I haven't read through all the suggestions or features already offered so excuse me if they are already implemented.

I was looking through the forum and did see some mods made by individuals that I feel should be part of the main LSPDFR

• Would it be a lot to have different precincts for role play?
• State Police, Individual County Police, Forestry, FBI (entire map), Marshals (Airports), Coast Guard (docks, ports and water), etc.,
• Officers could be alerted when leaving their own precinct with red warning text using Player Location Display.
• Doing so would require calling for back up with the appropriate jurisdiction.

I like the idea, however I don't think it'll appeal to the mass majority in order for it to be implemented within LCPDFR itself.

I see it being produced as a seperate plugin or mod but not a default feature of LSPDFR since many won't want or need to use it.

I myself do not give a damn about the jurisdictions, I prefer to just play and keep it simple, arresting and chasing bad guys. 

Of course there'll be some who will want this feature, but it doesn't seem like it should be part of the main mod as it'd require quite a lot of work for the majority to just disable it.

Well,I figured there are already games like ENFORCER and 10-19 (coming soon) that feature shoot 'em up open world chaos for those seeking that.

LSPDFR was geared more toward the hard core RPer (at least I thought so) where, like IRL jurisdictions do indeed play a role.

The idea i presented gave some validity to your initial choice.

Why choose a Forestry or Coast Guard patrol car to police the city streets?

There are no Coast Guard patrol vehicles in GTA V. The marked vehicles are LSPD, LSSD, and park rangers (the bikes are also LSPD, even though they're used by SAHP). To go with realism, California state park rangers have authority throughout the state (they're paid to deal with parks, but can arrest anywhere, and there are also often parks in cities that they'd be paid to handle). CHP have statewide authority also. LASD and LAPD officers have the authority to arrest statewide for offenses committed in their primary jurisdiction, or things done in their presence posing a risk to life or property or a risk of escape. Hot pursuit is allowed; officers don't legally have to hand off their cases as they cross county or city lines. Feds, of course, don't need to worry about internal subdivisions when performing federal duties (although under California law, federal agents actually do have the same authority to enforce California laws as California peace officers do). State prison guards don't have generic statewide authority, but do a job outside the area right around prisons, and have statewide authority to do that job. In no case, then, do any of the peace officer types parodied in V legally have to call local backup; if they do call local backup, it's just per agency policy (since they're not paid to patrol everywhere), but even then I don't think pursuit would be an issue.

 

So, no. I don't think LSPDFR should force you to follow one narrow view of RP, leaving aside both people who want to patrol everywhere and people who RP according to the actual way California law works.
