No, that's not how the word "deprive" works. I'd understand if you attacked the idea that it's "depriving the community" because it makes it seem like the community has a right to have models released at all. But if we're going with "no models released = deprived community," the people who are actually doing the depriving are the people not making and releasing models. Unless the people opposing a model lock are preventing people from uploading models (which they are not, because a) no one has any real say in the matter except people who can reverse-engineer V's file formats and b) it is quite possible to release unlocked models), they're not depriving anyone of any models. They're not even depriving anyone of a model lock feature, because they don't have a say (nor do any modelers, for that matter). Here are some tenable positions: "There's no 'depriving,' because no one has a right to any mods unless they make it themselves or pay someone for it." "If the community is deprived of mods, it doesn't fall on anyone more than anyone else: anybody can make and release models if they wish, and people who modeled for IV have no special obligation. I'm not releasing because I am not satisfied with the terms available. Others aren't because they're not willing to make the effort to make the models. There's no real difference." "People who know how to make car mods are depriving the community of those, because we aren't satisfied with the terms. Tough." Here is NOT a tenable position: "Really, it's all your fault that I choose not to release because the only terms are the ones you like." While we're at it, can we stop pretending someone using your model without permission and without credit is like someone breaking into your house and stealing something? It's a really terrible analogy: it is accurate in that someone has something that you did not want them to have, but inaccurate in literally every single other way. For instance, there is a risk of violence when someone is entering your house to steal stuff. That's why burglary is such a serious crime. No risk of personal harm exists with violating modding norms. Likewise, no matter what anyone else does, you still have your model. That's why models are different from things like toasters: you don't lose your model just because someone else uses it for their own purposes and claims that they made it.

Stick on topic. "Who would be a better presidential candidate" is not on-topic.

Advice: Remap the keys so that "draw pistol" is on the mouse. I have it as middle mouse button, which solves this issue neatly.

I'm really not sure what media you've been following. This has been being talked about since June or so.

Here's the issue with speaking your mind: It doesn't work so well if what you think is stupid and/or wrong. Here's the issue with blaming political correctness for everything: There actually are things that are simply a) offensive and b) completely and totally wrong. Trump says a lot of those things, and then says that because they're offensive he shouldn't be criticized for saying them. Offensive things can be false. Trump says a lot of false offensive things. Basically, Trump is a perfect example of "better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

But what if a bear kills someone? Would the bear be arrested and charged? In the US, things that aren't human aren't charged with crimes, but that's because they aren't entitled to legal process (a bear which kills someone isn't detained and put on trial, it's just killed).

Incorrect. The Fifth Amendment does not apply to the states, only the federal government. That actually holds for the entire Bill of Rights: none of the ten amendments apply to the states. What *does* apply to the states is the Fourteenth Amendment, which (among other things) says that no state can deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Now, US law has a notion of "substantive due process," which is an interpretation of the term "of law" in the phrase "due process of law." Specifically, laws which violate a right that is so fundamental as to be implicit in the concept of ordered liberty are considered to be no law at all, and so depriving someone of life, liberty, or property under a "law" that doesn't provide those rights is automatically without due process of law. It's not exactly the most natural reading, but it is well-established in US jurisprudence. Rules like "a state may not impose cruel and unusual punishment" or "a state may not search a house without a warrant or under certain exceptions" or "a state can't force someone to testify against themselves in a criminal trial," which are in the Bill of Rights for the fees, only apply to the states because violating them would violate due process. In practice, *most* of the terms of the Bill of Rights apply to the states under the due process clause; this is called "incorporation," and is common enough that normally people just mention the Bill of Rights amendment regarding the conduct in question. But the machinery matters, because not all rights have been incorporated. Jury trials in lawsuits are one such right; indictment by grand jury for felonies is another. A state has absolutely no obligation to indict felons via grand jury; in many states, many felony charges are filed using different procedures.

Which version of LSPDFR are you using?

No. I'm not sure what you mean "set up exactly like lcpdfr.com", but we are far from the only site that uses IPS4 as our forum software.

Given that high-risk state prisoners can be transferred to federal prison, I suspect the USMS handles some high-risk state offenders.

On the other hand, IV's paramedics would occasionally save someone. V's paramedics don't.

This is what NOOSE air support is great for. Or you could do what I've done and patrol in a tank.

There is one situation in which law enforcement officers have a license to kill: when carrying out a death sentence. Any other time, it must be justified by the officer: self-defense, defense of others, preventing the escape of a dangerous criminal, and preventing the escape of a prisoner (in some circumstances). The first two are options for everyone; I'm not sure about the latter two. @NYPDDetectiveODonnell: I'm really not sure what you're trying to say about cops, but any cop who prioritizes state laws over federal is violating his oath. The oath taken by every police officer binds them to uphold the United States Constitution, and the US Constitution and laws made pursuant to it are supreme over all state laws and everything in any state constitution. There is little difference between a "public official" and a "government official;" one definition of "public" given by Merriam-Webster is "of or relating to a government," and the OED says "public" in the sense of "public servant" means "Serving the public in a professional capacity; (in later use) spec. employed by local or central government." The term "police" itself literally derives from a Latin and ultimately ancient Greek root relating to government ("police," "policy," "politics," "polity," are all related terms). I don't find it odd in the least that someone who was a close friend in high school would not remain close once your lives took very different turns. Neither of you is the same person you were in high school, and you are likely not his only friend. I have people I was friends with for 7-ish years in middle and high school who I don't talk to anymore, for the sole reason that we went away to college in different places and are making new sets of friends.

This topic has been moved to the appropriate forum. Please post in the correct location in the future.

I tried different walk styles, and the sheriff always walks like that. I think it's a rigging thing.

What do you mean a white box model? If you mean some obvious generic placeholder, you simply don't do that in trailers for a major game. Modeling a lightbar and slapping different textures on the car is a lot easier than finishing up a new complete car model, which is good for a trailer, but they weren't ever going to even consider something that didn't look professional.

Does it give an error message? If so, what?

Nowhere that I've found; I'd be surprised if it was still ingame (I think it was added as vehicle POLICE, which was then replaced with no trace left).

The correct name is Mapp v. Ohio; "vs." is not used in court case names, as the standard abbreviation is "v." Mapp was a criminal case, not a civil one, and it extended something to the states that already existed for the federal government. Basically, an unconstitutional search is illegal. Without any sort of consequence for that illegal search, there's no reason for police not to do it. There are various ways you can try to disincentivize it, but if you let the evidence be heard in court it's pretty much equivalent to letting a bank robber keep the money they stole -- they might face consequences, but they got what they wanted in the first place. At the federal level the rule already existed, but at the state level the Court had decided that states could adopt other ways to discourage illegal searches (in Wolf v. Colorado). Mapp was the Court saying "nothing else is enough, so we're going to say this is the only acceptable way to discourage illegal searches." From what I've heard, it is hard in practice to get evidence excluded; judges don't like to do it, and there are plenty of exceptions. But the basic point of the rule is as a deterrent to cops who would otherwise have no reason to obey the Constitution.

IIRC, the studies actually said that blue was more visible at night, and red was more visible during the day (not sure why, but I suspect it has something to do with the sky being blue). Of course, back when these lights were introduced, amber lights were by far the most visible: early emergency lights were white light with a colored filter, and amber filters let through the most light.

English, please. "Put this in Google Translate for a translation" is not acceptable.

Clearly, it should use ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD), which is unambiguous.
