Am I able to use an initiation text that encompasses everything in it instead of having to be specific?

Say I set a macro (or just have it copy / pasta'd) text that reads:
"Hands up or die. If you're in a vehicle, out of the vehicle and hands up or die. If you're in a heli, land the heli, get out, and hands up or die."

If I sent that text to someone and they didn't comply, am I in the clear to whiff a whole mag?

Intentions clearly stated, yes. Now remember to give reasonable time to read all that, and comply.

Question "Heard if no one RP's with you within 5 min you can log out?" @Gen. Henry Arnold @Jake @BaDaBiNg_10-8 @Clint Beastwood @Zoex @Samperino @MoralityVII @RoguePilot @Patato

If in zipties, No its 10min - after 10mins of being in BH cuffs you can log.

If you're not in handcuffs and they do somthing like throw you in a house & are walking around freely/lock you in a vehicle while not in zipies you can log out after 5mins of no initation

Restrain, i see what you mean had situation only thing suspect said was "hey how are you doing, you know you can't log out right now cause i just talked to you right?"  @Patato

Once they restrain you the 10min timer starts, Doesnt matter what they say, how many times they re-restrain you. after 10mins is up you can log without punishment.

I'm guessing that applies to cops as well if they get kidnapped and left without any RP then re-restrained after like 10 minutes again, yes? 

The APD must follow server rules at all times but also have a set of APD specific rules that are made by the captains enforced by LT's. 

To answer your question, Yes - you won't get banned. But check with your local LT to see if its against APD policy as you may get points.

Question if a under cover officer can patrol the fed for how long? @Patato

You can patrol Fed all you like as a UC or marked officer you won't catch a ban for it. However I think your question would probably be better suited on the APD gray area  as I'm assuming you're more worried about points on your app rather than a ban.

after an undercover officer dies at a red zone with other regular officers the undercover is allowed to go back, but can regular apd officers also come back because technically they are backing the undercover up? - this lets them come back non stop if they have an undercover

Please direct your question towards an LT, Admins do not create or enforce APD policys.

Is shooting out the engine or tail rotor of a heli and they crash as a result considered RDM if you dont initiate? Since technically they could land it if they were a good pilot its their fault they died?

If you shoot the tail rotor/engine out and they die (without initiating) it’s consdiered RDM. Same applies with rolling barricade on civ, you can do it but if the other vehicles occupants die, it’s VDM.

As long as one person doesn't comply, you can't control what the vest kills.

I think there was a question similar to this previously but I wanna double check.

if there’s an individual in a crowd of people and I tell him hands up or die and he doesn’t comply so I suicide vest him would I be RDMing everyone around him ( the crowd )?

So I have had admins tell me that using a superjump, jumping off rocks or small ledges for large gains, or any other type of jump that defies physics and gets you to a high place for a tactical advantage is an exploit and no bueno.  Some other guys are stating it may be ok.

Is this allowed?

Specifically is jumping off rocks, ledges and tents in the prison to escape it if one were to fall inside the prison if its active allowed?  What about the wall surf near the skeleton inside the prison that places you on a wall?

I have not seen anyone do it to report recently, but it seems that some clarification in writing is needed so everyone is on the same page

Superman jumping is an exploit and is not allowed, if you gain an advantage from it you are going to be banned - that being said if you see a group of people doing it and its not harming anyone don't expect us to ban them

Not sure what is meant by wall surfing.

Warning shots for helis:

1. What is a warning shot defined as?

2. What does it signify?

3. Does a helicopter have to fly away to be safe or can they land a certain amount of meters further?

1.) Warning shots are intended to be used in situations where a player is unable to contact a heli pilot (If they are in combat/pilot wearing a mask)

2.) It signify s you need to leave the area, if they fail to leave the area or attempt to land you may shoot them.

3.) Helicopters should fly away if they do not wish to be initiated. However after receiving warning shots should they choose to land they can immediately engage in combat without further initiation (Much like if someone shoots your car tires).

