I play the server but thought I’d go into what I’ve heard and witnessed myself.
(1) Clear roadmap of what we want the server to be and how we will get there. Relying off of our name from SAMP isn’t going to work.
(2) New features or opportunities for roleplay that are unique to LSRP, working with the illegal factions and IFM to address their concerns regarding guns.
(3) A roleplay center, in SAMP this was Idlewood and then the Mall. The map is simply too big for new players to find roleplay.
(4) Better jobs for newer players, incentives to put in hours. This is partly addressed by the social security check that players receive but it’s not enough for a player to even afford a car to get to their place of work.
(5) Balancing the police and criminal roleplay. Not necessarily meaning limiting police officers that can be on duty but limiting the response for common call occurrence. The entire LSPD and LSSD shouldn’t be chasing a suspect who evades from a traffic stop.
(6) Make staff more approachable, this includes monthly chats with management and an overall zero tolerance policy for staff being rude to players. Staff is here to assist.

SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS
COUNTY OF LOS SANTOS
CRIMINAL DIVISION
People of the State of San Andreas v. Gabriel Medina
ORDER
A law enforcement officer is entrusted with the sacred duty of enforcing the rule of law. It is therefore crucial that all law enforcement officers act with the proper demeanor and engage with the public professionally. Presented in this case is a citizen who claims that a uniformed deputy battered him, the defense argues that the deputy was actively attempting to restrain a subject who was resisting.
The United States Supreme Court in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1980) requires this court to judge Deputy Medina's actions through an objective reasonableness standard; this standard requires a holistic view of the situation. The court was informed only that there was a traffic stop where three deputies arrived, a taser was deployed, and the suspect was struck by a fist. The complaint states that these actions were performed by Deputy Torres. The victim of the case provided that he was struck once in the back of the head by Deputy Medina. However, the defense has argued that Deputy Medina was doing this in order to help restrain a resisting suspect. The state did not rebut this claim in a matter that could sufficiently dispel the claim. Therefore, the court does not find that the People have met their burden of proof to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the actions by Deputy Medina were beyond what would be objectively reasonable in the situation. The court is forbidden to infer arguments that have not been adequately argued.The court hereby finds Gabriel Medina innocent of the two counts in this criminal petition.
The clerk shall prepare a copy of the transcript of this hearing.

“Counselor, that outlines the procedure of questioning a witness and has nothing to do with you resting your case in chief. If this is not your witness the court will make the finding that the state rested their chief and case at the time they did not call an additional witness. With that determination made the court will review the prosecutions evidence to determine if the burden of proof is met.
Counselor ask your questions and after this witness the court will go into recess.”
-
“That is outside of the scope of the State’s case in chief. This is procedural and the court could infer by the state not calling another witness that they rest their case and chief. Does the state rest their case in chief and by doing so does not plan to offer any additional evidence or call any other witnesses? If the answer to that is no then your case in chief is rested.”
-
“The court did not make a record of it so now the court asks the state. Does the state rest their case in chief?”
-
-
“I’ll permit the questions. The witness is instructed to answer the question.”

“This is a lay witness, the state is not entitled to extensive pre notification. There is also no requirement that a witness be on the scene in order to testify. This witness is clearly a character witness. Your objection is overruled.
Defense, however, as a courtesy moving forward if you know you are calling a witness that you didn’t submit please notify the courts for paperwork sake.
Will the witness spell their full name for the clerk? Additionally, the witness shall raise their right hand. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you are about to give will be the truth and nothing but the truth?”

A lot of these responses hurt to see. If anyone wants to send me a personal message or reach out to me on Discord I’ll happily raise any concerns to management.
