As someone who is, and has been for the past year, departmentally (now DPS) required to show my name on duty for matters of medical malpractice or general incompetency in my duties, it’s about time that LEO’s are finally having a burden of proof put against them for their wrongdoings and incompetency in their fields.
I cannot count how many times that I have been shot in crossfire by incompetent LEO’s who cant aim and decide to shoot the guy sitting on the bench at CD or the Firefighter trying to treat a patient, or the times I’ve been killed by LEO’s who decide to fire at the guy literally laying down roleplaying being shot by that LEO just for me to go up and ask for “name and badge” and them speed off to the CV that tapped them and drove off.
And for the classified operations, you aren’t as cool or undercover as you think. The only true people that are classified are FBI currently because they can go completely undercover in Civilian clothing and unmarked civilian cars, SWAT, FPS, CRT and FNG are all in extremely recognizable uniforms which tell me “oh your in a black uniform with a helmet, youre CRT” or “youre in a dark green uniform with a helmet, youre SWAT” or “youre wearing multicam combats, youre FNG” you get the idea. And even during those operations you are still, per BOR I, required to give your name and callsign.
And even then still, you would have a patch or a name tag somewhere on your uniform plainly showing your name, even on combat uniforms if you wanna talk about the realism aspect of it.
“oh but i can be easily targeted by criminals now ”, homie, you wear the same shit every time you enter game, the callsign on your car doesnt change all that often, and criminals can EASILY metagame and get away with it, so showing your name isn’t going to make all that much difference.
As said multiple times in this thread, “those who are against showing their names are those who have something to hide.”
Now y’all have to deal with the issue of if you fuck up, you can lose your job instead of screaming “NO POID!!!”
