ive heard that we can get in trouble for our realstic police skins is that true, not liberty city but the ones of the towns or state or sheriff departments? is that true?

No this is not true, however you can get in trouble for posting a video using the skins.

It's kinda true, Police Departments and Sheriffs Office generally don't like their insignia, liveries,uniforms etc used in videogames that may potray them wrong. for example if you use an LAPD crown vic and you plow down 20 people in GTA 4 they wouldn't like it because they're being portrayed in a wrong/disrespectful way that could reflect badly on their department. you won't get into trouble, if they take action you'll be sent a letter or email requesting for you to take them down.

 

However it's extremely rare for you to get into "trouble". they don't deal with stuff like this. so you're safe feel free to upload your skins whenever, the thousands of other modders haven't gotten in trouble for releasing their work, so i doubt you'll get into trouble.

I don't really believe you can get in trouble for posting a video of the skin however, it may be true.

 

Uploading a skin, based or exactly alike a true department won't get you in  any trouble. If you somehow make that skin offensive to anyone, or you have uploaded a skin you did not make (without permission and credits) then you will get in trouble.

Not as I know of. Police forces dont really like it but if you use them in a video or upload be sure to provide a discaimer and then it should be fine.

They're not going to sue you, at most they can ask you to take it down or contact us if you upload it here and ask us to take it down.

 

Although most uses should be covered by fair use.

Well if make the skin then do patrol with it you can

How can a police department...which is a public service....tell you to not make videos because you're using the logo that the city owns? I think it's wrong for them to do that....plus there department is being promoted.

Well say you go run people over, and post it on youtube and the department finds out. They're not going to like that

True....but what if you're not...I'm talking about the use of the logos.

 

Well then it should be alright
