Congratulations and good job everyone!

I do think it’s a bit of a culture thing. I’ve been in the PD for about half a year now, and from what I’ve seen, if we are in a pursuit, we will usually RP any collision—as long as the suspect being chased RPs it too. A lot of the time, however, the suspect just takes off and continues the chase instead of RPing the collision. It doesn’t even have to be a collision involving the PD. Many times, if we’re chasing someone, they’ll crash head-on into a wall, into traffic, or something else—collisions that should clearly be RPed. However, they just drive off, which I think is bad. Of course, a report should be made and people should be held accountable, but I think more often now the preference is: “Okay, you broke this rule, so we’ll break it too or do something else instead of reporting,” which isn’t great. If we’re talking about pursuits where suspects—or even PD officers—crash heavily into walls, innocent bystanders, or traffic, then yes, I absolutely agree these should always be RPed. I don’t really think there’s an excuse not to. You’re driving: if you make a mistake, even in a chase, you should drop out of that chase and RP the consequences of your driving. Personally, I always try to do this. Even if I’m far from the pursuit and crash head-on into an indestructible pole, I’ll drop out and RP it. This is just the basics of what the server is for, RP and everyone has to uphold a basic RP standard of this. Even yesterday, I was patrolling, SD was chasing somebody and their suspect head-on absolutely smashed my car, dragging it across the street. I stopped to RP it, I was not even involved in the chase as it was SD's chase. Did the suspect stop and RP it? No, he did not hesitate for a second to keep speeding away. I didn't report, nor did they, but maybe it should have been to hold people accountable. There have been a number of communications made towards us in the PD regarding realistic driving and RPing these situations. Personally, I haven’t seen anyone crashing into civilians and driving off. Of course, I’m only one person, so I can’t see everything, and I can’t comment on how common it really is. I think the best solution is simply to report and hold people accountable. I haven’t seen many reports about this recently, and if it is happening often, there should definitely be more reports on it.
