Birmingham, Britain Traffic Warden Nearly Killed
Two videos are not proof that the UK doesn't need all officers to be equipped and on the first video they didn't actually use a tazer, the mere threat of one got the guy to give up. I think you're overestimating how many guns are in the UK, yes - there is a problem in some parts of the country concerning illegal firearms but weapons are not as widespread and easily accessible as they are in America, knife crime is actually one of the biggest culprits over here at the moment. We do have permantly armed officers like the ones you've posted in areas such as airports and Government buildings and each force will have a number of trained firearms officers throughout their jurisdiction that can respond at a moments notice (Armed officers responded to and dealt with the London Bridge attack within minutes https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/04/police-praised-for-stopping-london-bridge-attack-in-eight-minutes) . The need is just not there at the moment to arm every officer, not to mention the UK Government keeps cutting back on the police, reducing their numbers - there's no way they could afford basic handguns at the moment "Armed officers open fire rarely. In the eight years to March 2016 police discharged their guns during just 40 incidents. Since 1990, 67 people have been killed in police shootings in England and Wales." - https://www.economist.com/britain/2017/06/29/is-it-time-for-britains-unarmed-police-to-be-given-guns One day in the future, yes we may need to follow in the footsteps of the US and other countries, but for now it is not necessary - to act as if producing a gun will solve anything is nonsense, it would not have stopped this attack as this guy was a traffic warden - they are not police officers.

Birmingham, Britain Traffic Warden Nearly Killed
Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Traffic wardens get a lot of grief over here (normally by people who've got reason to be given a ticket). Thankfully, they've caught one of them so far but investigations are ongoing to catch the rest https://www.west-midlands.police.uk/news/6555/police-release-images-after-violent-robbery-traffic-warden-alum-rock As for issuing police with weapons for self defence, at least guns, I'd say no. Numerous arrests and situations are dealt with on a daily basis without the use of a gun, police in the UK use a variety of tactics and non-lethal approaches to deal with suspects such as tazers and pepper spray - my go to video is this great example of capturing someone from a few years ago: and also:

New to LSPDFR HELP
I think it would struggle to run the base game, if at all, let alone LSPDFR. The main issue being the graphics card will not be strong enough. Have a check on this site to be sure, have used it myself many times over the years https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/grand-theft-auto-v/12455

PC Recommendations?
I got my PC from these guys a few years ago and it's still going strong with the exception of a recent GPU upgrade, they do ship to america too https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ Basically, pick a system you like the look / price of and then you can change every part as it'll give options for everything that is compatible. I'm sure there's sites in the US that'll do this too, just another option to look into 🙂

Any model ideas?
Some accurate NYPD cars would look pretty awesome if you could pull them off! Especially with the upcoming Liberty City in V mod by the OpenIV team.

Help: GTA V immersion mods
Although not specifically what you asked for, on the texture side of things I really like LA Roads alongside a visual enhancement such as VisualV; https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/l-a-roads-oiv-open-iv-package-installer Gives the game a more realistic look

Expired License
From the album: Patrol Diaries
It is up to the appropriate manager of each company that runs a fleet of vehicles to run regular license checks to avoid any consequences from the law. This was not the case with the local recycling company who failed to check the license of one of their drivers to see if it was still valid, it wasn't. The company now faces a huge fine aswell as an impounded vehicle of the fleet. -
What do you do during your shift?
The updated version of Computer+ is fantastic with this for its new traffic citations and arrest reports! makes traffic stops last a realistic time instead of being done in 30 secs!

Friendly fire
From the album: Patrol Diaries
20:15: Officers engage in a single vehicle pursuit through the docks of Los Santos after a failed traffic stop 20:22: The suspect quickly disembarks and leads officers on a foot chase through Merryweather Security's holding dock. The personnel inside decide to open fire at the officers instead of letting them through After a heated exchange of gunfire which required a full NoOSE response, the LSPD declared a major incident and began an investigation. Merryweather's CEO is currently unavailable for comment but the public and officers across the country are outraged at the events undertaken by the private security company this evening. -
Wrong side of the law.
From the album: Patrol Diaries
BSCO Deputies responded to calls of a private security guard driving around in his personal vehicle and initiating traffic stops on unsuspecting civilians. Shortly after making contact with a concerned caller, who reported that the suspect produced a weapon, deputies were alerted to an ANPR hit of the suspects vehicle heading eastbound on Joshua Road. The suspect, currently unidentified at this time, produced a weapon on the deputies and was quickly shut down. An investigation has been launched. -

Fantastic pack however I couldn't see the vehicles.meta line for the Super Duty, alas causing it to spawn with blacked out windows and lightbars. Other than that though, great job!- 46 comments

Shouldn't run into any problems, I installed LSPDFR first then downloaded the latest RPH and copied the files into my GTA folder. I'm currently running the latest Naturalvision with it's VisualV settings and L.A Roads, once I installed it I downloaded Radiance and picked the "Very Bright" setting which makes my game look incredible in my opinion; Steam unfortunately decreases the image quality - Really messed up Somewhere
