Haha that's the way the LCPD roll. "If you don't pull over I will pull you over". 
 
EDIT: Post number 2000. 

What do you guys think about My Police Crown Victoria
 

Okay, my last topic didn't go so well as there ARE people against the use of strobe lighting for whatever reason, I made sure I spoke to a Police Officer about the legalities of strobe lighting before I installed them this is what he as well as the guy who decals and outfits the RCMP vehicles for the Dartmouth/ Halifax/ Tantallon area:
I can legally have them installed anywhere in the car as long as I do NOT use them on a public roadway for an illegal purpose or on a public roadway at all, they CAN be used on a private road, driveway or empty parking lot, amber strobes/ LEDs are the only type of lighting that can be used while the vehicle is in motion and as you can see i'm in an empty parking lot, keep in mind that this is not for everywhere, I don't abuse them either, also, there was a comment about how a fog lamp mounted on the car would have been better, WRONG, it IS illegal to make the car look like a cop car, spotlight, rambar etc..
There are some people I know that may enjoy this, don't wreck it and start a flame war, Please.

lol no, figured I'd leave you hanging there for a few minutes while u waited for the PM thinking I was pissed

Well your about to have a PM 

link is not working for me. says the page requested is not valid
 
 
Agree. The more the better. I used to hate it before but now I see a lot of departments switching from just a lightbar and some hidden little grill and strobe lights to overkill rolling light shows. I love it. pretty neat to look at when they are at a traffic stop. EDIT: or rolling code 3 down the road
 
 
Its your opinion bud. not gonna bash you for it.
 
I will say that the vehicle the agency chooses to purchase for their officer(s) does not have to be a police version. I've seen unmarked Dodge Magnums (my local PD used to have one), mustangs, camaros, Marauder, BMW's, Hybrids and this is talking about here in the US alone. My local pd had a Lumina and a Taurus in their fleet back in the days and used for everyday patrol. I say if the vehicle can catch the bad guys and can perform well on the streets with the officers stressing the vehicle to the max then its an ok car in my book, either it looks like a spaceship on wheels or a impersonator look-a-like car with just some little lights spread out throughout the interior.

I don't see any reason why this should be locked or not talked about. Like others have said, its no secret as to what cops carry. Even if he was asking about a specific place that he was trying to do something malicious, even if the officers didn't have automatic weapons in the cars, they could mount a response to a situation in which the officers would then have automatic weapons anyway. Saying that he is asking about this to try and gain knowledge to do something malicious is crazy. I think he's simply asking out of curiosity and its a completely normal question. Now to give my input - in the ride alongs I've been on I've seen a variety of setups. My local sheriff dept. carries AR's and shotguns in the car. Local PD only carries shotguns. With some of the other larger departments I've been with I've always seen a shotgun/AR setup in most cars but it depends on the car/officer I suppose. I've never seen MP5's though but that doesn't mean they weren't in the trunk or something. Although I've never heard of them carrying MP5's anyway. Why would they need the MP5 when they have a AR? I do recall in one episode of Alaska State Troopers, one of the troopers had to gun a shotgun out to kill a moose. He had it in the rear (it was a SUV) in one of those drawers and there was a MP5 sitting in the drawer

yea that way you can make a ticket out then print it take it to the driver. like what real police do now days. be so much nicer and more realistic. I hope someone can make this as a mod. be so cool.

When  you pursuit on foot that you can say; STOP LCPD PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR  HEAD! and when  the cop says that  he shows his lcpd badge....
 
or something like, conversation with dispatch;  when pulling over  a car:
 
Officer; central i  just pulled over  a (car model) the license plate is (randomly a license plate).
Dispatch; copy that (officer name) do you need assistence?
Officers; yes send me a unit to handle it / no i can handle it by my self
Dispatch; Copy that sending a unit right know dont be a hero wait for backup / aright be carefull
 
when you go to a emergency call or crime scene
 
Officer; Central im on my way to the crime scene
Dispatch; Copy that do you need assistence
Officer; yes send some backup to the crime scene / no i can handle it  by my self
 
and stuff like that its text only  so no sound, thats much easier.
 
 

Yep, I solved the problem. The scripts I installed were too old for the patch or something similar. Thanks for your suggestion about the video.

Oh, and by the way...I don't know if somebody already suggested this, but I think you should add some prisoner transport missions in next version, using the stockade to take the inmates from a police station to another or to the jail. Of course, the bad guys would try to stop the truck and help their friend to evade the police.

Don't challenge me please, I am running version 1.0.7.0 and its running, Go to discussion and watch the "HOW TO INSTALL" video, there's extra info you may find helpful too.

Do you want more proof that it runs? I can provide my scripthook.log saying game version 1.0.7.0

This is the third car I've made and I'm not sure whether it's ready for release yet. Feel free to reply and tell me what you think.

Same here.
 
