GTA V system requirements
Video card needs to be replaced, the power supply might need to be switched out also depending on what wattage it is to compensate for the new card. You also have to measure the inside of your case to ensure a new card will fit. Your current card doesn't even fit the minimum requirements, as it has half the ram that's required.

Neato. What's with all of the shitty Russian cop cars I see on dash cam videos? Those nice ones must only be in big modern cities. Those are what I'm used to seeing. I've also seen agencies like the FSB use BMW and Mercedes vehicles.

Las Vegas Metro Police Takes Suspect Down With Jiu Jitsu
An ANPR hit is enough to warrant a stop by the letter of the law. That being said, consider this: Very few crimes in this world would be solved or prevented if it wasn't for probable cause. if I jay-walk, I get a ticket or a warning, because I don't carry drugs on me or have a criminal record.

Las Vegas Metro Police Takes Suspect Down With Jiu Jitsu
In this sentence, the term 'the crew' is presented as a plural, implying the term 'they', so saying "they does" is not grammatically correct. Both do and does would work in this situation depending on how the sentence is being structured by the autor. Another example would be "Seal Team Six does wonderful things for America." or "Seal Team Six do wonderful things for America." Both are correct, they both mean the same thing, but one is presented as a plural, where the other is presented as a single unit, so it all depends on the context of the author. The officers radio in the initial video gets knocked from his belt, but the part he speaks into is still attached to the front of his shirt, which leaves him able to call for help in between punches or struggling to gain control of the suspects hands. You also reminded me of another scenario of a COPS crew member helping out. A man runs from a traffic stop in his vehicle with the door open. It risks striking the officer or a member of the camera crew, so the cameraman shuts it. The uploader of this video is an idiot, but this is the only clip of this episode I can find quickly.

Las Vegas Metro Police Takes Suspect Down With Jiu Jitsu
The COPS crew do intervene on very rare occasions. Two links, same video. Second one is a compilation. http://www.spike.com/video-clips/40c3km/cops-drugged-up-pedestrian-fights-officer-part-1 http://www.spike.com/video-collections/5yziws/cops-top-15-craziest-cops-moments/40c3km I've also seen a camera man interfere with a cop vs. suspect fight in Anchorage Alaska in an episode filmed in the early 2000's, and a camera man detain a passenger of a car in Lafayette Louisiana two years ago when the cop took off after the driver. The clip I linked was from two or three years ago, Metro Las Vegas PD yet again. The person was high, most likely on PCP judging by his behavior and the fact that he didn't feel any pain and had unlimited strength, and was fighting with paramedics before police arrived. This cop did not do as good of a job on the ground, but nothing ever goes 100% your way in the real world. It's likely the suspect could have got up anyway while high on that stuff. It's discouraged for safety reasons however. Boom mic operator Bryce Dion was shot and killed accidentally by police a few years ago in Omaha Nebraska while filming a shootout at the scene of a robbery inside a Wendy's restaurant. It was Omaha's first time on the show to my recollection, and they wanted to make a good impression and show America what a well trained police department they had. That went very, very wrong.

John Lang, and the situation surrounding his murder.
The police have every right to stop you after running your plates with an ANPR system, and the tactic likely "unfairly targets lower income neighborhoods" because Beverly Hills isn't exactly a dumping ground for stolen 90's Honda Civics. That being said, the video is pretty damning. http://www.copblock.org/152790/fresno-sheriff-deputies-lying-at-house-of-murdered-activist/ Apparently CopBlock visited the house after the incident, and police officers who showed up in a Toyota Camry to watch them never got out of their car, so CopBlock went up to them and asked for their I.D., and they apparently lied about what agency they were from. *EDIT* Looking up the company on the side of the van parked in front of the victim's house reveals the address of not a company, but somebody's $272,000 residential home, with the van parked deep in the driveway: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Guarantee+Carpet+Care/@36.8299836,-119.6755094,3a,75y,95.78h,90.8t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sGvIgUE7DH-Yz_hb5t13tNw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DGvIgUE7DH-Yz_hb5t13tNw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dsearch.TACTILE.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D392%26h%3D106%26yaw%3D90.842575%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xce41eb3b4b522a7e!6m1!1e1 If you move to the left from, where that Chevrolet pickup truck is parked, and look towards the house from the middle of the road, you can see the van clearly, with the truck blocking the back from view. That may or may not be a fake company. The Google reviews are hilarious as a result of the murder. Examples: Oliver Young a month ago- Great service. Had an incident a while back that involved a stabbing and even a house fire! But they were able to scrub away all trace of it, great work guys! sam k a week ago if you can handle getting stabbed to death, shady people and having your house burned down then i would definitely recommend these guys if not look for someone else w leiva a month ago There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that suggests that this company kills people and burns their houses down! Noah Gregersen a week ago- These guys are hitmen

