Hello @West1,

I would like to state that a QE has been organised by a different police officer that was directly affected by the situation, and this report being submitted by yourself without trying for a liaison in ooc etc beforehand is utterly substandard.

I am aware that it is not a mandatory requirement but it is highly encouraged to avoid situations like this. As someone who is a third party in this situation submitting a report with no intention of at least one attempt to resolve it, reflects poorly on you.

The other officer had the decency to reach out to me directly regarding the situation, understanding that there may have been multiple valid reasons behind my actions, he was not made aware of this report was going up either despite being the first officer “on scene” and that again just shows eagerness. Perhaps you should be less eager to submit a report and take a step back, exercise some restraint, and avoid jumping the gun without seeking proper context first.

For this i think you should seek full clarity aswell as I did reach out to 1 of the 2 officers who called you out originally and the lead car that chased you.

and coming at me for being "eager to submit a report" if I believe a blatant rule break occurred of course I'm going to report it I feel that a qe would have devolved into an argument further proved by the fact that instead of defending/explaining your actions you have decided to call me "utterly substandard" when I believe you are the one who broke a blatant rule.

And further I am not a third party as I was directly involved in this entire situation which further proves your lack of clarity I just didn't have the best angle of your rule break on my BWV as I was the 3rd or 4th car after Ares


I will not respond further unless asked to by staff.

Thank you for your response,

To clarify my issue is not with the fact that you submitted a report, that is your right. My concern lies in how you chose to go about it. While you may have reached out to one of the officers involved, you did not reach out to me, the person you are actually reporting, nor did you reach out to the officer organising the QE. That lack of communication gives the clear impression that there was no genuine attempt at resolving the situation.

The QE was already in motion, and had you taken the time to understand that fully we may not even be having this exchange. Your claim that a liaison would have devolved into an argument is purely based on assumptions and your own reluctance or inability to engage in a constructive, adult conversation.

Calling your report “utterly substandard” was directed at the manner in which it was filed no you personally and I stand by that. And as far as your statement goes, hardly anything is “blatant rule break” as there is always two sides to the story. And again no need to be so eager, I will respond to your report and back my own corner as soon as I have had the chance to QE with the officer this concerns.

Best regards,
Sara

Good afternoon all!

I am hoping you both can answer these questions

@West1 Yes you do not have to go to QE with someone but why didn't you ask to speak with the player before making this report? If it were the other way round wouldn't you want a chance to explain your side before it went to something that could end up with you getting banned?

@Sara If the chance to QE with a reporter was presented after the report (which does happen) Wouldn't you want to take them up on that? Given that the out come of this current QE planned will not actually have an affect on the report as the person you are QEing with did not make this report.

The QE is happening as we speak and the person I feel like I have potentially wronged is in the call. I would rather QE this with the reporter as it saves time for everyone but as you can tell he is not willing to QE so there is no point in me asking. The officer that asked me to QE had apparently asked West to join us but he was not willing to do so. Thanks.

Edit; the QE went well and I will be tackling this report now.

Good Afternoon @Jessie Bennett and thanks for your swift reply.

@West1 Yes you do not have to go to QE with someone but why didn't you ask to speak with the player before making this report? If it were the other way round wouldn't you want a chance to explain your side before it went to something that could end up with you getting banned?

Ill be fully Honest in my eyes there was no explaining the actions taken and thus a qe would not have swayed me against reporting as this in my eyes is what directly escalated the whole situation last night. And although @Sara seems to think I wasn't wronged and seems to think I'm a third party I was involved in this full situation from start to end and feel that this was the catalyst that took away all avenues of rp that wasn't a firefight. I also believe that I am giving the chance to explain herself through this report as I don't believe any action would have been taken without her getting the opportunity to defend herself. Ontop of this as I said to Matty who organised the QE with Sara I'm not open to a qe although I may have been persuaded before getting called "Substandard" and that I am "eager to report" and now I am no longer open to a QE.

