Older COPS episodes were great, modern ones not so much. I guess it's okay to cancel a show that's been running for so long. Don't care so much for this political bias tho.

BTW, have anyone encountered any traffic stop scenarios? I.e. drivers pulling the gun on you, getting out and running on foot etc. I never got any of this (and I RP as a traffic cop :D). The closest I got was a fake LEO ID on the stopped speeder...

Thanks for the reply! I'll do that. Hope that won't make them simply shoot the suspects to death on sight lol.

BTW, was the prison transport feature removed? I tried the bus parked at LSIA substation and in Paleto, and I can't get them to start the transport route to the prison.

Hello! Was wondering if there's a way to add stun guns to NPC cops? Without them they're almost useless in a foot chase. I looked at the inventory.xml file and played wit the EUP inventory file but to no avail. Would really appreciate a tip!

GTA Steam copy, latest upd, clean installation. As soon as I load LSPDFR via RPH console, it crashed and endless plugin crash messages appear. A couple of days ago it used to work, then I messed things up and did a fresh installation (deleting all leftover files from the game folder before installing anew). But.. no change. Screens attached. RagePluginHook.log

Hi! I got an unexpected week off, so I went back to GTA which I haven't launched since last August. RDE 3.1.1 doesn't seem to work well with LSPDFR (like, not well at all) so I was wondering whether I can just get the modded vehicles file out of the .oiv package? RDE vehicles are muh better than the majority of real-life cars out there. Could anyone point me to the correct direction as it's been a while and I'm somewhat rusty in GTA modding. OTOH if that's an RDE trade secret, I understand fully.

So does it work only when the person is standing still? I can see it being used to subdue mentally ill people without harming them, though.

Thanks for the detailed answers and your time! I enjoy learning something new about the US law (and law enforcement), it's so different from my home. A follow up question -- with regard to statues. I think I heard somewhere that technically you can charge the same action under state law or under a municipal ordinance. Is this really a thing? If it is, is it completely up to you to decide?

So do they have people on foot lining up at the drive-through window too? I did it myself a few times, here (Western Europe) no places are fully open at night, so that's the only way.

Thanks for the opportunity you give us! I'm very interested in the investigative part of police work in the US. How does you department handle detectives? Is it a permanent assignment? Do candidates receive any additional training on criminal investigation before they become detectives? Another one, about jurisdiction: you mentioned that you're an officer in a city, which is in a county. Do you have jurisdiction outside of the city limits? If not, what would you do if an offense was committed in the city, but the violator is located in the county -- would you go after him yourself or ask the local LEOs for help?

I tried to find any info on this guy being a part of an anti-cop movement or whatever, came up empty. Looks like he was a lone nutjob. Perhaps in the future you could include a little more of backstory? On the other hand, I find it heavily ironic that an 'anti-patriarchy' guy enrolled his daughter w/o his ex-wife permission. He clearly disregarded the wife's rights. Very inconsistent with his apparent views.

Liberal-minded in my opinion when a significant and dangerous offense gets a slap on the wrist and good wishes for whatever odd reason. I fail to see how this relates to his mental states and appropriate measures. If he's mentally ill, I hope he can be helped.

Good job by the BTP! Suspect is alive and can face trial. Now let's just hope that no liberally-minded judge decides to give him a suspended sentence.
