[Pledge 2291]

Chapter XIII - APD Equipment & Ground Vehicles

1. APD Tools
   
   1. Weapons are to be carried in low-ready position when not engaged in a situation that warrants the use of the weapons.
   
   2. Tear gas, smoke grenades and flashbangs are to be used in tactical situations only
   
   3. Spike strips may be deployed on suspects utilizing ground vehicles who are attempting to evade the APD. Spike strips may be used in any situation provided they disable only suspects that the APD is actively engaged with.
   
   4. GPS Trackers may be used anytime, anywhere, for anything.
   
   5. Bolt Cutters are ONLY to be used by Patrol Officers or higher when the owner of a house is NOT online.
   
   6. The SDAR can be used by POs+ without approval of a Sergeant as long as the suspect is in the water or there is no other way of dealing with him (I.E. Suspect is on an unreachable roof). In other words, use it as a last resort.
   
             1. In all other cases, a Sergeant or higher will need to approve the use of an SDAR.
                         
                         1. SDARs may only be authorized at the Federal Reserve and Blackwater when the APD is heavily outnumbered with less than 5 minutes left on the bomb timer and a text sent to the gang/group participating in the event stating that SDARs are being authorized.
   
                         2. This does not mean you will be able to store an SDAR in your backpack. After you have used the SDAR, seize it.
   
                                         1. Exception: Exception: You may have an SDAR in your backpack during Boat Patrols and must be seized after the patrol is over.
   
   7. APD Officers are only authorized to use equipment available to them at their rank in the APD Shop.
   
   8. Bait Appliances may only be used on bait cars not intended for unmarked patrol. (No civilian or standard police vehicles)   
   
   9. Civilians will only be pardoned for being blindfolded during processing if they inform the officer they are blindfolded and the officer chooses to ignore them                                                                                                                                                                            
2. Vehicles
   
   1. Police vehicles must be secured at all times. If an officer is expected to be away from their vehicle for a prolonged period of time, the vehicle should be impounded to prevent theft.
   
            1. This does not apply to active engagements or situations.
   
   2. Impounding any vehicle before a situation is clear is prohibited.
   
   3. Lights and sirens are to be used only in fulfillment of one’s duties as an officer.
    
3. The Armed Jeep
   
   1. Armed Jeep Patrol - Armed Jeep patrols are conducted by Corporals and higher. These patrols are utilized for a heavy APD response to large gang actions or high risk rebel activity. (Generally don't use for patrol against low risk interaction)
   
            1. Armed Jeeps will follow armed plane engagement rules.

what if i text back saying no? how would you proceed with this authorization?

[Messy_0 398]

what is defined as "heavily outnumbered"  a 3:1 ratio of civs at the fed to cop? or 4:1, 5:1

Thanks for letting me know about this loophole.

Dumb rule tbh. I love how you put "Heavily outnumbered" so that you can use it as a loophole.
