Our primary focus right now in the development team is the inclusion of features that primarily benefit illegal factions and their affiliates. Something you may have heard chatter about is new maps, one of which you can see being built in real-time ingame already at the old Gang Field Unit building near Idlewood Pizza Stack! The new prison system is lifted pretty much straight from the GTA V server and rewritten & adapted to work on our SA-MP server. Here is a brief synopsis on how it works: All crimes are now for hours, not minutes Prison time will go down whilst the player is offline Players will never be released from prison unless they: are on parole, or type /releaseme Players are eligible for automatic parole after a set amount of time based on their charges Prison times & parole times are visible on https://law.lsgov.us Players will be sentenced for the entirety of the X hours they are prisoned for, e.g. if you commit murder you are sentenced for 120 hours with parole after 240 minutes After the parole eligibility period (240 minutes in the example above) a prisoner can use /paroleme automatically to be released For the rest of the 120 hours (5 days; counts down offline) the parolee can be monitored by DCR parole agent - don't turn off your phone... If a player is killed whilst on parole they respawn at their normal spawn point, if a player is killed by on duty police they will go back to jail with no more automatic parole You can apply for parole again in this case by going to https://corrections.lsgov.us Being killed by on duty police then being revived by the LSFD will not automatically send you back to prison, so make sure you stick around for the ambulance! The system is designed so that players spend less time in prison if they don't want to be in prison while still having real repercussions if they parole and go back to committing crime immediately We hope that this change brings more life to illegal factions both in and out of prison by introducing a new dynamic that has never been really successfully done before in the parole system. Another way we're helping out our illegal roleplayers is by making it so weapons are completely invisible if they're /place'd in a car with the windows up and the trunk closed. This doesn't mean people with SilentPatch can still see them, it means they are gone - effectively deleted - while the car meets these conditions. This benefits illegal roleplayers in two ways: Other players cannot see your /place'd guns when you're driving, even with weapon finder cheats Other players cannot see your /place'd guns when you're parked, even with weapon finder cheats Now the only way another player will possibly see your weapon is if the window or trunk is open. Carrying a weapon on your chest does not count - it must be /place'd to be automatically hidden. Note that you can still /takegun while the gun is in its invisible state! The radio range system brings some more realism to the radios and walkie talkies that you can buy. All radio frequencies operate on a default range of 500m, which means when you speak in /r, only players within 500m will be able to hear you clearly. There are certain exceptions to this: Government base radios (dispatch) have 6000m range Police tactical radios (pursuits) have 6000m range Police simplex radios (local situations) have 150m range The CB radio (channel 30) has 6000m range The ATC radio (channel 20) has 6000m range There are new restrictions on the CB and ATC radios in that you cannot use the ATC radio anymore unless you are in/near an ATC-capable vehicle, such as a helicopter or government vehicle. Similarly the CB radio is the same, except for trucks and company vehicles. This is to prevent people using ATC/CB to communicate to get around the range restrictions. And with the radio changes comes a police/fire dispatch system in which faction members can take on the alternate persona of a dispatcher - not very exciting to the wider community but provides many avenues of roleplay for these factions. And finally we've added some QOL tweaks like seeing your house number and position in /stats, and making it free to business employees to enter their place of work (no more spending $5000 just to do your shift)

Good stuff boys, keep it up. 🦾

The impact of Mexican cartels in United States and the influence they hold Mexican cartels can be considered an organized crime organization similar to how an Italian or an Irish mob works. These organized crime groups operate globally, engaging in a variety of illegal activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering and human trafficking. Comparing the influence between many organized crime organizations, Cartels have their dominance domestically on their home turf along with internationally. Many ask on how they're able to accomplish that. The main way is through targeting and exploiting minority groups for financial gain along with fear. Cartels are ruthless compared to others and are not afraid to bring blood into the conversation. As many know, Italian Mob along with Irish are known to be defunct around the United States. However, Cartels are still