wish civs would actually rp too man, don't act its all just on cops. Lots of civs just think that saying "ohh he ran my towards me with a gun, I felt threatened and killed him" is "RP" which lets be honest is not, or even close to being any rp.
I too have seen many great RP scenarios, and seen people with 200k + bounties go away with a pardon, myself have given pardon to high bounties, but as said before, the civ is the only one who can really make it happen, its not on the cop to give the RP story, but the civ being arrested.
