Might I suggest adding special file hits? These types of things pop up on the police computer screens when checking license plates, names, social security numbers, etc, to give the officer better information on whom they're dealing with. Most of the time they won't result in an arrest based solely off the hit, but could warn how a person might act. These are not callouts; they are things you'd discover while on a call/traffic stop.

 

Example, you run a name, a hit comes back, the person is a...

• Wanted Person (arrest ped immediately)
• Foreign Fugitive (inform dispatch to contact FIB)
• Missing Person (take custody of the ped)
• Person w/ Information (take statement from ped)
• NCIC Gang (be warned of potential threat)
• Known or Appropriately Suspected Terrorist (watch for suspicious items in ped's vehicle)
• Violent Person (ped could try and attack you)

Person is under...

• Supervised Release (criminal history)
• Protection Order (ped could be currently under attack)

Person is registered as a...

• Registered Sexual Offender (could have the ped hanging around a park with women nearby)

Person has performed...

• Threats Against a Peace Officer (could make the ped you're dealing with try to attack you)

Person possesses a...

• Handgun License (the ped will have a weapon on their person, might not be aggressive though)

 

I like your suggestions, but...

Suspect and possible victims around them should be randomised. Why can't it subvert the expectation that sex offender = male and victim(s) of such people = female?

Agreed 100%, would be a little unexpected twist to keep you on your toes. Real life policing is about going down every avenue and not just the ones that are more likely to be true, so it would be nice if 0.4 gave us little surprises like this. And obviously it would help challenge the stereotype which would also be fantastic.

It isn't even as if randomised suspects and victims would be "untrue" - a criminal is a criminal, gender is not relevant. But yes, challenging the stereotype would be fantastic, you're right.

I hope there is some sort of intergrated partners system for 0.4... I'd really love to have some gunners (capable of following orders) for my police maverick.

I hope you guys plan on including some kind of roadblock feature, there was the AutomaticRoadblocks mod, but it hasn't been updated for a while, plus it has crashing issues.

It was just an example but yes I agree

Of course entirely randomised suspects and victims would be untrue if you're trying to match reality. Men commit far more violent crime than women, there are entire fields dedicated to trying to explain the why of sex differences in crime, but they are most definitely there.

I certainly don't wish to start some big debate/argument, but I will say this - in my view, it is not that men commit more crimes than women, it's just that women are less likely to be caught, prosecuted, jailed, etc. Therefore the statistics are skewed. Furthermore, sometimes it is the case that a woman will incite a man to violence, making him do her "dirty work" without her risking getting in trouble. There is also the phenomenon of women being defended by men who believe that they are being attacked or some such, even when that isn't the case. Even when it is just an unfalsifiable claim.

Will there be full controller support? I'm new to gaming computers in general and I'm having trouble with the conversion a bit.

A native roadblock feature would be great, but I believe it wont be that easy as it would cause much bugs and conflicts especially with the other existing cars in the road. you cant even pull over a car in the highway without causing infinite accidents and fights etc... a roadblock? 😅

I mean, they did have the feature in LCPDFR.

I did not play lcpdfr tbh (had gta iv only on ps3), so I have no clue how they would do it but if ever this feature gets implanted that would be really really awesome...

Dying here! It's been two months! Why do you have to tease us so long! 🙂 Here's to hoping they're just waiting for the final GT 5 DLC to work out any associated bugs....

What does the GTA V DLC have to do with this? Whatever DLC Rockstar gives us has no impact on rather on how long it will take to finish LSPDFR.

I think we'll find out soon, the new update comes out on July 24th.🤞🙏

I'm still confused what you're talking about.  There have been plenty of Rockstar updates and LSPDFR hasn't needed an update. It'll still work just fine.  RPH is what will need to be updated.

Somewhat related, when the LSPDFR update comes out, won't RDE have to update their LSPDFR compatible functions?
