LSPDFR Computer+ is open-source! Check out the git.
Looking for the Ped and Vehicle Images? Click Download, select Additional_ComputerPlusImageAssets.zip and extract the contents to your root folder
Features
Ability to search for persons and vehicles without keys conflicting with other mods.
Ability to request backup using a nice looking interface.
Uses the LSPDFR API to get ped and vehicle information. Also includes info left out of the regular LSPDFR police computer, like times stopped, number of citations, and a vehicle's stolen status.
Uses the Traffic Policer API (if it is installed) to also show a vehicle's insurance information.
Search fields are automatically filled out with the subject's information during a traffic stop, so all you have to do is press a button!
Dynamic backgrounds! Depending on which police vehicle you're in, you'll get a specialized department background. Comes with RDE support.
Looks practically identical to the LCPDFR computer (in terms of the layout).
Active Calls screen, which shows all callouts sent by Dispatch, even the ones that AI units respond to! (Must have participating callout plugins installed for this to work)
Computer+ has its own API, for callout developers to use!!
Computer+ will automatically add LSPDFR+ court case when you create an arrest report. (LSPDFR+ by @Albo1125 is required).
Computer+ now have ability to create citation for stopped ped on foot. After stopping a ped (by holding E key) or using "Stop The Ped", you may open Computer+ and create a citation for the ped. Make sure you have the latest "CitationDefinitions.xml" in place which has a public citation category. After it's created, return to the ped and give the citation to the ped (default key: LControlKey + PgUp).
You may open Computer+ as a tablet while on foot. (default key: LControlKey + NumPad0)
Installation
Place ComputerPlus.dll, ComputerPlus.ini and the ComputerPlus folder in Plugins\LSPDFR\.
LSPDFR will automatically load Computer+ when you go on duty.
Usage
While in a stationary police vehicle, hold E or the Right D-Pad button to bring up Computer+.
Configuration
If you open the ComputerPlus.ini file, you will notice a few things.
You can change the username and/or password that is displayed on the login screen to anything you want.
You can also adjust which backgrounds are shown for which vehicles.
To give an additional police vehicle a background, simply add another entry in the format vehiclename:bgfile.jpg
ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE YOU'RE ADDING IS A POLICE VEHICLE AND THE BACKGROUND FILE IS IN .JPG FORMAT.
Developers
Keep an eye on the Computer+ Developers Wiki, over at -- https://github.com/PieRGud/ComputerPlus/wiki
If callout developers need any help integrating their plugins, you can contact @BejoIjo, @ainesophaur or @PieRGud on the LSPDFR Developers Discord server (link is in the API forums)
Additional Info
Computer+ does not replace the default LSPDFR computer.
So, if you don't always want to use Computer+ during your patrols, then you need not worry - the default computer is still there.
Known Issues
Your cursor is frozen in the middle or does not move
Pause GTA (if you cannot, unload LSPDFR)
Go to Settings
Keyboard / Mouse
Mouse Input Method
Set to "Raw Input"
Your cursor does not appear
... make sure the display resolution in game matches your windows display resolution. If the resolutions do not match, you will not see a mouse cursor
If you have multiple monitors, make sure GTA's Graphic Settings have the same "Output Monitor" set as the same monitor set as your windows primary monitor. Example, if you have three monitors and your left monitor is your primary windows monitor, make sure GTA's Output Monitor is set to the left monitor -- if GTA isn't set to the same primary monitor as windows, you will not see a mouse
GTA5 freezes / drops to 1fps while computer+ is open..
...after you alt+tabbed out of the game..
If you plan to alt tab out of the game, play in windows boardless
Try to untick the option to draw the background before leaving the game screen. Until there is a way to detect if the game has focus, this seems to be the only solution
...after you opened the Rage console
Don't do that.. seems to be an issue with Rage's handling of form events and the console key presses
....after you pressed the escape key
Don't do that... Rage forms do not like the escape key pressed multiple times

!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT NOTES !!!!!
If your game is crashing when opening ped or vehicle information window, please be informed that GTA V has very limited memory allocation for plugins which tends to crash your game when you have too many plugins installed. To prevent crashing, please try the followings:
Download and install a good "gameconfig.xml" which might increase memory space for plugins. We recommend the one created by "dilapidated"
Reduce your mods and plugins by disabling them one by one until your game is stable => !!!! Especially reduce a few "RagePluginHook" plugins in "GTA V\Plugins\" folder !!!!
If your game is still crashing, try to disable Computer+ components:
Disable ped image by setting the flag in the .ini file (set DisplayPedImage=false)
Disable vehicle image by setting the flag in the .ini file (set DisplayVehicleImage=false)
Disable random history report generator in the .ini file (set RandomHistoryReport=false)
