No. RAGEHook will not load when entering online mode, so there is no chance that you can be banned when you have LCPD:FR and RAGEHook installed. If you're extra paranoid, just start the game normally without the RAGEHook executable and it won't start up at all (in singleplayer or multiplayer).
NOTE: ScriptHook and other .asi/,lua/.cs loaders are different, and it is best to remove the ScriptHook .dll's from your GTA V folder if you have them before going online. I know OpenIV has its own .asi manager, which allows you to install/uninstall the asi loader easily from there.

This was bothering me so much, but I figured it out after playing with the graphics settings in the vehicle selection menu.
If you have your "Post FX" settings set to either "Very High" or "Ultra", it will cause that screen to be blurry. Setting them to "High" (which disables the Depth of Field setting) or "Normal" (which disables both DoF and motion blur) will get rid of the blurriness. As it stands, I just keep mine on "Ultra" and have the DoF on (since I like the effect) and motion blur off and just deal with the blurriness.

You need to edit the carvariations.meta file for the model you replaced and change the sirensetting to 1 and that will fixed the issue.
Example:
 

Did you have bxbugs123's cvpi installed in sheriff? If so that's what might be causing your issue

Cool stuff, FinK! Still anxiously awaiting any more news and the release of your Police Radio mod! (Already subscribed to your YT channel, as well)
Keep it coming! 

Thanks for the update, Caine. I think you are right with it being a controller issue. I updated to 2.18 with the "ParkingMode" option off, and it works perfectly. 
 

Firstly, I want to apologize for any inconveniences caused by PLD.
More on the issue, I think the parking brake problem might be caused by some sort of a conflict with controllers. It never manifested itself during testing, and I use a keyboard and mouse setup which doesn't seem to trigger this particular issue--at least on my end.
The idea behind adding "Vehicle Essentials" to PLD is to have all basic vehicle functions, including location display, seamlessly rolled into one mod. This is in order to facilitate installation and mod management, all the while preventing overlap.
Nevertheless, it is certainly fair to request having choice over a mod's features--particularly as it increases in complexity. Indeed, I too appreciate the ability to choose what things to keep and what to discard. This is why PLD has been updated to V2.18. Via the .ini file, it now offers the user control over which Vehicle Essentials features they wish to use. For those experiencing issues with the parking feature, it is recommended--at least for now--that you set the "ParkingMode" option to off (as it is on by default).

There is a line in the PLD.ini as follows:
[ CONTROL ] TogglePark = 71I tried setting it to 0 (since the documentation says doing so will disable it), but it still occasionally sets the parking break. Right now I've just removed the mod.
A real shame, too, since I liked the mod. However, I sincerely disagree with how it is becoming commonplace to add functionality to particular mods beyond what they were initially advertised as doing. There is no need for there to be a parking break or turn signal control on the Player Location Display mod, since all I want it to do is display my location. There are different mods that do just that (and they should remain as different mods).
At any rate, there always needs to be the ability to disable features in mods like this. I have no doubt that Lt.Caine is fixing - or would fix if he doesn't already know - this issue when he is able. Until then, you're better off just removing the mod.

Oh, yes: "The Study". A concrete proof if ever there was one.  What, exactly, is this evidence? There is, quite literally, zero evidence of anything regarding police corruption in either that article or your statements. Mexico is different from the United States. Quite different, actually - especially concerning corruption and police activities. You also fail to cite any source here. No police officer in the United States has a "license to kill". Hell, they are held to the same exact criteria concerning murder and self defense as the general population. I believe most of the time an officer has to shoot someone its because he was poorly trained and is just too damn nervous. This doesn't excuse murder, however, and a failure to prosecute an officer of the law for murdering someone is absolutely more the fault of the courts and society than any accused officer. At any rate, you're arguments are borderline absurd. You're obviously biased, for whatever reason, and fail to understand the importance of citing concrete sources in any argument. I'd recommend you take a step back and research a bit more before being so quick to judge.

