It isn't outright stated however subtly implied that Michael Houston spent 20 years on patrol as STAFF 1...

Gather evidence, make a report. Same thing we have to do as law enforcement RPers when we suspect another player is using 3rd party modifications to gain an advantage.

That's a huuuge overdramatization.

What are you talking about 😭

Yeah, 2013 was 11 years ago and 2015 was 9, soon to be a whole decade ago. All law enforcement organizations have undergone YEARS of reforms since then, notably since 2018-19.

From when until when was the D'Aquila Crime Family an active faction?

First of all, if SilentPatch is allowed, then it's allowed. Take it up with Server Management if you don't like it, but don't try to paint LEO RPers who simply happen to use it as evil P2W merchants who only care about fucking over as many illegal RPers roleplay as possible. I can't really comment on your second point because I haven't had much interaction with criminals lately besides being mowed down for the pettiest reasons. It's clear you lack the law enforcement knowledge needed to obtain a full and level understanding of LEO vs Illegal relations. First of all, what you're describing is a felony stop, and that occurs when a vehicle and/or it's subjects, who have been pulled over, are for a plethora of reasons, which I won't list right now are to be placed under arrest. These felony stops aren't pulled out of PD/SD's ass, no they aren't OP or P2W, yes they are necesarry in certain scenarios, yes it's been practiced forever, yes it happens IRL more than you think. Also, let's take one bad apple from PD/SD like usual and stick them out like the sore thumb that they are and then pull the victim card "Oh one officer/deputy did this, now I want immunity from all of the consequences I could possibly face roleplaying a criminal." But I can sympathize with you considering illegal roleplay is mostly about running away from consequences, so you must've adopted the mentality OOCly aswell. 😊 If you, however experience or simply witness a LEO RPer breaching any server rules or departmental regulations, nobody is stopping you from filing a complaint on the officer/deputy's respective forums (PD: police.lsgov.us, SD: sheriff.lsgov.us) or taking it up with an admin if necesarry! No I don't want to defend my friends, I simply want to shed light on the illegal roleplayers like you, who always get a sudden case of yappatito bullshididis when they are about to be held accountable for something and begin spewing out the dumbest arguments to defend their case.

I very much agree with what @JesterJr said here. The whole "fair play" and "LEO is pay2win" topic is so taboo and it's always been used as a loophole for criminals to get out of sticky situations.

It's never too late, admins just need to start being pro-active and keeping everybody to a standard.

As for the cops seeing guns through windows - It is an unnegotiable term that comes with having SilentPatch, a pretty useful Patch for GTA San Andreas. I'm pretty sure most players, regardless of a vanilla/modded game have it installed and I'm also sure that this rule about SilentPatch not being allowed on LS-RP has been disbanded more than half a decade ago. Also, let's not kid anybody, who really does character development of all the illegal roleplayers running around 4-deep, constantly ambushing cops with the pettiest reasons on a traffic stop that would've earned them a ticket at max if they just RPed hiding their guns under the seats or something. We all know illegal RPers looove to play victim whenever they get the chance, due to how "overpowered" the law enforcement side is from the server when probably half of them have not been in a single law enforcement faction on LSRP and even if that doesn't limit their knowledge, they probably don't care enough to see PD/SD side, they just cry.

Can we bring back quality illegal factions instead of DM squads who somehow only have M4s and AK47s. I've been shot at with a handgun only once in the past month. All the other times it was M4s and/or AK47s. Also honorable mention to a shotgun, again a singular time. Where are they getting all these weapons from? It's insane how LSRP is supposed to be heavy rp yet every other street gang is running deep like cartels in Mexico.

i think we should just get ingame guys. even if its like 70 players if you join you're seeding the server. u can afk and go about whatever else you want to do. if more and more people do it it becomes a chain reaction. if 10 people see that the pb is 70 near peak time and hop on to afk, then the playercount will be 80 which will influence more people to hop on and so forth and so forth. seeding isn't an uncommon practice for different game servers.

Is the PD/SD "shield" still a thing on the server? Also, flashlight for LEOs

The official LS-RP cache file I downloaded is outdated and is missing like 360 something items. The issue is resolved however as I asked a fellow player for their full cache.

Hey. I've already been having problems with the cache everytime I log onto the server, even though I have it downloaded. But when I go in-game, certain custom-mapped objects like the LSPD GFU in Willowfield and the LSSD West Vinewood Station are missing. Also the residential building (i believe) on the southeast side of glen park, near skatepark. Image
