I was told this too by a friend at work the issue is now resolved but thank you and everyone else for the help.

renaming the mods folder means disabling it from loading

That's just the way how it is, has nothing to do with LSPDFR. 
 
And matter of fact, they do have a reason to shoot you because you opened fire in their territory.
 
If you haven't learned your lesson already: Don't open fire in a gang neighborhood unless you want to escalate a gang shootout. 
 
And why would you shoot the suspect if he was only "stealing" something? How did you pass the Police Academy, officer?

I remember a mod(I think traficpollicer) use to show notification if someone was on there phone while driving and I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod that does the same thing. 

We've released a minor compatibility update for LSPDFR 0.49 (Build 8242) which adds compatibility for the new version of GTA V (v2699) - "The Criminal Enterprises".
 
This includes a fix in RAGE Plugin Hook for a long standing issue where if you used the NVIDIA GeForce Experience overlay (which is enabled by default on some installations), RAGE Plugin Hook may fail to hook. It also includes a feature which allows developers to load dependencies from other folders, hopefully leading to more tidy game folders in the future.
 
Although by the time of this post we have already fixed two major issues, the first being an issue with non-Steam versions of the game and the other being a change in behaviour of a fairly crucial native method, please report any issues or bugs with LSPDFR on the new game version, if you find any, on the support forums.  If you do think you've found an issue, please make sure you're on the latest patch (your RPH log should mention you are on version 1.96) and you've tested the issue is not your mods folder needing an update.
 
Note that the new version of the RAGE Plugin Hook which is required for LSPDFR to work on the new GTA V update is included with the new LSPDFR download.  The RAGE Plugin Hook website has not yet been updated, so you should not download the RAGE Plugin Hook from there but instead use the included version with LSPDFR.
 
Please ensure that you now update your game to the latest version of GTA V before playing this new version of LSPDFR 0.4.9, which you can find as normal on the main LSPDFR page.