proactively seen through the nation on both West and East coast. To gain influence over police and other law enforcement agencies, courts and correctional institutions, cartels often attempt to bribe officials and, in some cases, even place their own members in positions of power. This strategy enables cartels to gain long-term influence within these organizations. Cartel activities within the United States are often done through other groups. They create a relationship within the American streets such as various gangs to proactively push their narcotics, extortion, and many other activities. Due to this reason, it is sometimes hard for officer, deputies, or even agents to detect cartel influence within those groups due to the obvious reasons of them having their own motives for financial gain. The most popular is the Sinaloa Cartel, who are an extensive organization in Mexico, and also hold a network for smaller organizations such as gangs to work underneath then. Even though, the local and the US government tried to cease their activities. The cartel still remain powerful due to its international influence, along with having control over the upper echelons of the Mexican government. This allows them to have a more structured and organized approach to their issues. Furthermore, another thing that many need to recognize is that they have extensive influence over 50 countries. Cartels tend to recruit people within the United States and directly target violent American gangs such as Bloods, the Crips, 18th Street, and Aryan Brotherhood to work both sides of the United States and Mexican border. These links are the most influenced around Texas, California, and Washington DC. Law enforcement agencies have to use a lot of time and resources to combat cartel activities. In addition to that, they fail majority of the times due to the fear of giving out information. Some of the tactics that LEO agencies use are investigations, arrests, confiscating illicit assets, and even lying to gain any forms of information. Drug cartels post a threat to both law enforcement and communities within the USA, through drugs and violence. Their operations have put many lives in danger, along with local authorities and communities having a bad relationship over the matters. There has been a surge of addiction rates, overdoses, and drug-related criminal activities due to the distribution and the scale of influence that these cartels hold. Origins & Rise The Sinaloa Cartel emerged in the late 1980s from the fragmentation of the Guadalajara Cartel following the arrest of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. Key founders included Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. Leveraging the Golden Triangle (Sinaloa, Durango, Chihuahua) — a prime region for poppy and cannabis cultivation — the cartel developed smuggling tunnels, bribery networks, and sophisticated drug routes. These methods helped it overpower rival groups like the Tijuana and Juárez cartels throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Structure & Operations The cartel operates as a decentralized federation, made up of semi-autonomous factions such as: Los Chapitos (El Chapo’s sons) El Mayo Zambada’s faction Other regional leaders like Rafael Caro Quintero Its criminal portfolio spans across drug trafficking—marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl — and also includes extortion, taxing of other criminal groups, and infiltration of institutions. The cartel has global reach — active in over 50 countries — with major focus on drug distribution to the U.S. Influence & Innovation Known as one of the most powerful and long-standing criminal organizations, the Sinaloa Cartel’s revenue estimates range from $3 billion to nearly $39 billion annually. It's trafficking infrastructure from the Golden Triangle to U.S. markets earned it the label of the dominant cartel in the Western Hemisphere. Recent Challenges & Violence Despite historic resilience, the cartel has faced intensifying internal conflicts, especially between the Chapitos faction and El Mayo’s group. These conflicts have led to waves of violence, including attacks on hospitals in Culiacán and deadly turf battles. Major law enforcement operations: Operation Mongoose Azteca (2022–2023) resulted in the capture of Ovidio Guzmán López, which triggered violent retaliation in Culiacán. In 2024, U.S. authorities arrested both Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, further destabilizing leadership. The cartel remains deeply embedded in U.S. communities with sophisticated distribution networks across cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, contributing significantly to the fentanyl and methamphetamine crisis. Sinaloa Cartel’s global expansion of violence includes exporting cartel warfare tactics to countries like Ecuador, where it has fueled mass violence and instability. Large-scale interventions have disrupted their operations, such as the U.S. seizure of over 1,300 barrels of methamphetamine precursor chemicals destined for the cartel — worth an estimated $569 million — marking one of the largest busts to date.