After watching the video, i don't know why she was asked to step out of the vehicle in the first place, it could've been over and done with a simple citation, although she was arrested (failure to comply, resisting arrest?) idk the American law/State law there.
Judging by the news report (which doesn't share much information) It seems like a suicide at first hand, not a murder. However the officer stopping for 7 seconds and saying "she's fine" is a bit off. Plus you can't really kill someone/make it look like a suicide in 7 seconds. 
Regardless of what her friends or parents say, not everyone can tell if someone is suicidal or not. most people mask their feelings and pretend to be happy. I can't really have a definite opinion or say if it was actually murder until an autopsy is preformed, it's very hard to cover up a murder as a suicide so it'll be on the autopsy what her cause of death is. 
just by looking at the news reports i say it's a suicide, by it's also the media.. they're not always reliable so a murder is still in play. Also, just to point out.. why do people instantly assume that a death in police custody is instantly a homicide/the police did it? not every cop in the world is corrupt and wants to kill people. Right now the evidence is pointing towards a suicide, there is little evidence to suggest a murder took place.
Always follow the evidence, NEVER jump to conclusions! Why? Because conclusions aren't valid and have no fact, Evidence can never lie.

I saw some good comments, and some not so much. I actually live in TX and the first thing that struck me was this Trooper was going to give her a warning for something so minor. There's an old joke that goes around that DPS Troopers (as they are called here) never give warnings.
First Id like to address that this entire thing could've been avoided had she just remained calm and accepted her warning or citation. Obviously this officer felt she was sorry or corporative and decided she would give her a warning, so had she remained the same cool demeanor she had at first she would've been on her way. Second is the cigarette, I see two issues with this. A) The officer does have the right to ask her to put it out (anyone can ask for something like that), however she was within the confines of her vehicle with no children present and she was on a public road, therefore she is allowed. B) The officers reaction and her reaction were both wrong in my opinion. The officer does hold the right to ask her to set out of the vehicle to issue a citation or warning if it provides a safer area for both parties. She could've A put out the cigarette and continued on or left the vehicle and move to the site to continue. I do feel though that the officer should've continued with his stop despite her refusing to put out the cigarette. Had she had children in the vehicle or been in a area or business that bans smoking then she would've had to comply with the officers order.
The last thing that Id like to address is that when these situations come up the conversation switches from what happened in the case to the "corruption" of the police force. I feel the best way to get things fixed with the police force (if you feel there are any wrong cause not every city does) is to join or be active in city council meetings. Address your concerns and I'm sure they will be heard, they may not happen immediately but I'm sure they will look into ways of fixing things. Just don't take things into your own hands I.E killing cops, resisting arrest, or failing to comply with simple orders cause that makes things more difficult and stressful for everyone involved. You pay taxes for a reason, so let those people who you pay taxes to handle the situations. They are trained and will handle them professionally. If not then move a little higher up the chain.
 

I'm not a police officer, and I believe in holding public officials and police to a higher standard. I don't, however, believe in the notion that we should label people under a huge umbrella and say that "since x happened everyone who has the same job is also capable of x, therefore we should preemptively assume they will do x given the opportunity". It's an illogical (and frankly un-american) point of view. That's all I'm going to say on this.
I don't want to make assumptions as to the circumstances of your friendships, but I can tell you that I would genuinely rethink who I consider a friend if any one of them was convicted of a felony regardless of how long I knew them.

"License to Kill", in the sense you are describing, is most aptly attributed to the rules of engagement of a soldier in a foreign, hostile land rather than a police officer of any jurisdiction in the United States. "Deadly Force", which is arguably under the umbrella of that dramatic term you are fond of, is applied to law enforcement when an officer is met with a situation where he could prevent harm to himself or others by discharging his weapon. I stand by my argument that most of the time it is not intentional abuse of power, but rather poor training and nerves. The failure to prosecute the legitimate abuse of power, however, is a failure of the courts and society, and not any individual person.
All government officials ARE public officials. Even the ones in those super-secret agencies like the NSA. They are all subject to some form of government oversight, even if it isn't directly from the population but rather from some publicly elected official. That's how republics work.
 
