As the Sergeant who was going to pull an orca in incident #2, I can assure you I was not ordered to not use the orca, we agreed it was not the best idea. Also, as far as the pardoning goes, the other Sergeant showed me evidence as to why giving the pardons was necessary. Many of the officers who were on scene as well even AGREED that if the suspects were caught in an unfair manner, they deserved to be let free. If anyone disagreed, they did not speak up from what I can recall. Overall, there was no abuse of power in the case. 
Edit: As Hubs has revealed, the constable that downed the suspects did not get up there legitimately. I doubt this move was intentional, and it was agreed that we could not carry on with regular processing procedures.

I don't know if what weapon/vehicle packs are going to be used are set in stone. 
 
But if we can have any input, i'd highly recommend HLC AK pack and all of the other HLC packs as well, most of the packs can be used on Asylum and all the weapons look good, have custom weapon sounds that are good and custom reload animations. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=286785370  
 
For outfits and uniforms.  - TRYK's Multi-Play Unifrom's pack http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453577279&searchtext= Loads of uniforms, vest, backpacks and headgear.  I think this is absolutely the best way to implement custom clothes for civilians and cops.
 
Those are my two suggestions and I hope they are considered.  Feel free to post your own suggestions on what mods to use!

I'd just like to take a minute to thank all of you for your service:
 

Sure we can blame it on it "being a popularity contest".. or, a regime removed the one person that had power over them, as well as the ability to punish them... So lets not buy into the bullshit propaganda and call it what it is k? might work on the kiddos but some of us see through it. 
 
I have said it before, I will say it again. Staff needs to be part of APD regulating. And if cost me my imaginary rank in a video game so players on this server can get proper due process / fairness, so be it.

