Pending LT discussion
-
AR Approved for March 2021.
Lieutenants have voted in favor of granting you a month of absence due to the lack of history of ARs. In the future please try to get an AR in earlier in the month or at least reach out to an LT via TS or Discord.
Best of luck in your real life!
Regards,
The Lieutenants
-
Lieutenants will discuss your case and let you know either way via a post on this thread.
-
AR denied. Feel free to find me in TeamSpeak if you wish to discuss this.
-
Approved for February 2021.

i dont like the idea of this most of the events i go to the first thing i see when my group lose an ifrit is that a LT+ jump in to that ifrit and go back to the hq and this would be even worse if cops could claim it.
The claiming thing was simply an idea. As for an LT jumping into your ifrit and bailing with it, put more than one person in an ifrit? Stop us while we are heading back to HQ? Plan your tactics a little more when an LT is on?

So I am confused, do you want APD pulling more armor or do you want them the same price as civ? APD is designed to lose more than civ and make less money than civ, to help offset that our gear is cheaper.
-
I am not entirely opposed to APD ifrits being claimable there are just a few things.
- Could never keep the cop skin so as to prevent confusion for new players.
- Claim price needs to be the same as a civ ifrit.
- It would devalue the civ ifrit because as an LT on cop I do not have the fear of it being seized by the APD or another group taking and claiming it. I only have to worry about a rebel group taking my ifrit and claiming it. Because of this I am more likely to pull out an ifrit to push a bank. The more times I pull one, the more likely I am to lose one.
-
The ifrit was given to the APD as a counter for situations in which the APD is already struggling. This means we are generally going to pull them in situations which have a higher risk of losing them to rebels.
-
We already have the risk of them being lockpicked and used against us, taken and chopped, or taken and blown up. Being able to claim them would add the risk of that ifrit being used against the APD in future situations including times when the LT+ who originally pulled it isn't even online.
- The APD has been struggling in recent times with being overloaded by the number of ifrits used against us. The APD ifrit is a counter, claiming could possibly compound this issue.

Personally I think right now should be more of a hold off and see how it plays out. Right now we have a new toy, that new toy will wear off and they will not be pulled half as frequently.
An idea came up while I was talking with other higherups as a counter if civs where given the ability to claim APD ifrits. Allow civ ifrits to be repurposed for APD use (cops claiming civ ifrits). I think a variation of this (if possible with code and honestly I doubt it because it would be a lot to track on the database) would be cool.
An APD ifrit is taken by rebels and claimed. Later on an LT+ captures that ifrit and takes it back to an HQ. Because it started out as an APD ifrit the LT+ is able to repossess the ifrit and take ownership of it. LT+s would not be able to repossess ifrits purchased from rebels, crafted or comped by the Admin Team.

Why would the burden fall on the officer? Sure its a good practice but this burden should rest on the civilian similar to when making an RDM report (5 minutes prior must be recorded to add full context)
This is a very unusual and unconventional use of lethal force. That is why an officer should clip their perspective.

That’s what trainings are for, maybe....we can compromise, think about it, like mock ride along or SWAT Cert, we make something obtainable by constables-sgts called EntryTeam or something. Which allows them to enter and raid (enter with locked doors not remove stuff from inventory) HVT houses(people with bounty’s over 100k) it could add specifications and make it more of a trusted thing.
If you want to chat more about it I am always happy to in TS!

I just think constables-corporal should have the ability to do more, if you can’t trust a constable as a constable then why have them as a constable? 9 out of 10 times when a suspect is shooting out of a house there is no sgt+ on, at least from my experience in my last 10 weeks as a constable. Personally I believe that if you can’t trust a constable with a ability as simple as opening a door, then maybe we shouldn’t have that person as a constable.
Unfortunately seeing what we see every month, the IAs that come in, videos we get given, it just isn't something that I would trust people to use properly. If people can't properly use lethal ammo why should we trust them with opening houses?

The devs could fix that issue easily by making it to where if a door(that’s locked) is opened by a cop or medic it will relock itself shortly after, thus eliminating that example completely because it wouldn’t cause issues later down the line.
Is it fair that the civ had to run around the house and the cop got to go through?
Yes I know them hiding in their house and shooting out isn't very fair to cops either, but is the solution to go over the other way?

Honestly, I think Constable+ should be able to open doors, hear me out before destroying me.... if a Constable has the option to blow a house up and in the process kill a civ right... why can't we use the same procedure but enter the house instead? NOW I get that that houses are supposed to be seen as "Safe places" but those are very very abused on cops, if a civilian is brave enough to shoot out of a window, then he is brave enough to cqc some cops.. Now, we can put stipulations in place that prevent abuse such as... make it blacklistable if they abuse it. I.E Entering the house without a valid reason such as shooting out of the house. If a civilian shoots out of a house that should automatically forfeit their "safe place". I get A LOT in the past have done stupid stuff, but that shouldn't discourage giving items or tools to the majority of us.. as Constables we're seen almost as Cadets, unable to resolve situations. Make it so that Constables have to follow a strict procedure I.E, they have to wait 5 minutes before entering, have to comply with Constable-Sgt raid rules, once entering have a 1 life rule unless 5 or more cops are on.. this procedure can go on.
Sorry no.
It isn't entirely history that is the reason I say hard no to constables or even corporals getting this ability. It is present as well. Unfortunately nice things get abused in the APD. As LTs we see situations where people show zero regard for the guidebook far to often to allow people this kid of power. There are far to many ways even being allowed to just open doors could be abused and the offender would never be caught. I understand people abuse their houses which is why the current constable-sergeant raid policy is in place.
History does of course play a part. In the past less powerful things have been given to corporals and they abused it horribly. That is why they don't have them anymore.
A quick example of how it could be abused.
Cop opens doors to a house no one is inside because it is faster to go through than around.

You can see Alex moving someone to senior chamber 1, and in the other one you can see Mr Chow kicked for being AFK. Hes just living up to his name is all.
Didn't notice that, you are correct.

Was there an LT in a senior chamber? We are not on cop for all but that time, but we are usually around. We might not be able to get on, but when I am on TS and get messaged to do a raid I always try to help out.

really none on during EU time and by the looks of it you should have sgt's be able to open doors
Was talking to other LTs earlier. There is probably less than 5 hours a day when there is not an LT in TeamSpeak. Of course we are not always able to respond or get on right when needed. As for SGTs opening doors, that has been suggested and is being looked at. There are benefits and detriments to that.

Only full tickets if a suspect is locked inside a house.
While this is defiantly an idea which could work to reduce the issue, the problem still arises of what to do when the civilian does not pay. If you want to talk more about this idea, feel free to reach out to me via forum pm, discord, or TeamSpeak. This is still the FAQ topic.