I don't doubt you, or anyone, prefers it when our police officers follow the rules. However, like anything anywhere, there will be people who don't. They are not, however, as commonplace as you'd think. At the very least we should give our police officers the benefit of the doubt; just as we should anyone accused with a crime. In the United States it is "innocent until proven guilty", after all.
You should always strive to have all the facts before making an argument. To do otherwise not only fails yourself and your opinions, but it detracts from your entire side's credibility. To quickly judge wrongdoing with minimal facts and evidence delivers injustice to the innocent and wrongly accused and hides the guilty from the consequences. You should consider your arguments closely, always.
To finish off my point, private police forces have lead to poor oversight, rampant corruption, and heavy injustice in the past. I point to the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Homestead Strike and the ensuing chaos and death that resulted. In fact, one could argue that the police force in the US is what you describe, in that it is formed and funded by city and county agencies that are paid for and derive their authority from the people in that jurisdiction (through taxes and elections). 
In closing, you have no real bearing on the realities of this situation and have become brainwashed into your current biases. Not only that, but your passive-aggressive tone and lack of concrete argument, as well as your instantiation of Godwin's Law, does you a great disservice.
 

I agree. We can't tell exactly what happens from that video, and it is unlikely that a police officer would kill her in the jail cell (how he could even do so without anyone seeing him is also something to think about). I don't know why she would kill herself - or even if it was intentional - and I agree that you can't apply logic to that sort of thing. It is a tragedy, though, and I'm sorry that it happened.

You're loading multiple plugins twice, which can cause weird problems. If your startup.rphs has plugins like "SpeedRadar.dll" and "Spotlight.dll" (etc.) loaded twice, remove the duplicates. RageHook defaults the WarnOnPluginLoad value to false as of their latest version, which means that each time you load a plugin twice it actually loads it twice.
You can double-check if you have a plugin loaded more than once by typing "listPlugins" into the RageHook console. If you see a plugin listed more than once, you should unload both of them/reload them ONLY ONCE. See if that fixes/mitigates your crashing.

Just as a quick update, we're doing our best to continue to fix things up.  The main cause of the performance issues was resolved earlier today, although there's still one problem which is resulting in script crashes.
There's a good side to this delay as well though - we've been able to polish things up somewhat and even add in some little details that weren't going to make the original release.

Sam, you and the whole team are just amazing. There's no need to apologize considering how hard you all are working to fix this issue.
 
Great work.

First up, we're all sorry for the problems we encountered with the release last night.  Unfortunately, there was a game breaking performance issue which was found only a few hours before we intended to release and this has required some time to investigate.
The good news is that we've done our best to mitigate this problem, related to the way in which Rockstar has started to introduce anti-modding protections.  For those of you interested in the technical detail, here's a snippet of a performance test ran by Alexander Blade and LMS:
Performance difference between GTA V version 372 and 393 Calling SET_CURRENT_PED_WEAPON 1000 times via ScriptHookV and RAGEPluginHook: 372: ~582ms (RPH: ~585ms) 393: ~2480ms (RPH: ~2490ms) Performance on version 323/350 is most likely even better due to even less/no obfuscation than 372.In short, on the previous patch (372), it took 585 milliseconds for the function to be executed 1000 times.  On the newest patch (393), it took 2490 milliseconds, which is roughly 2.5 seconds, to be executed 1000 times.  This means that this particular function takes five times longer to execute on the latest patch than it did previously.  LSPDFR 0.2 and 0.1 call this function a lot, mainly to stop other police officers from killing suspects, as we force them to be unarmed when appropriate by using it.  As such, during a pursuit with even a couple of units, performance takes a hit.
With the problem identified, we've managed to come up with an alternative way of doing things that doesn't have such a dreadful impact on performance.  This version is currently undergoing testing, and we hope to be in a position to release 0.2 as soon as possible.  Note that I won't commit to a date, as it is possible we run into further issues, and we'd like to avoid a situation similar to last night's, but there is still the possibility that we can release today, and we'll keep you updated as to our progress.
Sam.

The United States is a very, very diverse country with millions of people of different backgrounds, nationalities, and ancestries. With that, there comes a whole lot of issues regarding a whole lot of things. An issue that is "#1 important" to one group might be way down the list for another, different group. The same is true for individuals as well.
So whenever something changes, or a law is passed, or a ruling made: there will be people who say "Finally, the most important problem plaguing our country is resolved" and others who will say "What? Why are we even worrying about this? <insert thing here> is a WAY more important issue and no one is talking about it!"
So yes, back in 1954 there were people who didn't care, and people who cared a lot. That's what you get when you have a nation where policy is driven by public opinion. In an appropriately contradictory way: It's both a good and a bad thing.