What do you think of a P71 as a first car?
It depends on what exactly you're getting, and what your driving habits are like. Lets first figure out if you're getting a Ford Crown Victoria, or a retired CVPI. There's a huge difference between the two. The body is the same, as is most of the engine, but the police vehicles you buy used are going to have had the absolute **** kicked out of them over the course of the last 80,000-100,000 miles they've been driven. They also have a stiffened suspension which makes for a less comfortable ride, they are stripped of all but the bare essentials for the interior and most options, some don't even have regular back seats, or back seats of any sort at all. The center console (if there is one) will be stripped out and may have wires hanging all over and around it from the radio and siren boxes being ripped out, the spot light will stil be attached, along with mounting points for the old LED lights that were on the vehicle. The CVPI version offers slightly better gear changes, but not much else over the civilian version. Both will have terrible gas mileage, both of them are extremely heavy, both of them are very big, both of them are cumbersome to drive through tight spaces and turns (sort of like driving a boat, but low to the ground), and the CVPI version with a spot light and ram bar still attached may even get you unwanted attention from civilians trying to flag you down because they think you're a cop who can help them in the event of an emergency. The CVPI's are built to last; for the 80,000-100,000 miles they are used before the police auction them off. The civilian versions are built similarly; but at the end of the day, they're Fords. Bad quality interiors, frequent repairs needed for the cooling systems, tire pressure sensor faults, frequent AC recharges if you live in California like you do. And the parts are cheap because the cars are still in use by police and taxi fleets for another couple of years. They went out of production in 2012. As the years go on, those parts are going to become less and less available, making the part costs increase. But I wouldn't worry about small things breaking. On the CVPI, the things that take the most abuse will be the transmission and the brakes. Brakes are replaceable, a new transmission means a new car. The civilian version will have even wear. But it's just an unweildly, antiquated sedan that can be outperformed and bested in efficiency by plenty of other four doors on the market from other companies. TLDR; Don't. I'm speaking from experience, as an SUV I drove for a long time was a Ford fleet model, retired from a major American fire department. Poor quality interior, terrible ride quality, very low horsepower (207HP for a heavy SUV), ruined driver seat, small problems galore, including ruined brakes upon purchase, a tire pressure sensor fault, 3-4 broken u-joints, semi-functioning A/C that needed a recharge and had a broken setting (and no air re-circulation was even available as an option on the car), a broken thermostat that set off the overheating sensor prematurely, a traditional crack down the middle of the tail gate by the Ford logo which happened on most 2004-2009 models that were garaged in a state with changing climates, a $500 thermostat housing repair and a ruined stereo system. That was for about $7,000, and oddly enough that was the best I could get for that price, as cars that costed less were auctioned off instead of being sold at a dealership, and anything else in the same class that was better quality was another $2,000 to $3,000.

New Upgrades to the Interceptors bullet proof doors
If I man interject, not being a gun expert shouldn't disqualify him from giving a reasonable argument that the 2nd amendment is antiquated and has needed a page 1 re-write for a long time, or the fact that gun culture in America appears to the rest of the world to have very little 'culture' in it. We can have a gun control debate in another thread, but I'd like to at least stick up for 'thegreathah' real quick. Back on the topic of which countries will use it: As far as other countries using the feature, how many countries outside the U.S. and Canada are using Ford vehicles? Most police videos from eastern European countries I've seen feature crappy little hatchbacks with a canal boat engine in them, England uses Vauxhalls, France uses Peugeots or Renaults, Germany uses BMWs and Mercedes, Australia uses GM vehicles (Holden), etc. Can anyone shed some light on this? I also see this as being yet another thing to slow down the already mediocre police cars that Ford produces. 0-60 in 6 seconds? Not anymore. Enjoy the extra weight. Stable SUV frame? Not anymore. Enjoy the worsened center of gravity problem