Although I do appreciate that QE's are the norm and I also usually go through that route but as I said earlier I had a feeling it would devolve into an argument and considering the tone behind the replies I believe that my suspicions would have been correct.


As for the if it where the other way around question. I do believe that QE's are good but a report is also where I could defend myself so along as I had the report where I could give my views I wouldn't be as mad although I would prefer to go QE but if I did something (in my eyes as blatant as this) then I wouldn't expect the QE as I see them as a bit of a luxury as they aren't required.

Any further questions or if you require further explanation ill be open and respond to any asked by staff

To summarise and hopefully bring this report to a close I will explain my POV of the situation.

Outside of Ballas being threatened and escorted off Mara turf by police to disengage from the original shootout, there was no active pursuit targeting me personally. At no point prior to the parking at the casino was I made aware of being actively chased, and I came to that conclusion when I stood stationary for a while at the casino bridge, while other members of Ballas were being boxed in/chased/targeted.

Because I was stood around for some time and no officers made any attempt to interact with me or make it known that I was in fact being pursued and that I was the target in the situation. I made the choice to park my car up, partly because I needed to go in head quickly and partly because I knew I had a warrant, so I tried to hide my identity and not stick out like a sore thumb in hopes of not escalating the situation to a shootout right there and then.

It was not until I was already at the casino valet, with my interaction button on the car that I received a radio call stating that I was being followed, and a pursuit from casino bridge to casino parking is hardly a 3 second pursuit. But by that point I had already made the decision to park my car, this was not to attempt to avoid or disrupt ongoing roleplay, it was simply a decision made off my understanding that I was not the target. I do understand the rule in question relates to storing a vehicle in a way that prevents roleplay, and I am not denying the fact that I did indeed store my car, but I want to make it clear that there was no intent to gain an unfair advantage or escape RP.

For me the RP started when I got into another Balla members car and the first interaction with police and me was made when they crash into us and says something along the lines of "get out of the car", and a pursuit is then taken place, and we get told to drive up north. But nevertheless, I have been corrected at the QE by Hank himself stating that I have misunderstood the situation and that there is an ongoing situation already as soon as police sirens are on or something of that sort. Inevitably a shootout does end up taking place around the highway a few minutes after this, that I take part in and ultimately go down at.

The QE along with Hank’s explanation put things into perspective for me, that I have as a matter of a fact broken this rule and I got a better understanding of how things were perceived on the other end. I have since spoken and apologised to the individual I believe was most directly impacted for any unintended disruption this may have caused. So, with that said, I will leave it in staff’s hands and will gladly accept any and all repercussions for this misunderstanding. Thanks.

Afternoon all,

I just want to provide extra context to the event that happened. I was the first officer that tried to make contact at Mara turf by pulling up alongside just saying we want to talk, this is when Sara drove away which ultimately lead to the events that got reported.
I have no issues with her, I reached out to Sara for a QE and spoke for about 10-15 minutes and we managed to clear up everything on my end and that's where hank also explained any misunderstandings on the rule as she mentioned above.

Hey @West1 thank you for taking the time to report this incident.

There are a few things that I would like to point out from reading over this report. First of all is the Report a Player Guidelines, which states you should attempt to resolve the issue like adults first but reading through this report at times just sounds like unjust remarks being thrown at each from both parties so in the future regardless of what side of the report you are on keep the report on the topic of the matter and attempt to try and resolve the issue.

As for the matter of what this report is, @Sara from all the evidence I can see has been provided it does make it hard to believe you didn't know you were being followed or chased at any point during as officers had also attempted to talk with you as seen in one of the clips, although considering you did speak to one of the officers in QE regarding it and a member of staff did explain the rule and to your acknowledgement that a rule was broken Im happy to leave this a warning considering you do have a clean record during your time so far here.

Report Approved:
CharID: 114471
