I was hard VDM'd by @ knifemaster while I was trying to delay the APD responding to the fed, my intent was for the APD to have to get keys and move the plane, or to otherwise move the plane delaying the waves so that the team doing the fed (TP) could have some extra breathing room free of the APD. The planes were used in this instance in the exact same manner in which the APD utilises their cars/hunters/striders to block the gates to the fed so the gold truck cannot escape. I submitted an IA and it was declined.
Winters said this:
Nowhere in the APD handbook or server rules states that APD officers are allowed to VDM people or ram them to attend a federal event, bearing in mind that the requirement for attendance to a federal event is an APD handbook requirement and the rules against VDM are a server rule. Server rules must take precedence over the APD handbook, as per Winters here:
The APD officer in question could've done any of the following:
1. Ask me to move the plane.
2. Slim jim keys to the plane and use the "push plane" feature that exists on the server.
3. Drive to the side of the plane, as another cop already had.
Instead of doing any of these options, my vehicle was rammed instead causing the death of myself and another cop. It's beyond the pale that to defend APD members breaking server rules that they would just quote "rules" that are neither in the server rules or in the handbook to instantly come to their defence.
Here is a slightly edited version of the TeamSpeak conversation, there's some interesting bits in there that you can quote and use as defence for your VDM reports:
Senior APD has the server by the balls and outranks even senior/head admins and even @ Ryan in their ability to just make up the rules to see them and their friends through and to help them avoid punishments. Grow up lads.