Hamsham, let me start off by thanking you. There does need to be a lot more accountability for people and their actions where it is merited. I can agree and thank you more for attempting to call out instances where you see abuse and, further more, for having the self control to deduct the names from your experiences where you feel a wrong course of action has been taken. Let me start off by announcing to anyone in this thread at I was the Sergeant in the second instance mentioned above. However, I feel as if the events have been incorrectly interpreted and explained here for you. I'll be laying out my reasoning for making such calls and, as I mentioned several times to every cop in the channel, the "buck stops with me" (meaning I hold any and all responsibility for making such a call for those of you unfamiliar with the phrase). 
I am going to be breaking this down per sentence to help clarify the errors in your explanation. 
"A SGT is playing cop on server #3, his gang logs on civ and does the bank, the SGT sees this and order for tracers to be used, although there are only two of them and they're both on TOP of the ATM roof, just watching the ladder."
Unfortunately Hamsham, this is already an incorrect account of what actually happened. I had ordered lethals to be used on roofs and even gave an additional exception to use lethals. The verbatim quote I believe was, "If you cannot reasonably get to and restrain the person who you are downing, you may lethal them". This is because I give the exact same call at every single bank after it is confirmed that an actual good gang is doing it. I have made that exact same call every single time my gang has been doing the bank (countless times) and I will continue to be doing so until I see that they doing it in very small numbers or until I find it unnecessary (AKA if we have already lethaled a bunch of them or if there are only 3 or less remaining).  Now, your account actually starts off at the end of the bank, where I ordered a switch from lethal to non lethal ammunition because there were only 2 out of the many that were actually robbing the bank remaining (the rest were either lethaled or downed by cadets and removed from the bank). If you recall, this was after Kuklinski and Sean had crashed in the orca, leaving just these two people (Diseased and Roguepilot) left on the roof. I still think, as a higher up in the APD, that it is necessary and essential to switch back to non-lethals when you can reasonably apprehend the remaining two people and get to "roll play it out" with them. Feel free to argue that point with me but I would and still do the same for anyone.  "A different SGT asks if he should pull an orca, the gangs SGT orders him not to, just because there are only two of them"
Unfortunately Hamsham, this is once again an incorrect account of what actually happened. Skyanide (the other Sergeant he is referred to) was never at any point ordered by myself to not pull a helicopter. I personally thought that we had a better chance of downing the people on the roof with me on the light house and with people hovering in the little bird high above them, sniping off the benches. This is due to me being able to see their heads even when prone when looking straight up to shoot the Hummingbird. There was nothing stopping Skyanide from pulling his Orca and even if I told him directly not to (which I don't have the power to do because we are both Sergeants) he could have just as easily pulled it and came to the bank with it. Once again, your account of this particular instance deviates from the truth by a little, yet important amount.  Once again, there was a high chance that they would be apprehended as we had all turned the tide at the bank in the favor of the APD rather quickly compared to how long we were actually fighting at this location. Viiet (another gang member) had stormed the bottom as a cadet and downed many of them as well as many of them were lethaled with about 3 remaining on the roof. (One would be later lethaled off to make it only 2 as we see in this instance). I, as a higher up in the APD, once again see undebatable logic in my decision to switch back to non lethal ammunition due to an extremely low number of remaining rebels. We do not simply want to lethal everyone off and call it a day. Lethals are to be used as a stand in for when non lethal ammunition cannot cut it. When there are 8+ fully geared rebels rolling together (not to mention in a good defensible position), the amount of normal APD members as well as the cost of APD lives needed to restrain and escort people out of an area and prevent them being lock picked is not tantamount (or reasonable) to what we have available. So, lethals should be used as a stand in until we can get that number down to a more manageable parameter. Once that manageable parameter has been reached for each situation, you should switch back over to non lethal. There have been times where I have lethaled the remaining amount of people on the bank due to incorrect call outs (saying there are 4 people instead of 2 resulting in the lethaling of the only 2 remaining people) however this should be followed to best of one's abilities. This bank is no exception. I stand by this line of logic with my dying breath and the fighting of my gang had no effect on my decision to do what I did.  "Then a couple of constables somehow get on top of the ATM roof and down/restrain both of them, this is a fail on the rebels part, not a good action among the police, one-way up one-way down, the rebels should of been watching it"
Partially correct, one constable somehow got on top of the ATM roof, and that was via exploiting. Then, cadets followed after he jumped on the roof. It was no failure on part of the rebels, they were watching for people climbing up the ladder, not for people exploiting (unintentionally I believe) to be on the top of it. It was solely won via an exploit, which does not sit right with me as a higher up. I even ended up comping them 20k each for their gun and ammo.  "anyways the rebels complained the officers somehow exploited to get to the roof and the gangs SGT gives a stern talking to to the constables who downed/restrained them and pardons the rebels after"
Again, this unfortunately isn't true. I pulled the lone officer aside who did accidentally exploit to the top of the ladder and got video evidence from him showing what happened BEFORE I conversed with my fellow higher up to make the call. The conversation was not stern once so ever. Also, I was never the one to actually do the pardoning. I asked him (the officer in question) what had happened and how he reached the top of the ladder without climbing all the way to the top. The lone officer in question responded with his Gyazo and I asked that he hold on to it because they might push some administration action because the 2 rebels who were caught were under the impression that he did this intentionally. This wasn't a rash decision or one influenced by my association with this gang. I also made sure I was not the one who pardoned them and that myself and Skyanide reached a joint decision before them being pardoned. Hamsham, I know that you know the officer in question here very well. Ask him, next time you see him, if our conversation was "stern".    "even though they're in the same gang without proper proof of exploitation or breaking the rules. (TL:DR - Gang SGT gives special treatment to his gang while they're on civ)."
And yet again, unfortunately, is yet another incorrect account of what happened. I made sure I got the Gyazo of the officer's point of view before I made any move. I acquired proper proof before I made any decisions off of it, which isn't what you have done here in my case. This is the part that kind of disappointing me here Hamsham, is that on one hand I love the fact that you are calling out actions that you see as needing to be called out... However, on the other hand, you give a grossly misrepresented account of what actually took place. I really suggest that you go next time and get the full story before seeing it and reporting it simply through one lens. Especially when things are happening behind the scenes which you clearly had no idea about. Especially when I conversed this with other higher ups and reached a joint decision on what fate the two rebels caught would succumb to. I think everyone who has ever played cop with me on server 3 knows fair well I joke about how I am one headshot away on Diseased (the leader of my gang) from being kicked out because of all the Meth and vehicles seized from them and because of all the members I have shot and either downed or killed while on cop. The sad part is, while I make this joke over and over, I actually think it will happen at any moment. The first thing they do every single time I hop in my gang's TS is call me a "rat cop" because I "try hard against them". Hamsham, you honestly couldn't have picked a worse candidate to put forth the "giving partial treatment out to my gang" claim to.  Here is the Gyazo of what I used to base my decision off of and to bring it to my fellow higher ups in order to reach the joint decision of both of the rebels in question getting pardoned. https://gyazo.com/aaa13ab105a952829f1c2945156979d2 This is from the officer in question's point of view. 

