Statute of Limitations (Bounties Should Diminish Over Time)

[ghostOO9]

It would be a nice change for the bounties to decrease by a certain amount every hour (say 2.5k or some small percent). This has three main benefits:

1. Reflects the Statute of Limitations seen in the real world, ie. after a certain amount of time you can't be prosecuted for a previous crime.

2. This would incentives people to try to outrun their bounties, which could lead to more interesting gameplay. Currently their isn't much reason to try to run from the cops when you're ready to get off. At some point you'll have to pay for your bounty or do the time, so may as well deal with it as soon as possible. But if you knew there was a possibility of your bounty decreasing over time, you may lay low or try to kill the cop whos trying to arrest you instead of just turning yourself in. 

3. This would save citizens time and mild annoyance when dealing with small charges. Often I find myself wanting to do some sort of drug running but realize I have some small 3k bounty that has been following me around for the past few hours (from lock picking my friends tuck or something) and so I have to either find a cop or go all the way to a town hall to turn myself in. Not huge problem, but it's just one of those mild annoyances that I could do without.

No, people already jump off buildings/towers, jump out of cars, and grenade themselves enough. Downvote

hmm, maybe we could reset the statute of limitations upon death to incentives people to survive their bounties rather than killing themselves

I personally like high bounties, and I know I’m not the only one. I’ve come across countless gamers keeping a bounty, imo it brings in more fights in new locations. Instead of constant cartels, now my group could have a bunch of bounty hunters attack us on the highway. -1, but not a terrible idea maybe with some adjustments it can be made to satisfy everyone.

As of right now we do not have any interest in implementing a 'Statute of Limitations' don't break the law and if you do talk to any of the officers.
Further than that you don't ping for bounties of 3k so you should be good to go do your thing. And you talking about paying or going to prison, well the system in its current state doesn't take long to get released if you press plates and 3k is a really low bounty you can easily earn that back in less than 5 minutes.
