Before I begin, I don't want to start a witchhunt or anything similar. I just want to bring attention to this topic after seeing other threads complaining about Rebels and Hobos. Let's move on now.
I've been keeping myself from doing something like this in a bit but today finally passed the line. When I was like 30-40 hours in the game I didn't really notice how good the police RP and their acting overall is. I thought it was fine and all the people complaining were just mad because they got caught doing weed. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not saying all cops are extremely bad at following their own rules or even basic RP rules. Just some. Proceeding - these things usually happen around the earlier hours of the day (before 14:00 UK time) when there are notably less officers and civs on. What happens with drug runs as a whole - the police force loves breaking the rules and camping more than 15 minutes at the weed processor (I can speak for it because I've experienced it first hand). If I wanted to get someone demoted or whatever I would've posted a report for this but this is just a rant so I'll not be saying any names unless requested to do so.
Me and my mate just went for a quick weed run with his chopper so we can get some fast money but as soon as we started lowering, we heard a gunshot or two. Logically, we went up and started scouting the area as many normal players would do. We decided to wait a bit because we figured those shots came from the forest where officers also love staying in. So we waited about 10 minutes and what do you know - a decoy cop car (going to explain that in a bit) starts driving away from the weed field. Although we knew it was fishy as all hell, we decided to think that they would obey the rules and it was actually all policeman in the area in the given car just retreating after doing their time. Followed the car for a bit and it seemed to be leaving for good so we returned and I got out alone just to try and process it alone while my mate was hovering with the heli a little above ground (still expecting cops). And what do you know, as soon as I finish my first batch 4 or more officers just start storming towards us telling me to put my hands up and ordering my friend to land the heli and do the same. Well, he bailed and I stayed. I was apprehended by a SGT rank (decently high up to be expected to know the rules perfectly) who got my weed out but as the amazing officer he was, he forgot to check my backpack for the illegal gun I had (which he obviously should've done since he already found illegal substances in my possession). Later on I come to know that my friend has also been put on the wanted helicopter list without any warnings whatsoever from the police. (usually you'd get a message or whatever saying you're violating air laws) Now how come they put that when they have no reason to do so? They put him on the wanted list before they found the substances on me or anything of that sort. Just doesn't add up for me. Continuing, we come back about 2 minutes later to check what's going on and surprise, surprise police is still there. Around 4 people on a hill from what we saw. You'd think that after a successful drug bust they'd just go back to normal business but they stayed there for a couple more minutes which made us even more infuriated. What happened afterwards isn't worthy of writing since it was nothing of importance to the post.
In this time about 60% of the people in the server started confirming what we already thought about policemen - just violating the rules. What got me most mad though was that this didn't come from rookie PCSOs or PCs - this came from SGT and most likely even higher. One more story then I'll round up the thread. Gotten way too long anyway.
Again - a weed run, we just start doing our weed with trucks this time (2 trucks to be exact, with the same friend) and while we are waiting for our processed goods to get ready, we both get shot with absolutely no warning. Both get knocked out, eventually I get killed for trying to protect myself versus an illegal assault by police officers (amazing) and my friend gets caught. Both our trucks get scrapped for having weed in them and my friend sent to jail. What happens to me? They leave my dead body behind. No waiting for ambulance, nothing. And I know that they SHOULD wait because of another accident I had before. I just respawned since the medic was a long way away. Basically what happened was - cops most likely saw us at the weed field, retreated towards the processor and one camped the little hut on the road for the processor where he assaulted us with no RP whatsoever. Later on I contacted him via TS and he said that he misunderstood his higher-up's commands but calmed me down with the uplifting "You were fucked anyway mate, you were 2v10" and then leaving the conversation a second later. Cop was a PC or something.
I'm sure a lot more people have a lot more stories, but these are just some. I welcome others to join in on the conversation because this can't keep going on. If the Police Force doesn't know the rules, how do we expect casual roleplayers to know them and obey them?