Yet another Hubschrauber checkpoint with amazing help from Sojobo.

Some of the kills I have got lately. 
Enjoy.
 

Simply add a force for gang tags to be in each gang members name. That would actually make it easier for a lot of people. 
 
But otherwise I'll keep my ratchet ass powerline tag. 

I always see people getting shot out of their striders and hunters crossing the bridge. Dont worry, I got the solution!
 

LOL good landing, but in the end, Arma won 

Big kudos to the new mods who are spending countless hours going through vids for comp and player reports
 
 

+1 @L1on. Great RP! Had a fun interaction watching you and the Chinese the other day. That google translate rp

I don't know what exactly is going on, but fuck all of you and the captains and myself
 

They dont do anything because the proposed things for them to do were extremely OP.  
 
If anything they need to remove them and replace them with warrant/medic/UC slot.  The k9 thing would be entirely to much stress on the server with the scripts that would be needed to run it.
 
 

Last night Justin May had me laughing in the middle of processing. Great RP. 10/10

Urgh, I worked as a KFC assistant manager for YUM! when I was 19. Never again.
 
Now though, im an ex programmer for a company that went bust. And now im working as a researcher at a private collection of WW2/WW1 items. I like it, but it basically means the CS degree I spent so much money getting is not being used.
Im also basically a sign language translator because my Mute fiance is a bit of a socialite. Fortunately I dont have to sign to her, since she can hear. But cant say the same for a few of the people she helps out at a deaf awareness group, and of course has me come. Ill have arthritis before im 30 I swear.

Sign is a really amazing language, but holy fuck does it hurt after a few hours.
 
EDIT: Bit of context.

Really? I've been playing rebel with a few friends under a new name recently on various servers (mostly 3 and 4) and I've been extremely pleased with the level of roleplay I've seen. 
Roughly 60% discount after wiping the cops 3 or so times and attempting to rescue a friend. Cops all roleplayed well, were engaged, patient and personable with my little group of 4. Even after dealing with a potentially frustrating engagement. So kudos server 3 cops. 
If you're having bad experiences with cops, try switching servers or potentially adopting some new RP ideas. Some cops just refuse to RP and that sucks, but most will get into it if you get the ball rolling. Sadly, a lot of people behave badly when caught and I've noticed that cops are starting to expect that to be the default interaction and roleplay suffers because of it. But in my experience, when the cops see that you're friendly and trying to have a good RP experience, they're pretty eager to work with you.
So even though it shouldn't really work like that, you might have to be the one to get RP started and hopefully the officer/s reciprocate. Either that, or I'm totally wrong and I've just been getting lucky with cops who like to RP. 

Driving an Unregistered Vehicle charge is $250.
Using a Go-Kart on main roads does not give automatic probable cause on its own.
As APD personnel you may pull them over, if they comply you may charge them, you may impound and give them ride back into town.
This should be very straightforward.
Ticket Guide is updated.  Let's make sure and make this a fun, RP experience if we catch them with Go-Karts.

Constable Rookie: holy shit this guy is fun to RP with. Long story short, he made himself, RJ, Abstand, and I all fathers of the same 2 kids in a matter of seconds Corporal RJ: this fucking guy goes around as a slutty nurse who heals everyone while high on cocaine or on a red gull overdose, can't tell which  Lieutenant. Cadet. Rock Hardick: He's self explanatory 

So this happened with a MK20  Sorry for the big LOL
 
 

Useful information everyone should know and should consider when attempting to take out an orca.
 

Note i tested these with MXM - below
On pilot side - it takes 10 shots to the bar you see in red.
Co-pilot side - you can't hit the bar at all, don't even try...
 
Co-pilot side - the circular object in the middle, it takes 5-6 shots
Pilot side - circular object does no damage
 
in conclusion, there are really only two spots you can take the tail rotor out on, the circular piece, and the horizontal bar.
