I think we, LEOs, should be allowed to hold radar guns* whilst in our vehicles. In real life, police hold radar guns in their cars. Why can’t we?
Yes. There is a system where we can’t equip tools whilst in the car. So we could just hold it and then get in the car. And we can unequip it when we get out.
So basically. Allow us to hold radar guns whilst sat in our cars.
It is literally no scripting to hold a radar gun, which we already have, then sit in the car (which we can already do). And then jump to get out the car, which we can already do, and unequip it, which we can already do.
most leos in real life use them when the vehicle is stationary, i am almost certain that people won’t be using the radar gun stationary. just park your vehicle in a spot thats out from the open and use your radar gun like that.
theres a reason for why you can’t equip your tools when your in the drivers seat.
It’s a pain having to unequip the tool and quickly get back in the car when a speeder passes by. It might be out of sight by the time you get back in your car.
As far as I’m aware actually, some do. They have built in cams which do ANPR/ALPR and stuff, but some also do speed whilst they’re moving, if they’re at the speed limit etc. We wouldn’t have an ALPR system, so we can just use the radar guns.
Support,
I want to be able to use the radar gun whilst flying without being shouted at. We should be able to use it anyway in ASU when flying but we’re not.
i got a speeding ticket by passing a cop oncoming
places got radar built into the car so they can see cars speeds without needing to hold up a radar gun
got the ticket in February, finally got it dropped from 15 over limit to illegal parking
