    [23B-013] People v. Gabriel Medina

    in Criminal Division

    Posted · Edited by Kingston AT

    (( Sorry for the late response. December is usually busy for me and I can‘t log in often. Would you be so kind, in future, and DM me on Discord, if that works for you? I‘m checking forums here and there, but as I said already, December is usually very busy. ))
     

    Q2: I‘d say we had two to three incidents. I, rightfully, can not re-call any details, as these incidents happened a long time ago.

     

    Q4: No.

     

    Q5: Yes. If any issues, related to a - for example - Deputy‘s permanent fitness for duty arise, I‘m supposed to contact my next in chain-of-command, which would be a Captain.

     

    Since my reassignment to Davis Station I didn‘t need to inform my next in command about any issues in regards to performance or fitness for duty or, to generalize it, for any issues in general.

     

    Q6: The Department‘s MPP requires me to evaluate Deputies on: Relationship with citizens, other Deputies, other agencies; their integrity and ethics; their officer safety; their driving skill and much more. If it pleases this court, I‘ll continue further. 

     

    Q7: Mr Medina has been reassigned to this Department‘s Field Training Program in August 2023. That‘s all the information I know from the top of my head. If it pleases this court, I‘ll go ahead and request further documentation and details on Mr Medina‘s employment history.

     

    Deputies, usually, spend two to four years in a LSSD correctional facility before they are being reassigned to the Department’s Field Training Program, if a Deputy applies for that assignment.

    Q1: Lieutenant Wankowicz, based on Mr. Medina's history within the Sheriff's Department, have you ever noticed anything suspicious at all about his activity?"

      A1: No, I can't say I have. 

     

    Q2: Based on Mr. Medina's overall performance, was there anything to determine him unfit for the Department?

     A2: Judging by Mr. Medina's abilities on field; no.

     

    Q3: Lieutenant Wankowicz, have you had any interactions with Mr. Medina in the field? If yes, what can you tell us about them?

     A3: Nothing but the usual day-to-day business. I supervised a few vehicle pursuits Mr. Medina took part in and observed a few of his calls, such as a traffic stop, but nothing out of the ordinary or noteworthy.

     

    Q4: Has there ever been any discussion within the Command Staff in regards of Mr. Medina's behavior and field expectancy?

     A4: No. I'm not aware of any discussions in regards to Mr. Medina in general.

     

    Q5: Has there ever been a report, internal or not, that you're aware of, submitted about Mr. Medina and his behavior?

     A5: No. I'm not aware of any reports regarding Mr. Medina.

     

    Q6: Was the Sheriff's Department ever informed about an investigation on Mr. Medina about this case, or has the Department ever investigated him?

     A6: I can not talk on behalf of the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. I'm currently assigned as Relief Watch Commander. I'm not aware of any case and I do not know if the Department ever investigated Mr. Medina.

    [QOL SUGGESTION] /checkgun

    in Rejected Suggestions

    Posted

    Currently, if you store (as a LEO) weapons into your vehicle, you can't really see what kind of weapon is on which slot, which is why a simple command like /checkgun might be interesting. You're not always in your own vehicle.

     

    Example: If I put my beanbag in, it should be (1). If I put my rifle in afterwards then it should be (2). 

     

    Also: If I take my beanbag (1) out, my rifle automatically becomes (1). That should be changed. If I take (1), then (2) should remain (2) to avoid confusion.

    In agreement, typical QOL suggestion. Would go hand-in-hand with:

    volume idea is good but ima keep it real 80-90% of the ppl i know or interact with don't even have their ringtone on and their phone only vibrates (me included), so maybe that should be an option as well

     

    Current state of the economy.

    in General Discussions

    Economy is a big issue right now. 

     

    I think we all appreciate that you are giving your best to keep the economy as stable as possible, but the elephant in the room is that there is, as of now, no real way to get around the map properly. People need vehicles. Everyone, as of now, is either on foot, is using faction vehicles or is using job vehicles to go around the map.

     

    I don't mind the loan system. It isn't bad, but it involves, more or less, grinding. I'm providing a few examples (just faction pay, no temporary pay). I am, to keep this easier, always playing seven hours a week in every example.

     

    Spoiler

    My character works for the LSSD as Commander. He, currently, earns (without the social security payment) $430 per payday. That is - understandably - above average. My character is no friend of fast vehicles, so the "Sport" section under pdm.com in-game is taboo. My character wants to go for a muscle car. The "Muscle" section it is. I found the Sabre GT. Seems like a decent fit for my character, so let us do the math now.

     

    $35,238 excluding tax. I'm going for the cheapest Diesel motor. Default wheels. No lock, no alarm, nothing fancy. This comes out:

    I went for 15%. My character would pay back in 12 months, coming to a weekly payment of $736. That is more than just fair. Keep in mind: My character is one of the best-paid characters on the server right now. It is no big deal for this character to pay back the loan.

     

    => $3,010,00 if I play this character seven hours a week ON-DUTY. No other expenses.

     

    Per hour: $430

    Per week: $3,010

    Per month: $12,040

     

    Let us do the maths with my other character:

     

    Spoiler

    My other character is, surprise surprise, also a LEO. He's a Sergeant and currently earns about $170 per paycheck. Now my Sergeant character wants the same vehicle. The same deal:

     

    mTHjsUz.png

     

    I went for 15%. My character would pay back in 12 months, coming to a weekly payment of $736. Remember, I get $170 per payday.

     

    => $1190 if I play 7 hours a week ON-DUTY. No other expenses.

     

    Per hour: $170

    Per week: $1,190

    Per month: $4,760

     

    My character can definitely pay back the loan. It is possible. It is going to be hard - but not impossible - to pump cash into the circulation, as that'd be missing at the end of the week. 

     

    And, surprise surprise, my third character is also a LEO. I know. I really love to play LEO characters.

     

    Spoiler

    This character is, in our example, a simple Deputy Sheriff. This guy is earning $110 per paycheck. Same vehicle. Same deal.

     

    mTHjsUz.png

     

    =>$770 if I play 7 hours a week. OK, here's where I am going to struggle. I can't have any other expenses, otherwise I'd risk losing my vehicle. It is still possible, agreed, but I'm unable to pump some of that cash I earned back into the economy.

     

    Per hour: $110

    Per week: $770

    Per month: $3,080

     

    These are three of my examples. Every example I provided presupposes that I:

    • play at least 7 hours a week
    • spend 7/7 hours ON-DUTY
    • don't have any other weekly expenses I have to pay in-game (e.g. a house, rent)

    I'm gonna provide one last, fictional example.

     

    Spoiler

    I've just created a new character. I don't want to do much. No script jobs, no faction, no nothing. I wanna roleplay with a group of friends. This character is living off of the temporary assistance payment we get every hour until we reach level 4. That's gonna be 36 hours. Thank you for looking it up for me, by the way, Duco.

     

    mTHjsUz.png

     

    => $1995 if I play seven hours a week.

     

    Per hour: $285

    Per week: $1,995

    Per month: $7,980

     

    If I play seven hours a week for a whole month, I still have 8 hours left where I'd get $285.

     

    Maybe others want to calculate their character's income and expenses as well, so Staff can use our examples to work out how the system needs to be adapted to work the best.

     

    As for my personal opinion: It seems to work out, but I can't lose the feeling that I, sooner or later, have to grind. I'm no friend of grinding. And keep in mind: There's going to be other expenses too. Rent, gas money, maybe narcotics here and there, maybe a firearm, maybe citations. It needs to be adapted, but I don't have enough insight to help you out here. I hope the examples are going to help you out.
