Tone down default backup?
We're walking a fine line with this topic. The truth is that in the real world, you're not the only cop on the planet, and you're not always in charge. You will also be joining in progress pursuits, some that have only one car, some that have a whole fleet and two choppers. That's the reality of police work in California, along with many other states. In my months of playing, this has not been a common problem. I would give the game more than a few hours of play time before we start writing in new suggestions, guys. While I can't speak for the development team, I'm sure they appreciate good feedback, and being able to customize the game is something G17 takes seriously. The way backup works has changed from version .2b, and you can expect it to change further as LSPDFR continues to go through more revisions. Please give the developers some time, and take some time on your own to play the mod before hurling a big to-do list at them.

Noticing Unmarked Government Cars in Public
I don't need to justify my driving to you or anybody else, but brushing up on your physics wouldn't hurt for future reference. Common highway speed is about 70mph in several U.S. states. (I can't speak for England, because I don't live there.) Texas as an example, (which is about three times the size of the U.K. on its own) wants to raise their speed limits to 85mph in some places. If you were to take a look at basic formulas for g-force, you'll be able to note that a crash into a solid wall at 70mph would result in an instant g-force on the human body of 98 g's. A crash at 85mph into a solid wall would result in 120 g's. Wikipedia states that a g-force of 50 g's or higher is considered lethal, so at either speed a crash into a solid wall would result in a fatality. Although, I would try and avoid any highways that have solid walls built into them. These are the formulas for your reference: Speed limits in the U.S. are largely determined by surveyors; their job is to scout out certain roads over time, monitoring traffic flow, housing population, police traffic stops, traffic accidents, road conditions and road design to work up a number of what they believe is safe. The residents of a neighborhood, town or state can request a re-evaluation of the road to either raise or lower said speed limit at any time. These requests may not always be granted, but the fact that their job exists is a testament to changing road designs, vehicle safety features and rules and regulations of the road. All of that being said, I never said I was going either 70mph or 85mph for that matter. I have a perfect driving record as of this writing. Zero tickets, zero written warnings, default insurance rates for my age bracket. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a traffic citation at some point in my life, but so far, so good. It took my mother about 40-45 years to get one, but she got one. It's a part of regular life. Now that I've said my peace, at this point, I'd like to ask you to let local law enforcement handle the local law enforcement, and the residents of the U.S. decide what safe speeds are for their own streets or highways. Our two countries are not completely alike in reference to our road systems and population density.

do i have to uninstall callouts for 0.3 v
The protocol for any issues with multiple mods is to run a clean install of LSPDFR and add mods one by one until you find out what's causing the problem. So yes, run LSPDFR without anything added to it first. Then if that goes well you can start re-installing stuff. LSPDFR is not necessarily intended to run with other stuff, but the API was made available for the best compatibility we can give.

Finish the game first?
Finish the game. It doesn't take that long to complete the core story, and there's a lot more to Grand Theft Auto V than just mods. You'll be a better player by having more experience with other weapons and vehicles.

New to PC gaming.
ZOTAC is fine. Not my first choice, but they work. Just make sure you register the warranty it comes with. You can usually RMA it within 3 years if something goes wrong. Also, high temperatures with nVidia cards are expected under load. Ideally, with a well ventilated air cooled case, your temperatures should not reach triple digits. But it can happen. I talked to a PNY rep one time back when I had an 8800GTX, and he told me that the cards were heat tested to 124C, and had an auto shut-off feature at 114C to avoid physical damage to the card, and that temps of 100C were normal under load. My 670 doesn't run that hot under load, but it's a totally different generation, and I don't own a 900 series card so I can't give you a frame of reference.

Noticing Unmarked Government Cars in Public
I was driving on the highway the other day (going over the speed limit, sorry) and as I looked over one lane to my left, up came an all black Chevy Tahoe with heavy black tint, but I could clearly see LED lights mounted in all of the windows. I had never seen the vehicle before and I slowed down a tad, despite the fact that it was actually going faster than I was when it passed me. I then noticed it had a plate from another state, so I resumed my "regular speed". No idea what that vehicle was or who it belonged to. It was not a 'GO' plate but it was totally unmarked, and I've never seen that vehicle used by any agency in the state it was from. Maybe it was a personal vehicle.

New call out
What did you have in mind exactly? You can already scope out prostitute pickup areas and wait for johns to let one into their car, then perform a traffic stop. No callout needed. A "sting" would be posing either as a prostitute and getting picked up, or posing as a john and doing the opposite. That would involve disabling the radio traffic, changing your pedestrian model, removing all of your weapons, driving some other stock car with no emergency equipment, and a lot of "wait and see". That's not really an LSPDFR experience in my book, but who knows. Somebody else may see it another way.

