heroin and chopshop raid where police were wiped and they called in gunships. I haven't heard of raids being announced. I have a sour opinion on that as it seems as if once cops started losing a fair fight, they had to make it secret. I wanted some other opinions on this and to look at it from all angles! Please leave your opinion below!

Balancing out a power dynamic for sniper rifles is tricky because it's almost completely dependent on the users ability to use a gun. I have been doing some thinking about how snipers could be viable in certain crime related situations. During a hostage situation a sniper could be planted on a rooftop incase shots are fired. This does come with a problem however, what can the criminals do to fight against a sniper? Balancing changes are necessary to create an even match up between PD and the criminals. The rifle's barrel could have a glint to it to make it more noticeable or laser sights to let the criminals know they're being aimed at. Even if this alone doesn't prevent the lethality of sniper rifles it'd at least create a sense of awareness between PD and the criminals. With the existence of guns like the LMG and AK-47 (while expensive) it's not out of the question for a criminal to be able to get their hands on a sniper rifle, it just needs to be a somewhat hard process. The presence of PD snipers could be situational, depending on the class of weapon the criminals are seen using, known warrants, or just what the PD sees as fit. Hunting rifles could also be implemented or even stolen to be used for things other than hunting to even out the playing field between the two sides. To legally have a hunting rifle the devs could implement a hunting job/license to allow people other than PD to obtain a sniper rifle. With this they could also implement sniper training so only qualified people are allowed to handle snipers in the LSPD or BCSO. This could also add counterplay for the criminals and force them to schedule robberies during times when snipers are most likely not in the city. Along with this it would also make PD choppers more viable. During high speed chases with violent people they could shoot out tires and aid in the chase. And on the other side, the existence of hunting rifles could allow criminals to snipe the pilot of a PD chopper and create confusion among the PD. This topic is open to discussion and I'd love to hear what the rest of the community thinks about what I've said here.
