dude i was just really frustrated and venting, but your right. It should be my police to call swat backup for traffic stops in heavy gang areas. I guess i'm an idiot for not thinking that way. When it comes to real life though, if you shot a gang member yes the fellas will get a bit upset but in real life they know there would be an absolute shit storm of a manhunt and subsequent retaliation by the police for that kind of force. The United states has never had an issue with locking down a city or a part of it and treating the place like hostile country.
To open fire on the police like that in real life would never happen from a traffic stop. people like their community too much and that community would be turned upside down if that happened. At the current state, there is a bit of coexisting that can only be had when there are a few rules followed by both sides.
I posted this initially because the vanilla gta should be modified when using lspdfr as that seems like a core feature that should be implemented into the main LSPDFR mod.
I usually prefer patrolling gang areas as that is where most of my felony arrests come from. I've heavily modified my game so that a 2 hour patrol may only lead to one arrest (if that) and I really enjoy it that way. If i find my felony arrest numbers go down, I shake a fella down and give him the ol "Participating in gang" charge. It may be going to far but i like the computer + side of things and an arrest can mean 5-15 minutes of computer+ paperwork which i convert to a notepad report. I've saved every arrest report i have made and after around 60 hours of gameplay i have only 26 Arrests with 19 being felonies.
I've modded the game to be as close to a real life patrol as possible and that means really boring stuff and I love it!!
To add, Even traffic stops get a full paper trail. I simulate a full police shift and that includes going back to the station while my reports process and shit.