Las Vegas Metro Police Takes Suspect Down With Jiu Jitsu
This is a great analysis video by Gracie MMA of a COPS episode that aired a few weeks ago: The backstory: The suspect in this video was observed jay-walking. When the officer contacted him (politely), the man said he was trying to catch a bus. The officer said that he wouldn't hold him up long, asked him a couple of basic questions, then stated he wanted to pat him down for weapons. The suspect was apprehensive with his body language and was hesitant to comply from the start. As the pat down continued, the officer felt what appeared to be drug paraphernalia in the suspects pants. As the officer goes for his handcuffs to detain the suspect, he takes off running. The officer manages to do a backside tackle to take him down, but the suspect was an amateur wrestler in high school; giving him the ability to put the cop into a headlock and a tense struggle that potentially puts the officers life in danger, made worse by the fact that the struggle wound up knocking his radio loose so the ability to hit a panic button or call for backup is difficult if not impossible. The officer manages to stay on top for most of the struggle and eventually manages to get a brief call for help out before finally being able to draw his taser, strike the suspect a few times in the head and turn him over before backup arrives to make the arrest. As a result of the widespread incorrect perception of police being evil and unnecessarily violent more often than not, people in the area who don't know why the suspect ran are quick to blame the cop, and start recording with their phones, instead of helping. Gracie MMA provides police training, and gives a detailed breakdown of what this officer did right, and what an officer without good defensive grapple tactics would resort to instead. The LVMPD is one of the best trained police agencies in the country, and as a result of that, this man was able to walk away with his life. For his efforts, the officer received several contusions to his head, a wrecked name tag, a disconnected radio and a ruined uniform, view-able in the full episode.

It's me again... asking about buying a monitor for a desktop...
If I may thrown in my two cents, a ridiculously high refresh rate is unnecessary. The refresh rate and frame rate of a game are related, but are not one in the same. The common line of thought among casual gamers is that a 60hz refresh rate will make your game lag or stutter or that it hard caps your framerate at 60. That's not true. Firstly, the human eye cannot distinguish differences in frame rates above 60FPS, which is why that's considered the golden number that gamers and game developers look for. Refresh rate however does eliminate any possibility of seeing a higher frame rate mathematically, as the display screen can only refresh itself 60 times in a second at 60hz, meaning the extra FPS you get go to waste. For those who want to debate me on this issue; read these two things before you post: How refresh rate and frame rate relate: http://www.tweakguides.com/Graphics_7.html How many FPS does life run at: http://nerdist.com/your-brain-has-a-frame-rate-and-its-pretty-slow/ As far as the resolution; that's up to you. A higher resolution means more pixels, which means your video card and CPU will have to work harder to render everything on screen due to larger textures being required, more pixels to apply anti-aliasing to, etc. If you're used to a 20 inch screen with a resolution under 1080p and you're fine with that; go ahead. I run a 1080p 23" IPS LED monitor from LG, because I can't fit anything larger in the computer desk I have, and 4K resolution would only serve to slow down my frame rate and not make a huge impact (if any at all) in image quality on a screen that's 23" in diagonal measurement. If I were using a big screen TV to play on, that's another story. As far as brands go; I'd recommend sticking with the two biggest companies that make displays for a living: Samsung and LG. Sony and Panasonic don't really dip their hands into the PC market much, they mostly stick to televisions. Toshiba TV's have a high failure rate so I wouldn't consider those, Sharp makes nice displays but the colors are exaggerated. Vizio might also make computer displays but I've never seen one in person, and I don't care to Google them. You're welcome to explore other companies that outsource their displays to someone else, but you're taking your chances. Dell monitors had been using Westinghouse for a long time, when I last sold and repaired computer hardware for a living. The colors are bright and vivid but they usually use gloss screens which have issues with sun glare if you sit near an open window. If that's the case, get a matte finish, or you'll have to sit in a darkened room without a lamp behind your monitor to see clearly. HP monitors are decent too (not sure who they outsource to) but they have the same problem. Both companies don't usually have "performance" monitors as a top priority, meaning delay time might be higher (above 5ms), and refresh rates simply won't be available above 60 if you're interested in taking the advice of Zeus up above. One last thing to consider regarding refresh rates if you want to be the absolute best of the best at shooter games you play: There is a theoretical formula for improving hit detection in shooter games that you should hard cap your framerate in an effort to better sync what happens on screen with your network connection. The formula is: FPS cap = (your refresh rate x 2) + 1. For a person with a 60hz refresh rate, this would be 121fps. Here is a bit of literature on it: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/221423/is-there-any-reason-to-limit-my-fps I was required to hard cap my frame rate to participate in CAL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberathlete_Professional_League) matches for Call of Duty Modern Warfare (the original one), Day of Defeat: Source and Counter Strike: Source. The rule for Call of Duty MW was 124fps, I believe it was 300fps for the Valve games, but I can't remember. If I recall correctly, the frame cap in Valve games were supposed to match up with 300 tick rate servers (objects on the map update themselves 300 times each second). The 300fps cap would do nothing on basic servers without the tick rate adjustment. In addition to supposedly improving hit detection, the 124fps cap in Call of Duty MW also allowed you to jump on top of objects that were just inches out of reach for other players such as high tables and shelves, giving you new camping spots all over the map. There's a ton of math involved when you're an actual "serious" gamer. I'm more casual about video games now than I was when I was young.

