  • Evidence gathered to get PC on someone's house/gangshed should be provided if requested by the player.
    • Evidence can be sent to the player either directly, in support or in a support ticket.
  • House/gang shed searches are authorized when:
    • An APD member has a form of probable cause (bounty, illegal weapon, etc.) and witnesses a civilian interacting with, shooting out of, or taking refuge in/on a house/gang shed in any form. The Sergeant+ has discretion on whether or not to conduct a search.
      • Example: A Civilian utilizing their house's roof or balcony to provide a combat advantage while engaged with the APD.
