Hey guys! I was just playing and realized that I've never had an instance in LSPDFR where I approach a driver on a traffic stop and had them shoot at me. I remember in LCPDFR this would happen occasionally, and really made me act more defensively on stops. Is this a feature that I've just never experienced, or has it been removed all together? I kinda miss it.

Are you patrolling in the bad neighbourhood? The one where Franklin and Lamar live before Franklin gets his new house?

You definitely haven't experienced it yet.

 

I've had folks shoot me from the driver's seat and passenger seat. They've used firearms and tasers before.

 

Sometimes they get out to shoot, or get out to stab me with a knife.

 

Just keep playing; I'm sure you'll be ambushed and murdered eventually.

it is very, very rare, BUT it does happen. I've even had a passenger taze me whilst i was speaking to the driver.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I've been playing since release and never had anything at all like that. Guess I'm just lucky!

I've been tased on one of my first LSPDFR traffic stops from the driver while he was still in the car and a few times since. It happens, but it's rare.

Sounds like most of you are talking about traffic stops spawned by a callout, like Albo's Traffic Policer for example. I have never seen the driver in a normal traffic stop (not spawned by a plugin) just pull out a gun and start firing. They either take off or cooperate.

I've pulled over a taxi before and the passenger pulled out a pistol and started shooting at me.

 

While it doesn't happen all the time, I think it's at a good percentage chance of happening. It used to happen to me in IV, what felt like every 5 cars I'd pull over.

Just being honest here; who seriously plays LSPDFR without a single plug-in? I got bored with the same 6 callouts within 30 minutes..

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can't pull a regular ped over for xyz that wasn't spawned by a callout.

True, but I've had events happen like that before by pulling over a regular ped.

 

I pulled a guy over for running into another car and he got out and started stabbing me. I've also had random peds tase me and drive off.

 

It may be far more unlikely, maybe, but it must be within the code for LSPDFR itself for that to happen.

I don't think it will happen if you have just the base lspdfr installed. The only callout plugin I have is "Assorted Callouts" by Albo and it happens 50% of the time. The taser, knife, gun or even 3 random "drive-by" peds will pull up and start shooting. I also had a van full of peds pull up and take me out. So it's there, lol.

I'm not sure that it is Assorted Callouts. Looking at the features on the download page, there's no mention of anything like that, nor is there in the .ini

Sounds like Traffic Policer (which is also a callout mod, in addition to ambient events) as I'd mentioned earlier.

Could be Traffic Policer. Again, though, no mention of that kind of event on the download page or in the .ini.

Don't need a description, I've been tazed, stabbed, and shot by enough of Albo's ANPR and various other callouts to have my own description. ;)

Those ANPR suspects really are some of the city's most hostile people, aren't they? xD

The whole Traffic Stop ambush concept only exists in Traffic Policer's ANPR Hit: Owner Wanted callout. 

I could make it an ambient event too if people are interested.

There's the answer! I personally don't enjoy that callout, and rarely take it, so that explains why I've never experienced the ambush scenario.

 

It would be cool to have that included in the other Traffic Policer ambient events. Thanks for settling the issue, Albo!

Why don't you enjoy that callout? It includes exactly what you're asking for, lol.