Code 8!
There are tons of black and white LCPD cruisers on this website alone. I have a couple I uploaded myself, as I dislike the NYPD style paint job. Also, LCPD as an acronym can mean anything, I doubt this movie will take place in "Liberty City", so I think they'll be safe. I just thought it was interesting since the acronym is the same, and the font is pretty similar to the style used for the LCPDFR logo.

Code 8!
It's an indie film, so no, I haven't seen it. On another note, did you notice the interesting coincidences or Easter Eggs (depending on how you look at it) on their website and the film name itself? 1.) Code 8 means bathroom break. Not kidding you: http://www.radiolabs.com/police-codes.html 2.) Check out the department name and font on the car door in the top right: I noticed somebody donated $10,000 to have their name near the top of the credits with the role of "Co-Executive Producer", yet nobody has claimed "Executive Producer" yet for $25,000 or $50,000. Must be nice to have that kind of money to burn.

Oblivious robber threatens cabbie with gun in front of police car
I'm convinced most common criminals are from the same gene pool despite their ethnic differences. Here's a slightly extended version I found with a bit more discussion outside of the car between the driver and the cop and extra calls for priority backup. This one was 309 views. It's unlisted for some reason despite being on a news website.

What are good computer spects for LSPDFR?
You'll need both. An i3 is a dual core, generally clocked around 2.3ghz in a laptop, maybe about 3.0 in a desktop. An i5 or i7 desktop CPU would probably work out alright, and yes, a decent graphics card is a major component, but be careful not to downplay the significance of the processor. Modern game developers assume you have a quad core CPU and 8GB of RAM these days, just check out the requirements lists for the newest games to hit the streets such as Tom Clancy's "The Division" or Far Cry: Primal.

Pit Bulls as police dogs
I'm glad you've had a good experience with your Rottweilers, but that is a power house dog. They were indeed used for those purposes you outlined, but it's no coincidence that they have the strongest bite force of any dog at 348 pounds of pressure per square inch, a double coat and occasionally two sets of fangs. They also happen to like roaming in packs if possible, and due to their strength and potential for violence they are even banned in some countries completely. The only sunny side is that they at least are useful outside of being a fighting dog and that they don't tend to hold onto you when they do bite you. Pit bulls are near impossible to get off without killing it or seriously injuring it, which is why so many of the videos I posted end up with police having to shoot them to death. Neither breed is a safe dog around children in my opinion, and you better be a strong healthy adult who has a way to defend yourself if you're going to own one. I simply wouldn't advise it. Most people should just get more predictable breed. You've had the success you've had because you're a professional dog trainer. I'm sure you'd be able to turn a basset hound into a guard dog if you wanted to. You're an exception compared to most pet owners in America and around the world due to your occupation. But in general, if prospective owners look at these animals history, its mainstream use and its anatomy before you buy, you're going to get better results. I stand by my recommendation for people who want a big dog who common idiot burglars wouldn't want to f*** with based on sight; get a Great Dane. They're massive and have a deep bark, but they're actually very friendly, despite the fact that they were also originally bred for fighting (humans, not other dogs). I'll concede that I dislike pit bulls more due to their record of snapping on owners they've lived with for years, which is a trait I haven't really seen in other dogs, but both dogs can be extremely dangerous to people they don't know. And as Hystery said, 45 minutes to an hour is a lot of exercise compared to other breeds. Hounds and Danes are just as obedient and well behaved doing absolutely nothing as they are when walked and exercised constantly. Labs, retrievers, huskies, malamutes, German shepherds, dobermans, collies and the power dogs like the rottweilers and pit bulls need to spend energy, or they misbehave as you mentioned earlier. We might just have to agree to disagree. *shrug*

