So I recently entered the world of police work with the local police department in the small town I live in.  I am still in field training, but I've learned alot.  I've also gotten the chance to see how close in a way LSPDFR is to real police work.

I how as your playing LSPDFR the player is able to put a suspect into cells.  This is very similar to real life.  This last weekend my training officer, deputies, and myself had to arrest an individual and take him to jail.  This was my first arrest.  Aside from putting him in the booking room, I got the chance to work on an affidavit at the jail for the offense the suspect committed.  I looked up the Iowa code for what he did, and got the chance to fill in the code section, which listed the elements of the crime and the penalties, and then write a narrative that described how the suspect committed those elements and why he was being put into jail.  When the suspect sees the judge the next morning, the judge then will read that affidavit to let him know the charges and whatnot.

I think it would be neat to implement this into LSPDFR as an option if there ever is an update.  It would surely make it seen more like real life.  And I'm sure not everyone would want to use it, that's why it'd be an option.  But it'd help with role playing or whatever.  And it'd add that more realism to the game.  I figure if it won't be added as an update, then I guess if someone wants they can make a mod if they come up with this idea or want something to make.

Thanks and have a great day.

As you said yourself, this is not something everyone would use (I know I wouldn't) so I doubt it'll make its way into LSPDFR itself, but I'm sure there are other plugin developers who can make something like this. I do agree, this would be quite nice for people who really want the hardcore RP experience.

Some people complain that even Albo's court system in Drug Runners is too much :D

Implementation might be a problem here, would you like people to look the paragraphs up online, or to provide an extract from CA code?

Seems like a lot of effort for no real reward. 

The thing with roleplay is that you don't need it in-game to roleplay. Roleplay is just that, roleplay. Barebones LSPDFR is usually all you need, plus imagination.

I feel the reward as you speak is making people really enjoy playing LSPDFR.  I have a friend who plays LSPDFR, who yes wants to be a real life policeman one day, but who also would like more added to LSPDFR to make the realism of it closer to a real life experiance.  I will say this too.  Since becoming an officer, LSPDFR is the closet real life police game or simulator that I have found so far that is very close to reality.

Yes you are completely right about roleplaying and how it's not exactly needed for roleplay.  However in my own mind, since it's something I'll do anyway everyday I make an arrest, I'd be nice to be able to practice real life stuff within LSPDFR.  And as SuperStumpje said, it's not for everyone, that's why if ever made its way into LSPDFR, you could make an option or whatever so not every user has to use it.

Just some thoughts of mine.  I figure this post will either be a waste of time, or may eventually become something.  Either way, if I happen to make someone else's gaming experiance that much better by adding more realism, as I know my friend Jayden would like, then that's great.

I don't think something like it will be added to LSPDFR, but that's not stopping anyone from making a plugin using the API.

Also I highly suggest you don't use LSPDFR for anything other than entertainment purposes. It is in no way a police simulator. GTA V is a crime simulator at its core.

ineseri, your correct about it not being a simulator I was just trying to think of how o could describe it's realism to the real world.  Now I want to quote you for a second.

"Also I highly suggest you don't use LSPDFR for anything other than entertainment purposes".  Not sure what your meaning there, or what you think I'm using LSPDFR for.  I use LSPDFR for my own entertainment purposes, but I do talk with other friends who enjoy it and play it as well.  Not sure I'd I even want to know what your talking about, but I don't have the slightest clue what anyone could even use LSPDFR for other than that.

I'm not really suprised that people complain about Albo's court in the drug runners.  Actually when he first came out with that I messaged him and told him what good job he did and made some suggestions to make it better.

Why provide the exact code, why not look up one and make one if your own?  San Andreas is a fictional place, so why not make a fictional code as well?

I doubt that this will ever happen, more so when I started this post, but it's an idea.