Can you get banned? Yes. But it depends on the situation. A good friend of mine said that complaints are only valid if the person played with you, and it can usually take around 10 complaints on the same subject to even get noticed. Even then, it's more likely they don't suspend/ban you.
 
It depends on how you behave. If you harass other players, then probably. I used to drive around and spawn vehicles, and generally keep people happy. Modding GTA IV on the Xbox is no different than modding GTA IV on the PC, the only difference is that the mods are more focused on cheating compared to PC. But you can find mods similar to the PC, such as the superman mod. 
 
Anyway, LCPDFR on Xbox 360 is somewhat an insult to G17 Media. They should have used a different name, but I have no problem with them expanding and improving console mods. They've made a lot of progress the last few years. I disagree with people using mods to cheat, but I don't have a problem with people using mods to expand and add fun to the game.
 
I thought I would clear that up for some people, because I've read far too many posts saying "You're going to be banned permanently by Microsoft". In reality, it depends on the person using the mods, not the mods themselves.

I'm sorry but, this is just plan disrespect for the LCPDFR and G17 community!!!!

That is NOT LCPDFR or any project associated with G17, the creators of that mod is using the LCPDFR to promote their own product.

Okay, so when was EVCS announced?  Late January right?  How about ELS.Net?  It was announced last week, right?  
 
Are you expecting to see something arrive within a week of the first public announcement?  If so, perhaps you need to rethink your expectations and think back to the time it took for EVCS to 'arrive' - 2 months later.
 
Here's the thing, ELS.Net is being designed from the ground up as a special or alternative version of ELS.  It uses the same name for a reason, it is for people who want ELS, but don't want the extra parts system.  As such, I'm doing my best, in close collaboration with Lt.Caine (we've exchanged upwards of 100 lengthy messages), to replicate ELS.  Now, if you take time to consider just how complex ELS is (think about the controls, the little touches, the interface...) you might realise that doing so is actually quite a daunting challenge.  
 
This is getting ridiculous, I'm sick of the flaming about all of this, so let me make some things very clear.
 
1.  Contrary to what some people are claiming, EVCS is not the first mod of its kind
 
The first mod to feature coronas as a method of emergency lighting was made by me in 2010, it was called Illumination and it was a very experimental thing that I ditched for the same reasons that a lot of people are criticising EVCS for: http://youtu.be/9WNEj9yskh4?t=1m45s
 
 
 
2.  ELS.Net has been in development since January 19th, 2013 (before EVCS was announced)
 
I started work on ELS.Net on January 19th, coming up with some basic concepts for how it might work.  Back then, it was still known as Illumination, and was me picking up where I left off here: 
 

3.  EVCS and ELS.Net are alternatives for people who don't like the extra parts system.
 
That's all they are - alternatives.  Some people will prefer the options of EVCS like livery switching, some people will prefer the features of ELS.Net such as full pattern customisation, exporting and sharing as well as the ELS interface and the rotating light simulation.
 
Now please, can we cut the crap?

very nice

Hey check out the video and leave a like if you enjoyed if you want to see more subscribe :)

So, I was thinking that after a day of April fools jokes and such that perhaps a few people would appreciate some real news regarding our community, LCPDFR and our plans for the future.  I used to do something like this at the beginning of the year however we were a little sidetracked and honestly didn't have much news that we were ready to share - something which has changed considerably.
 
The first thing that I want to say is that right now, as I speak, we're actually in the middle of a huge surge in popularity, traffic and activity and although the numbers are still a little rough, I can quite confidently say that the past few days have been our most active ever.  Yesterday alone we saw over 400 registrations - a phenomenal number for one day.  Today, we've had 414 so far.  Put simply, we're doing our biggest numbers ever and as the guy that sat for years and watched this project grow slowly, the past few days have been really exciting for me.
 
We have now surpassed GPM in total member count, which I'm pretty sure was the only thing that was left to surpass them on.  Indeed, just a year ago when we really started to expand and grow I don't really think anyone expected that we'd do so well in the long term.  Back at the time, we understood the surge of traffic, all the new content and our sudden boost in popularity, but we didn't really think that it would continue that way - we thought of it as something that would come and stay, or even go, but certainly not come and then keep coming and coming (don't read that the wrong way please!).  Back in late summer 2011, all I could hope for was that we could be a viable and progressive alternative, and now I feel pretty silly for setting my expectations so low.
 
