A topic that is not really talked about in the gaming community or even wanted in the real world is paperwork. Oh yes, I am going there girlfriend. I've noticed that many members of the community have a desire to bring added realism to this mod by suggesting the implementation of different player animations, police equipment and so on. Everyone seems to overlook the paperwork aspect of all this and I believe it is a great feature that can add that missing touch but of course as an OPTIONAL FEATURE. Based on the title of this you may be already knowing what's coming, actually writing tickets.

 

   When logging on to the computer there is the options of "Search Database", "Enable ANPR" and "Chat". "Write Ticket" (or something along the lines of that) should be added to the computer options. This would be where you would fill in the blanks. All the necessary fields to fill in would be there such as officer name/badge #, location, offence committed, name of subject that committed the offense, vehicle make/model, amount subject must pay (must be reasonable amount), date/time, etc. I must say that I don't know 90% of the make/ models of the cars in GTA IV so in addition to receiving the drivers name and date of birth, the officer should receive info of the vehicle in the form of vehicle registration (this would make it easier to identify if the vehicle is stolen). All this info would be displayed while writing the ticket. But of course, this should be an optional step in the traffic stop process and simply would exist for the realistic aspect. One more thought: this paperwork idea could be applied to when taking a suspect to jail and processing them.

 

   So there's my two cents. Remember, it's just a suggestion.   

  

  

 

  

 

Love the idea!

I Already made one.

I Used this form site thing and then created a police report, I Just keep another monitor or a laptop next to me to do it all...

But, I Think it should be implemented in-game.. So that you don't need to do all that lol.

It does feel nice to have a laptop next to me though...

Good idea it seems pretty reasonable.

 

 

The officer should receive info of the vehicle in the form of vehicle registration 

That's the suggestion I agree pretty much with, it would be more interesting even without the paperwork filling. For now we see only basic info about the driver, and in some countries lack of the vehicle registration paper is a serious violation which could lead to an arrest. 

 

Since we talking paperwork, it would also be good to see some special permits (for cabs, trucks, delivery vehicles).

 

However, I doubt LCPDFR will see any significant changes in the near future in light of GTA V arrival. Maybe this all could be done using API?

I agree with you. If paperwork wouldn't be implemented, I would really like to see vehicle registration be put into the mod maybe even in GTA V. Like I said in my main post, it would be a good way to figure out if the vehicle is stolen.  

 

>LukeD's Callouts+ allows you to check a vehicle over the radio.

Which is where MDT's are coming in. You can do reports on your callouts and do MV Stops with tickets or warnings. 

Please implement this, yesterday! Even just a seperate script.
