Bastion already said what I was going to, but I have a separate question. How are you comparing forced internet connection to malware and spyware? Do you even know what malware is? I'm genuinely flabbergasted that someone is saying a forced internet connection is malware. This website requires you to have a constant internet connection to use it. Does that mean this site is bad?

Forced online has nothing to do with helping to troubleshoot (to my knowledge, anyway). Online only can be a pain, but is is required for better synchronization between his mods. I don't know where you're getting the "constant surveillance", but none of that is going on. If you want surveillance, go to Chill Callouts where the dev collects your machine ID. This sounded familiar, and sure enough, I already replied to you. Since you chose to ignore me since you know I'm right, I'll repeat it for you. If you think STP has "useless" features, then you're using STP wrong and not getting the full experience of his mods or LSPDFR. Myself and many others use every feature STP has to offer and it greatly enhances our game. I think you need to have another look at the features list of STP, because you're missing out. If you're not gonna use the stuff being added to STP, then you clearly have no idea how to use said features. Most, if not everything added to STP gets used by people. Why? Because Bejoljo doesn't add useless shit no one cares for. Additionally, Bejoljo's mods only conflict if those mods have the exact same functionality. You have 2 mods installed that do the same thing, not the author's fault, it's yours for having both installed at the same time. It also forces you to install other mods, aka police smart radio, the thing you said you hated so much (when a plugin depends on another). STP has a no bullshit prisoner transport system and it's lightweight. Albo's mods have always been resource intensive, it's even worse now that they are outdated. Your entire argument is invalid, because this is literally what Bejoljo's mods aim to fix, mod on mod on mod. Why do you think his mods are jam packed with features? So you don't need 20 separate plugins. I used to use Albo's stuff as well and we all appreciate what he did, but you need to get off of this high horse of "fuck all the new mods, old ones only". You're only hurting yourself by refusing to let go of outdated stuff and attacking the new mods simply because you don't like change. Bejoljo has done nothing but try to help improve the community, and he is very active with other developers and makes sure if they need help, he provides it.

The tow feature in both mods is basically the same. It's strongly advised to remove AM, there is no point in having it. It's outdated and takes up more fps than needed. Aside from that, both STP and AM have the same arrest feature, it makes no sense to have two separate mods installed that do the same thing.
