Criminal roleplay

Kidnapping & Hostages

• If you have the ability to kidnap someone using handcuffs, you must use the actual in-game items. /me commands to simulate handcuffing are not valid.
• Once per full 24-hour RP day, you may take someone against their will for monetary gains. The scene must be played out to the best of your ability.
• In order to kidnap a person, there must be at least 4 officers on duty. If you are unsure, find out in-character.
• The maximum ransom you can request is $25,000. This amount covers all hostages currently in your possession.
• If a hostage or kidnapped person is complying, you are not allowed to kill them.
• You may not kidnap a PD or EMS employee if they are the only person on duty for their department.
• You cannot camp or hold a body that you were not involved in a scene with.

Targeting Emergency Services

• Directly targeting Emergency Services with little to no justification should be avoided.
• Having a valid reason to resist arrest — such as an active warrant or contraband — is acceptable grounds for resistance.
• You are not allowed to rob PD or EMS workers while they are on duty.
• You may NOT KILL ems while on duty. If EMS is not doing their job, it is not on the players to punish them. You must roleplay using the proper channels. If an EMS is dirty or helping criminals in a biased manner, you may report them. EMS will likely always prioritize PD unless RP prevents it.
• You cannot hold a weapon to someone to make them perform their job faster. Proper roleplay must be presented. Rushing a worker without context or valid RP is not permitted.

Torture RP

• Torture RP must be done within reason. The victim must be allowed to continue RP after the scenario with all body parts functional and intact, if they choose to.
• The victim may choose to keep any deformities from the torture scene.
• Spam kidnapping is highly frowned upon. Repeatedly kidnapping the same person or group without sufficient and distinct roleplay between each instance may result in the scene being voided.

Camping Locations

• Intentionally positioning yourself in high-traffic areas leading to illicit spots (drug areas, job areas, garages) for the purpose of robbing players is not allowed.
• Police camping drug spots solely to arrest individuals without other roleplay motivation is also not allowed.

Impersonating Emergency Services

• You cannot impersonate PD or EMS. Do not use their character models or uniforms.
• You may not impersonate town hall staff such as lawyers, judges, or anyone at town hall.

No Cop-Baiting

Do not intentionally try to draw police attention by doing things you would not do with an officer nearby. Examples include:

• Burning out in the middle of intersections
• Revving your engine at lights to bait a pullover or chase
• Committing traffic violations in the direct vicinity of a police officer

Policing the Police

• If you feel you have been mistreated in a police situation, use proper channels — such as reporting the officer to a higher-up or retaining a lawyer in-character.
• Do not contact an admin unless the officer is clearly breaking a server rule.