Number of Mods
That's most likely not the script causing you to crash, just the amount of activity in your game going on. Your PC can't handle that many AI police units on screen at once apparently.

Head of Rockstar steps down!?
Sad to hear, but the Rockstar team already knows the formula for creating hit GTA games. They stumbled onto it accidentally in 2001, and have simply built on it ever since by adding more cars, more missions, bigger maps, and better story writing. I'd be a lot more concerned if there was a mass exodus of the entire development team. I also don't think they can go anywhere with Max Payne anymore, nor can they do anything that would excite me with the Red Dead Redemption franchise, as you can only milk a 40 year time period for so long. I foresee Rockstar developing entirely new franchises to replace these, or maybe reviving games like Manhunt or Bully for second installments. All fine by me, so long as they stay away from the 'State of Emergency' franchise. God that game was terrible.

[Call Idea] Evacuation
It would take a while to get something this in depth functioning as intended within LSPDFR, however the basics of getting people in the area to simply run away from the area was already there in LCPDFR, so it's certainly possible.

RageHook and Lspdfr
I'd suggest you create a support topic and give as much information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work" can't really help us solve the problem.

Building A Patrol Car
Want to see how a police cruiser is put together? The Boise City Police Department in Idaho show you how it's done step by step, as they got rid of their Crown Victoria fleet prior to 2012. In this video you see how the car arrives bone stock, electronics installation, light bar installation and customization, ram bar installation, and livery installation. Enjoy.

Traffic stop problem
You need to be more specific. What mods you have, where you're making the stops, types of pedestrians you're stopping, how many times you've tried this, how long this has been a problem for, etc.

Police interfering
I'm kind of surprised I just stumbled onto this topic now, but this is going to vary widely depending on where you live. You in particular are from the UK, so I couldn't tell you what your laws are, since I live in America. However in America, it will differ depending on what state you're in, and laws are constantly changing. I'd like to point out a few things. - In general, country wide: Nobody can have the expectation of privacy when in public. In other words: Nobody has the right to privacy outside or in any other public space, this includes police officers. Only when in your house or a place of business are you guaranteed the right to privacy. This is why most news crews have to film outside of a location of interest instead of in it. State law may permit them to film, but the owner of the building can tell them to f*** off, so you'll often see reporters standing across the street from a place of interest since they are not allowed on the property. It's also one of the reasons over the years people have seen a decrease in the need to blur faces of people out for television. This has been supported by numerous court cases all across the country, many of which have been specifically about the right to film police activity. - Laws will change from state to state and in my opinion depend largely on political activists in the state repeatedly challenging cops who try and get you to stop filming. Police will usually do this through intimidation first, then by citing some kind of law against it (whether it exists or not) and it may escalate to physical force. You shouldn't let it get to that level, because despite the fact that a police officer cannot confiscate your property for no reason, as it's a violation of your fourth amendment right to prevent illegal search and seizure, just simply struggling against an attempt of a cop to pry an iPhone from your hand can be written up in a report as resisting arrest or assault. Most of the time, recording the police is a lot more trouble than its worth. Because in order for these laws to change, a lot of arrests have to happen first where people repeatedly go to court and beat the case. Let some other ass**** do it. I would only record the police if you find them to be repeatedly unfair to you, have negatively shifted changed the tone of a conversation during a traffic stop where you fear for your physical safety, or you're at a good distance and you see them outright hurting somebody. Make sure you study the laws in your state very closely. Some states require you to inform a person you're filming that you are about to film them before the camera turns on. Some of them require you to ask for permission. Some states have no clear legislation about filming at all. Some states let you film all you want. If you're afraid of all police encounters in general, the problem likely lies with you, but you can mitigate the risk of a police officer attempting to stop you from filming by doing a few important things: 1.) Obey the law. 2.) Mind your own business. 3.) Shut the f*ck up when he's talking to you and don't argue. That won't make him or her go away. 4.) Don't shove a camera in his/her face. You can record respectfully with a hand held camera. See the 'superspeedersrob' YouTube channel for a lesson on how to do that by viewing some of the 'Best Cop Moments' videos, and seeing how the camera is positioned. 5.) Don't be a YouTube constitutionalist who says "Am I being detained? Am I free to go? I know my rights!". 99% of those people don't know their rights, they only know what they've seen on the internet, and the majority of those videos are about people who specifically try to bait officers into a confrontation. Studies show that about 42% Americans can only name a single branch of our own government, and 35% cannot name any branch of our government, and a majority of them do not know what the bill of rights is. About 66% do not know what the Food & Drug Administration does. About half of all Americans do not know that each state has two senators, and slightly more than half cannot name their congressman. The average voter thinks that foreign aid makes up 24% of America's budget each year. It's actually less than 1%. As of 2014, most Americans thought the country's unemployment rate was 32%... It was 5.8% 24% of people could not name the country we fought in the Revolutionary War. Yes, you read that correctly. (You're off the hook, England, congrats!) And a Gallop Poll showed that 18% of Americans think that the sun revolves around the earth. Sometimes I can't even believe I'm sharing the same continent with these people. This is not a population of people who can outsmart the police. They need to either read up, or cut the s***. 6.) Hiding the camera probably isn't any better of an idea than trying to shove it in their face. 7.) Buy a dash cam, point it at the window they're approaching when stopped. When the cops say "How's it going today? I'm Officer ________ with the _________ Police Department. Just letting you know this conversation is being recorded on dash cam.", you now have the option of saying "Okay, same here." Dash cams are about $100 on average and can be a great tool in defending you against citations you don't deserve. 8.) Support police in your town getting body cameras. Most major P.D.'s have them and a lot of small town agencies are starting to get them. The fact that they have a camera on them will make yours largely irrelevant, meaning they won't care if you're filming or not so long as you don't obstruct their business. The bottom line is that not only is this country changing, but this planet is changing. The digital age has ushered us into a world where nothing we say or do is private anymore. Everything is going to be monitor-able, like it or not, and eventually all police agencies are going to have to adjust for that just based on the fact that they are now equipped with body cams. For now, worry about yourself first and consider what I said above to keep yourself out of trouble. Overall, there are very few instances where you really need to record the police. I've been stopped about 8 times in my life (most of them within the same couple of years because I was young and stupid) by the police, and each interaction was perfectly fine with the exception of one with a cop who had a bad attitude, but even that one let me off with a verbal warning about my speed because I didn't give him any actual problems (he just had to make them up and swear at me instead to vent his frustrations). Even if that had been on tape it would have just resulted in me maybe filing a complaint about his conduct with his chief which likely would have resulted in nothing happening. Some people have a bad attitude and there's not much I can do about that.

