The main thing that concerns me with this rule is that because it's for the whole of the APD, it is going to be abused by the two lowest ranks as such. It is a given and I have seen it done. Clemenza and Peter, you both do it, however you still RP with us when it comes to the nitty gritty. If you won't revise the rule at least train the grunts on properly RP'ing it out. There have been a few lower rank members that do abide and RP better than some corporals I will add, but one bad egg can ruin a new players entire experience on the server. There will ALWAYS be that one bad egg, however a majority of the encounters can better be differed by more thorough RP training. It is in fact the most critical part of playing as a Cop on an RPG server. A way to get out of a person refusing to identify themselves is by testing blood, scanning their iris, tissue sample, hair sample, dental records and even a saliva swab if it comes down to that. Furthermore if they talk their way out of those it is fail RP because it is humanely impossible to not have at least 3 of those! Even at that point RP doesn't need to end, you can say " Well sir since you seem to have no possible way to identify you, I will have to incarcerate you for the crimes I have witnessed you committing, the minimum sentence is 5 years I'll see you then!" Then just send them to jail. Out think your opponent!
Tilda is fine to be used in all aspects, however like was stated above, watch that person and wait, get them when they start driving because you ran their plates, or bust them when they commit a new crime because they are going to, they're criminals! It doesn't hurt to wait anyway, you end up with a BIGGER BOUNTY as a reward in the end. The excuses made above for this rule are just that, excuses. It's an RP server, as Staff your job given by the Owner of the server is to enforce that, otherwise you wouldn't be in the positions you are! I'm not mad at you Peter or Clemenza, but I am pointing out to you as a part of this community that this is a failure and as a dissatisfied member, along with many others, we want change!
I don't know all the rules by heart, I most certainly slip up and make errors, I'm human. That's understandable for everybody. However I can RP me heart out because I love getting away from daily stress and work and college! If you would like me to set a day when I have time in this next week, by all means I can and we can run a training session on Roleplay for the cops. Just let me know.
