In 0.95, just select your melee weapon, aim at the suspect and press "E". You should get the option to choose between arrest and citation. I believe F9 is citation.

In NYS revoked is worse than no license, since your license only gets revoked if you've committed other criminal acts, as Bailey describes above. Usually if their license is just expired I make them walk. If it's revoked I arrest.

Yeah i tottaly agree with that,the same applies here ! But anyway it won't end well for the person in cause, both are serious infractions.

In .95 you use the baton arrest with 'E' and there's an option to cite the person just like in .91.

does a bat work as a baton?

Anything in that weapon section should work. Baseball bat, pool cue, etc.

Yeah the bat is there by default, I replaced the bat with the baton.

0.95 -> Melee Aim at the guy and press E

Thanks guys, I get it now :unsure:

I play in accordance with UK law. So just in case anyone else does, in the UK, the Road Traffic Act creates an offence to drive a motor vehicle without the correct licence and to drive a motor vehicle whilst disqualified ("revoked" - must re-take test after disqualification period). Driving without a licence would see the vehicle being seized, and the driver reported, later appearing at court. Penalty points on the licence will follow (if no licence, they will be applied if and when they obtain one) and most likely a fine. If caught driving while banned then powers of arrest do exist and most likely will be used. A fine will be imposed by the court and an extension to the ban is very likely.

So while in-game - much like the others - I'd issue a fine to those without a licence and seize the vehicle, and arrest those who are banned.

If we are talking about real life then it depends what you are talking about. If he's a disqualified driver then he's coming in to meet Mr Custody Sergeant and Mr Cell, if the license has expired its either a warning or a summons to court.

Well I would do if he has a invalid driver license is pull the suspect off his vehicle and throw him in the river so next time he learns his lesson and never drive a car with a invalid driver license lol. No but really it all depends on the police database, if you should let him go or arrest him.

Depends on why I pulled him over in the first place. Routine check > let him go. Because of a crime > arrest

This right here.. Use logic and moral tho it might be a video game I would cry if I saw a IRL cop do this.

Most cops base it off there "mood" rather than understanding there job goes way deeper than they think I strongly believe logic and moral make a key poster boy officer not "moods"

Once again just a imo.

You really believe that? Your post has the mark of someone who has never been in law enforcement aside from what you see on TV. You'll find that an officer's job has a multitude of factors that the monday morning quarterbacks don't understand. Nice try though.

If my daily decisions as a sheriff's deputy were ONLY the result of my mood, I think you would find that nobody would ever get arrested including murderers (by your logic). I love my job and tend to be in a good mood most of the time. However, when I'm in a poor mood (again, by your logic), I'd be writing way more tickets than I write.

As for our job going way deeper, you would be happy to know that I tend NOT to write traffic citations anymore except in special cases because I find it hard to justify a $300 fine to a man or woman who will now have to decide whether to feed their children or pay the citation. In many cases, that IS real life and it is something that many officers understand. But the second I do need to write the citation or arrest someone, there will always be a spectator who wants to characterize that decision as being based off my mood at the moment. How mistaken and truly jaded that person must be to believe that.

The best thing about my job: even those who criticize the hell out of our work day in and day out have the ability to call for our service and receive a response within minutes. THAT is customer service at its finest. :thumbsup:

I admit, there are plenty of people I know that also believe that an Officer's actions are based on their mood. But there will always be people like Bailey to set the record straight :thumbsup:

Hey I always say people can believe what they want to believe. I just remind those people who complain that had they not broken the law in the first place, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I will say this though, I tend to have less problems than other deputies who I work with and I think it is because I approach situations from a different mindset than some other people do. I usually allow 14 over the speed limit before I stop a vehicle for speeding (excluding school or construction zones), and most times I write written warnings or other non-moving violations instead, and that's only if we don't have calls stacked for me to respond to anyways.

So I think that is a good example of being more than fair to the taxpayers. But at the end of the day, 99.9% of the time if you don't break the law you will never have a negative encounter with a law enforcement officer.

Having a look at my stats for the last pay period (two weeks, about 85 hours of work):

- 3 moving violations (2 speed, 1 failure to yield to school bus)

- 15 written warnings for traffic violations

- 1 arrest for driving while license suspended

- 4 DUI arrests

- 2 felony arrests (First arrest was aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest with violence. The second was a simple domestic battery charge)

- Between all of that I responded to 73 calls for service

I'm sure we could all agree that had I based my decisions purely off of my mood, those 15 warnings would be citations and there would have been MANY more traffic stops. People drive like maniacs in the Tampa area, I just shake my head and keep driving to my call. :confused:

You allow 14 over? Wow that's rather generous compared to some officers here. There's a couple towns nearby where going 3 over will land you a speeding ticket, about every time. I've never had a problem with any law enforcement officer, I stick the rules and never have to worry.

I agree with Bailey. If they are revoked or suspended i will make the arrest because obviously they shouldn't be on the road for a reason and it would be wise to make the arrest because if not they could kill someone and then a whole investigation is launched and the officer could be blamed for letting the suspect go knowing he is suspended or revoked.

Hey Bailey, Does Florida have the 3 strike law? for example if i pulled someone over and they had the maximum of tickets issued they will be charged with a felony? i know Las Vegas does.

Wayne:

Florida works on a points system leading to a suspended license. Various citations (moving violations) will put points on your license if you plead or are adjudicated guilty of the violation.

- 12 points within 12 months = 30 days suspension

- 18 points within 18 months = 3 months suspension

- 24 points within 36 months = 1 year suspension

Citations generally carry points ranging from 3 up to 6. Off the top of my head I know speeding 15+ over the limit is 4 points, less than 15 over is 3 points. Reckless driving is 4 points and unlawful speed contributing to an accident is 6 points. The majority of other moving violations are 3 points.

Oh Okay, Thanks for explaining that. That cleared it all up:)