Scared
Are you sure you just didn't leave yourself logged in and then somebody came along and f***ed with your profile when you weren't looking? That's usually what happened every time a customer brought a computer to me with that complaint, especially if it was Mac, since closing the window doesn't actually close the application in MacOS. Plus the message sent sounds like it was sent by somebody your age or younger, not by a terrorist hacker with theological motives.

Computer Buying Advice (Found one) No more comments
No, I'm not going to do the searching for you. But these games require "a big gaming desktop" if you want to run them well with higher detail settings, that's the point of all of this. $400 computers are meant for word processing and updating Facebook, not 3D gaming.

Possible LSPDFR Multiplayer?
LSPDFR has a very long way to go before multiplayer is going to be considered a priority. One of the most important goals is to get the mod up and running with most if not all features that were in LCPDFR. Then we can look into adding in new things here and there, making sure everything is polished, and when the development team is 100% satisfied with what they have, and if multiplayer outside of the official servers is a thing at that point in time, then multiplayer work might begin. People are really enthusiastic about something that's not possible at the moment. I get it, group patrol is fun, but face the reality of the situation Rockstar and TakeTwo have put us in: We don't have a way of legally using scripts in a multiplayer server without risking getting banned. Until that problem is solved, talking about potential multiplayer features is a waste of time.

Macbook Buying Advice
Desktop i5's are quad core, that's why it runs "great". I sold and repaired PCs and Macs for years. I can tell you from experience; buying an i5 Macbook is like buying a $600 PC and shoving an SSD in it before gluing it shut. The laptop i5 chip is a dual core i3 with slightly higher clock speed (sometimes) and hyperthreading. Dual cores were introduced back around 2005/2006. It's 2016, get a quad core if you want to keep this thing long term, especially since we're not talking about a desktop you can upgrade. Laptop i5's are dual cores.

Macbook Buying Advice
FYI The Core i5's are dual cores, or at least they always have been up until the last couple of years. I haven't sold or repaired computers for a while. Your only shot at getting a quad core is buying the most expensive or 2nd most expensive Pro's. They have quad core i7's at a couple of different clock speeds.

Best Christmas presents?
Decided to add one more to my library. Since the original launch the game has a lot more content and has even had graphics updates. It even has motorcycles now. I plan on starting a big car collection in that game. Police chases look fun and the map is huge, so I'm looking forward to it. Installing it now, actually. Good distraction while they fix Rainbow Six Siege.

All Blue Lights Question
Actually Massachusetts State Troopers do have one or two red lights in their light bars. Town and city police do tend to use flat blue, though. Oddly enough, some of the newest ambulances are using blue in their light configurations now. In GTA IV you would have to alter the skin of the light bar itself by changing the colors of the red lights to blue, then you would have to change the actual flash color to blue using the ELS configuration files. Since we don't have ELS for GTA V yet, I don't know if you can change anything other than the skin. Maybe the radiance mod can do it, I haven't played around with the cars in the game yet.
