A lack of....criminals?

totally, i don’t blame the bulk of FBI agents for the issues. my only concern is that the level of undercover that exists hurts the flow of the game and turns off criminals from firestone

as well as seeing tactical units respond to like a neighbor dispute or a robbery alarm lol

turns my gears

I feel like tactical units should not be responding to normal calls when deployed, last I checked the National Guard and SWAT combined don’t respond to a stabbing, or assault call.

I could understand if it was a SWAT Operator not deployed, using a 3S callsign, but CRT, and FNG 3IR/6RR shouldn’t be responding to “omg i got stabbed”, it’s overkill and makes an unfair advantage.

they wear badges ofc, most of them like the hip badge cause its hidden when they are sitting down but they still got a badge and they can still be IDed as cops

IO literally used the exact same placement for badges

The point is, I don’t want to be bum rushed by FBI wearing a japanese school uniform or something, they should at least be able to be somewhat identifiable, Making them completely undercover is an unfair advantage for criminals.

I’m convinced that this is the only way criminals will be happy with how undercover cops look in FirestonePng

No, I just want to be able to identify someone if I look hard enough, It’s fucking annoying to have put the effort in to find P_aws, jus for some FBI cross-dressing to taze and cuff me.

nothing wrong with wearing normal attire, just don’t run around with a giraffe costume or dressed as bob the builder rushing into hostage situations to gun down clumps of people. it’s cringy as fuck and kills peoples want to play the game

Ofc the animal crap is unrealistic, but for the most part the agents try to dress realistically, one of 2 dudes might go overboard with wheelchairs and crap but like a majority of the agents do wear casual realistic attire

also that agent got banned for scene rushing and not wearing a badge so they didn’t let that shit slide

we’re kind of getting side tracked on this forum here but the main point being

criminals are leaving in droves, and it’s not happening for no reason either, there are very clear issues that remain unaddressed after 5 years that continue to plague this community

I went criminal because I saw that some criminals were leaving and I got bored of legal so I wanted to try something new, but after seeing what criminals have to go through, I can understand why they get mad at LEOs a lot. The balance needs to be fixed. We should not rack up 2K in citations in one scenario. If it goes over the 950 limit, too bad, so sad. Don’t abuse the citation tool.

the whole citing + arresting shouldn’t really be a thing anyways unless you’re racking off traffic infractions. money is too scarce here and people struggle to earn even $10 an hour in game, now when you rack on thousands upon thousands in citations, people’s problems suddenly become a lot bigger.

every cop in firestone wants to play big and bad sheriff in town up until there’s no criminals left to go after because they over-cited them out of the game.

The problem is a lot of things- a lot of specialized departments focus on crime prevention(which doesn’t work in firestone and when it does, it only hurts the community’s RP) and things such as these hard laws and punishments that aim to make crime seem morally wrong in firestone, and then you just have flat out lack of dev supported criminal activity- they can either rob a bank and get bum rushed by cops, rob an atm for a couple K, rob a store for a couple K, shoot up people and take their pocket change

100% Agree, I never did it myself as a LEO.

Yeah, I’ve had to afk farm to make money cause there’s literally no other way to do it, and the ATM Robbery isn’t really that worth it. The ONE TIME I got it right, I got arrested.

Not to mention, you would have to sit at the ATM for like 10 minutes to make anything good.