On the subject of all this development and activity, 2013 is shaping up to be quite a big year for us.  Aside from the blockbuster release of GTA V later on in September, there's a lot more going on closer to home with the recently announced ELS v7 coming out, for the first time ever on LCPDFR.com, in a little bit and also with LCPDFR and another project I've been working on for the past couple of months in close collaboration with Lt.Caine and LMS.  Basically, as a lot of you will know, I've always wanted to make a lighting system that's a decent alternative to ELS.  Years ago I put out a small and unfinished script called Illumination which used GTA IV's native method to draw light coronas in the game world, making a decent LED lightbar and an absolutely horrible traffic advisor.  This didn't really go anywhere because of how bad it was, the complications of the whole thing and the popularity of ELS at the time.  A while back I decided to revisit it, and didn't really get much closer although I did come up with some ways of making things look a whole lot better but nonetheless it was scrapped and forgotten about.  The real breakthrough came early this year, however, when Lt.Caine sent me a message after something like 2 years of being away.  After a few days, we had a basic plan put together, which brings me to the first announcement I have for everyone:
 
Emergency Lighting System (ELS) Dot Net
 

 
ELS Dot Net is a special version of ELS, running on the .Net Framework and being developed primarily by myself.  It is a corona based system, like a few of the ones that have been shown of recently, although it has several key differences:
Fully customisable and distributable patterns and vehicle configurations The ELS interface everybody knows and loves Several different light types, such as LEDs and halogen bulbs Realistic rotator lightbar emulation (with rotating beacons and environmental lighting) Built-in visibility checks for coronas shining through solid objects and such AdvancedHook integration for flashing headlights and taillights (agan, these are customisable) I hope to get some video of some of the cool features of ELS.Net released in the next week.
 
 
The next thing I want to address is LCPDFR, and where we're headed with it.  For the past few months, LMS has been really hard at work with the mod, doing his best to write a whole host of new systems for it which I'll talk about a little later on this year - most likely in a couple of months.  All of our development energy and focus as far as LCPDFR is concerned has, however, been directed towards these improvements which I suppose you could describe better as a complete rewrite, because that, to be quite frank, is what they are.  We wanted to go further with the mod in the sense that instead of adding new callouts or pursuit features, we wanted to make the very core of it much more powerful and easy to build on.  After many months, we're finally almost there with almost all of the features of the ever elusive 0.95 RC3 ported over and re-worked for the new engine.  I thought that instead of waffling about the things LMS has been doing, it would be better to briefly list some examples of the new functionality present:
PedIntelligence class - it handles AI for peds, meaning that now instead of people not giving a damn that you're pursuing a highly armed suspect right in front of them, they'll actually notice and care about it! Pursuits - We have some really powerful stuff for all sorts of chases, both in cars and on foot.  Instead of using ranges and distance checks, officers can now lose sight of the suspects, and if they do, will spread out and search a perimeter like in real life (helicopters are really useful now). Drastically improved Police AI - Suspect with a gun?  Cops will start shouting at him to drop it. Misc. Improvements - New tasks for things like pulling over (they do it a lot better now), ability to get the side of the street that a vehicle is on (useful for traffic stops) and full support for controllers. All in all, we're trying our best to make the next version of LCPDFR (which is most likely going to be 1.0) as powerful as we can given our limited resources not to mention all of our other commitments.  I'm sorry that it has taken this long for us to provide some concrete information about the state of the project - we've just been incredibly busy with all sorts of other things and only a few weeks ago were we anywhere near certain of what direction we were headed in with it.  That being said, the one thing I can say with confidence is that you will see a release of LCPDFR this year, unless of course LMS gest run over by a bus or something and my screen spontaneously combusts sending highly charged lethal glass shards through my body, but that won't happen hopefully!
 
To conclude, I'm feeling really optimistic about the next 8 months.  I think we've got a lot of exciting things on the way and from what we can tell, we're obviously doing something right on the community side of things given our recent statistics.  I think we've all proven that LCPDFR, both the mod and this awesome website, has been nothing short of a total game-changer.
 
On behalf of the entire team here, I'd like to thank everyone for their continued support, even after 3 and a half long years.  We've really made something special here, and it's not going to stop anytime soon.
 
Sam.

(Some of might already have seen it, but some might have not. That is because it's an old video. Somehow I got back to this one and back in the old laughter. Enjoy.)
 

 
Finally kids can watch this now. I've always found Sesame Street inappropriate *bleep*.

Aight so I decided to start a thread on this. Here are some views on the vehicles:
 
Alaska State Troopers:
 

2007 Alaska State Troopers Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
There are more Vehicles to be included into this pack just keep a look out
 

As I said Earlier why the God mode can't be fixed... yes it is a sad issue but guess what you get the realistic Siren system!!!!!

I'm more than pleased to break the news that Lieutenant Caine's ELS mod will make a fantastic comback with a new release soon, Caine has been hard at work at improving stability and add a bunch of nice features to the mod
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4FmtFu2o78
 
Keep your eyes peeled on my channel for more ELS v7 videos, I'll be sure to go in-depth with the changes.
 
I'd like to thank Caine for giving me this opportunity to help improve the mod as well as being given the honour of announcing version 7 to all of you, I've seen the mod change into something version 6 can only dream of, he's a super guy.
 
It will be released here on LCPDFR.com and select other modding sites soon.
 
15/04 UPDATE!!!

Thats fine, So in that case DO you have custom cars? (Have you replaced cars with custom ones)? With ELS? If so. Theres your problem. Download more low-poly custom cars.
 
 
And if you still don't, I'll take a look at your specs and see.
