Isn't it just flashing the high beams? In which case it really couldn't alternate.

There needs to be some option for people who have objections to serving in a military or police role. Maybe let people do some forest conservation work? Or road work...in the US, at least, we need a TON of road work done.

You could always make a transparent texture. Also, "Combining ped meshes" is like modelling, but without the "modelling" part. You combine premade models in new ways. In this case, you could remove the hat from the props model while keeping the glasses.

To stop the hat appearing, you can open peds.ide, and go to the line for that ped. Say it's M_Y_COP. The first two entries in the line are M_Y_COP and M_Y_COP_P. Change the M_Y_COP_P to M_Y_CO_P (or anything like that; the idea is that you're changing the file where it gets the props [in this case, hat and sunglasses] from a file that exists to one that doesn't. Hence, it won't load props for the ped).

Don't decompile code without permission. REALLY don't decompile, edit, and release. It's the same as ripping models.

Slimory: No matter what, you need an internal investigation agency. It has nothing to do with how the polygraphs are, and everything to do with the fact that people change over time. The polygraph tests you at the beginning, but no one claims it will weed out everyone who will later do something bad.

I don't think so either; I was talking mostly about the US. Though, are your armored truck guards armed?

I'm not sure about the biggest, but there's nothing like going to a City Hall shots fired and mowing down ALL the suspects with headshots before they can even begin to shoot (they're in a big cluster, and I was using the M-4).

They are designing this for civilian use. The Impala is a pretty popular civilian car, which far outweighs fleet orders from police forces. Chevy is designing a civilian car first, and later adapting it into a cop car.

To repeat, there are armed and sworn privately employed police in the US. Specifically, railroad and campus police are employed by private organizations. However, that's not what "security police" means. Nor does it mean the same thing as "patrol security" organizations. Slimory: AFAIK, armed security are not supposed to use their guns like cops. They have them for self-defense and defense of others, and aren't supposed to draw them unless there is an imminent danger (while cops can have their weapons out in a lot more cases). Also, they don't have the legal protections of cops.

Mercury is simply another Ford brand, and the Grand Marquis is the same actual car as the Crown Victoria (as is the Lincoln Town Car)). They are targeted to different market segments, and have somewhat different styling. Ford simply decided to use the Ford-badged variant as the basis for the police car. Also, RazberyBandit: The Panther platform (Town Car, Crown Vic, Grand Marquis) was in fact considered the last "full-size Ford" platform.

Nutt: Those are links to other similar pages. Where it actually describes stuff (scroll down), it talks about government agencies. Likewise, read the first sentence.

I recently found something that seems to be getting more and more relevant to LCPDFR: The Help Vampire: A Spotter's Guide

Anyway, regardless of truth, it's still a very funny story.

By that definition, the police themselves really have very little impact on their efficiency. Much more important are the laws they have to abide by. For example, in the US, if a police department made it so no one dared to protest, while it would probably prevent riots, it would probably be restructured by court order.

No. It doesn't matter that the AGM-122 was developed from the Sidewinder, because it was still a different missile (not just reprogrammed). No Sidewinders in service can use radar guidance. They don't have the necessary hardware. Also, your wiki quote just shows as '...' to me. Not sure why. Sorry I've been so hard on you, but I get annoyed when people spread stories like this as real without checking them out. Snopes is a great resource for this; it factchecks a lot of stories like this. Nothing against you.

What does "most efficient" mean? There is really no way to compare between different countries, with different laws, different cultures, etc.

Nutt: The wiki page on security police talking about true police forces (i.e., government agencies, like FBI Police, US Capitol Police, Federal Protective Service, and equivalent state agencies) that happen to fill a security role (as opposed to patrol or investigation). Some are private contractors, but they still work on behalf of a government agency. That said, there are privately-run police forces in the US (most notably, railroad police and campus police [i.e., police employed by a college or university]). You just won't find them on that specific wiki page. To the OP: As long as they don't act like cops, they're in the clear. On private property, security guards can have a lot of authority, because they are considered agents of the property owner. However, if they try to act like cops on public streets, the real cops start to care. Security guards are often allowed to detain people (you can see this a lot in malls), and, in most states, anyone can put orange lights in their car (they mostly just mean "Caution, I'm stopped/moving slowly"; you see them a lot on tow trucks). They can't disregard laws when they have their lights on; the idea is that they patrol the neighborhood much more frequently, so they're closer to you than the real cops are (which is how they get there faster).

To quote: "was able to override the automatic protection system before the missile was launched". Also, air-to-ground capability still doesn't address the fact that Sidewinders are heat-seeking, so are 100% useless against a radar station (being, you know, not guided by radar). Sniper: Lasers do have frequencies. LIDAR systems use different frequencies than military systems, and don't look even remotely like a military radar. This story has no basis in reality. The link in my first post has more info.

Wow, did not know that. Though it is still heat-seeking, not anti-radar (unless that also changed; don't think so, though).

That story is BS, just so you know. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/techno/radar.asp EDIT: A summary of issues: * The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a heat-seeking air to air missile, not air-to-ground. * Police use different radars than military planes. Radar guns are designed to measure speed, so they use Doppler. The military has different needs, and uses a different frequency. * No competent military force on exercises would ever have missiles set to fire without pilot input. They might have live missiles, but would NEVER have them set to auto-fire, for exactly this reason. For that matter, I doubt they would have them auto-fire in an actual war zone; I think the pilot still needs to give the "fire" command. * Yeah, those police radars? Would you believe that their range is somewhat less than "to out-of-sight military plane"?

That's not exactly accurate. Four cores only helps with multitasking, and may not help any given program. A program needs to be specially written to take advantage of all cores. To the OP: A Dual Core Quad makes no sense. That'd be like saying "a four-cornered triangle".

I think the FBI car has only 4 non-ELS slots, not the 7 or 8 of other cars.

That's what I'm wondering, if it's simple enough to do this easily. Video?
