Police Chases.

[myth-simba]

Now i've gave this idea a lot of thought and it could easily be done.
Now this is nothing to do with Gps, this is a side mission where you can play as a policeman but i'll split it all up into sections so you don't get confused.

The plot

When you murder somebody you get bounty. Players who have bounty are in danger as players can go to the police station and talk to the npc cop who will issue an arrest warrant on him. Players can do a vigilante side mission to catch or kill this player with the use of cuffs or guns. When mission starts they get an arrow to where this player was when mission started but no more so cops will have to find andf track them down. There is a time limit and if the criminal evades police until time is over then the bounty of criminal almost doubles. Mission cannot be set onto you until a slight duration of time has passed and the more bounty on your arse the more player cops can persue you. You also get cash for evading cops or catching criminals.

Criminals
When you have bounty cops will persue you as a side mission but there are ways to make amendments if you are sick of police chases. You can either hand yourself into the npc cop by selecting the option or let a player cop catch you. When arrested you go into a prison cell and you are stuck there for about 1 minute then doors open and you are free. you bounty is also 0 when caught.
However when you have police on your arse sometimes its better to be aggressive than evasive. If you show heavy resistance such as injuring police you get bounty and if you kill police you get more bounty than you normally would shooting another criminal.

Police (not Gps)

When you start mission as a policeman you can choose at first which player you will persue by looking at the list of acct names which players reported (listed on a bullitin board) The higher the bounty the more police can persue so there is some competition for criminal catching.
You got cuffs to catch criminals inside the no pk zones and guns to catch them outside pk zone however, you get more money if you cuff rather than kill them. To be a police you need 0 bounty so either hand yourself in if a criminal to be one. If you have a car you can drive it into the police garage and when you start mission it will turn into a police squad car for the duration of the mission. The more bounty criminals got the more dangerous they must be.

When flying system released at xmas then police helicopters can be issued to the good cops who have caught X amount of criminals. These helicopters have a camra on the bottom which is shown by a faint white circle. All cops can see everything within this white circle so the ground cops know where to go or what he looks like. however you get no rewards such as this but flying helicopters is a privledge enough.

Thanks for reading please comment.


oh about arrest warrants... you can report yourself if you want a chase too aslong as you have some bounty.

Are you going to collect the bounty?

1) What if the player doesn't want to play this and is a pker?

2) This is totally dis-regarding the fact that gangs exist. If your gang leader is about to be arrested im pretty damn sure 10 members are ready to take a cop out. But of course no one will script such a thing so your gang leader is just being taken away by cops while the members can't do anything. I'm not crying about realism, im just complaining that such systems like this aren't well thought out.

1) it adds more of a challenge to the pker therefore making it harder so more players would want to go and get support from gangs.
If you person does not want to play this then drive to the police station and spend 1 min in a cell to have your sins forgotten.
They only get cop trouble if someone reports them, if you are not seen pking by a witness and the person you killed doesn't report you then you are fine.

2) Anyone can shoot police, it just means they'll get a bounty. so you can protect your gang members but you'll be risking your freedom. But gangmembers should be willing to take a bullet or a cell space for their don yes?

but yes you are right. the cop limitation is definately a bad thing. yeah forget the cop limit thing

Or they can just disable the system for themselves. Make it optional.

Or the entire family (assuming we're talking about morano family) can watch out for eachother. I mean how the hell do you figure a "cop" can jail a gang member when it's the same gang member that most likely has weapons that out-do the cops? It's the same gang member that raids other gang houses. This kind of stuff needs to be thought out. I can see a newbie pker getting jailed easily, of course. But I can't imagine a gang member being jailed, unless it was like an expendible noob from BB or something.