Pit Bulls as police dogs
Not against animals. You can't judo throw a dog or use a pressure point on it. I agree to an extent. I believe that instinctively, good officers will want to protect their own, as well as the public from an obvious threat they can stop immediately. I think in most cases opening fire on the dogs is the right thing to do. There have been some scenarios where friendly dogs get killed, certainly. But I think preserving their lives over the lives of animals that have an 8 year life span is the right thing to do generally speaking. I still say bad shooting on the part of those Russian cops as Makarovs are generally 9mm which is a caliber a lot of U.S. officers use, shame that guy in the trench coat had to suffer because the lady didn't do anything to help him. At least kick the dog under the ribs or something. I love animals, but they both got attacked by an obviously vicious animal. Do what you have to do in order to survive. *EDIT* Just found this video; body cam footage of an unprovoked attack. Absolutely no reason for the dog to go hostile. It's like a switch was flipped.

Terrorism Pranks
Yeah, that's called criminal threatening or felony harassment... that can get you put behind bars, quick. Remind me to ask you if you find terrorism pranks funny when someone blows up a bus in Hannover where you live, and then someone pretends to do it again a few months later. It happens all the time in shopping malls and schools in the middle east. I suggest you watch a program on television called "the news". It's very interesting and informative sometimes. Not very difficult at all. Look up the Boston Bombings. Those two kids killed and maimed people with pressure cookers and ball bearings. Do you really think somebody is going to be able to think that out in two seconds? How about if somebody pulls a gun out and points it at you? Are they going to shoot you or just threaten you? You don't know, do you? Why do you think police have to fire first in that situation? If you wait, you're dead. If you have nerves of steel, why aren't you in a special forces group killing these terrorists right now? Nobody knows the terror and misery of a terrorist attack like actual victims. And while I don't wish it upon anyone you know that they get their lives taken from them, it sounds to me like that's the only thing that can wipe the smile off of your face thinking any of this sh*t is funny. It won't be funny when someone you care about gets hurt or killed. And what I just described happens to people every day on this planet. You've just been fortunate enough to live in Hannover where it hasn't happened to you yet, so you should count your blessings and have a bit more sympathy and respect for the victims of these terrible people you'll likely never meet face to face.

"Suggestion"
They do on some occasions, it depends on what's in the way and where on the map you are. Keep in mind that AI vehicles have a set course that they must follow under normal circumstances. It's what prevents them from driving in opposite lanes, speeding excessively, or blowing through red lights and stop signs (more often than not) or driving up on the sidewalk striking a bunch of pedestrians. Certain dynamic circumstances change the driving behavior. Somebody being chased or scared of a gun shot will ignore driving "rules and regulations" but they will still make an effort to stay on the pavement. If they get knocked off into the grass on the side of the road, they will quickly attempt to get back on the road and continue driving. Likewise, an AI car within a certain distance of a siren will come to a halt almost immediately and pull to the left or right in an attempt to get out of the way. You also need to consider the fact that police traffic stops should often times take place in an area where you can approach the vehicle from the passenger side, not just the driver side. Having a vehicle slam into a wall because it's trying to pull as far over to the right as possible is going to prevent that, so the driver's side will be your only approach. I'm not saying great pull over behavior isn't achievable, but it's not as easy as 1-2-3. For now, press E/G/whatever your horn key is to make them move up a little, and they'll sometimes re-position themselves to a better spot. I can assure you that quality traffic stops are certainly a priority in LSPDFR since it's a major part of the game and you'll likely see it develop more over time as this is only our 2nd major public release of the mod.