Just now, What zit tooya said:

Once a person has initiated with you does that start a 5 minute timer? So let's say he kills you in Kavala and you respawn back in Kavala, he can still shoot you without text or saying anything because he still initiated less then 5 minutes ago or would he have to initiate again. Does it change initiating on cops vs civs.

Once you are initiated with a group and you die and respawn right next to them they have 5 minutes from when you die until the initation ends. Same rules apply to cops. Server rules are for EVERYONE, cop rules are only for cops

I'll be more specific just so I can be sure. Civ initiates with cop. Civ kills cop. Civ runs to HQ. Civ kills cop in HQ without initiating. Civ is still in the right to do so since it hasn't been 5 minutes yet. Correct? Ps. Civ is by himself not in a group

Correct

Is killing someone in your group/gang then kicking them allowed. With initiation or being in a red zone. 

Or 

kicking them then killing them

Killing someone in your group is not against Server rules. Killing someone in your group numerous times is not recommended and is looked at on a case-by-case basis... Long story short, killing them once is fine.... if you kill them then kick them you’re just considered a jerk at that point and not a rule-breaker.... kicking them then killing them however, you would be required to initiate with them since they are no longer in your group.... if in a red zone (illegal area) you can kill whomever you want as initiation rules do not apply in those situations

Under no circumstances can it be different?

Example, I get downed and taken in car... they turn around to fight more of my friends instead of going straight to the Court house... can I Log after 10min or does it change due to "active Fighting"

 

A player cannot be restrained for more than 10mins.

If a BH can't send you to jail in 10mins. Thats on them.

 

The only exception is if YOU roleplay with the cops to stay longer. IE you cant just drag out roleplay for 10mins then just log off to avoid a ticket. But if they stick you in a corner for 10mins and dont talk to you. By all means Alt f4

Let me explain a situation I was recently involved in and hopefully get a second opinion.

As a cop I witnessed a group that had recently been shooting at us, escorting (kidnapping) another civilian. As to taunt me for going after the kidnapped they left him by the window, a few seconds later they escorted him through the window so that he was outside of the house, and before they could bring him inside the house again I escorted him away.

I'm aware that it's considered exploiting to escort someone through a wall or through any solid object really, but in this instance he was outside of the building so no rules broken, right?

Escorting someone thru a wall is exploiting. If they were dumb enough to break the rules and still put themselves at a disadvantage its not your problem.

When you put people in restraints, they are your hostage and you can kill them anytime you want. When people have their hands up, you need to give a reason or RP with them to be able to kill them. So, them giving a reason like "I need to sacrifice you to the concrete jungle gods so that Altis can live on" is a good enough reason to kill them. You can even say things like "I have been killing people with a green shirt on, you have a green shirt so I am killing you".

Hey all, I'm new to the game, just got it on Steam summer sale a few days ago and I'm really enjoying some aspects of it and really hating some aspects. 

Here's a big issue I'm having. When cops are detaining you for investigation or arrest, they are supposed to identify themselves. I've read the rules, I know this. But when cops come up to me to detain me for investigation, I ask them to please show me a badge (I"m trying to be a bounty hunter, I show my badge when I'm telling people I'm a bounty hunter), the cops do not show their badges. They come tell me they are a cop, put my hands up, I ask to see a badge and they do not show one. They aren't wearing police uniforms, they aren't driving police cars, they're just out there looking like a terrorist like every other criminal out there, come over and tell you hands up they're a cop and they don't show a badge. 

How am I supposed to believe them? Criminals have done this to me and robbed me. I try to defend myself and end up getting a bounty and my damn bounty hunters licence taken away which is absolute BS. 

I needed to talk to a cop about a situation where I was in the cocaine fields, downed a guy after telling him I was a bounty hunter and I tried to get a bounty on him cause he's a criminal getting cocaine from the fields and loading it in his truck, and then the next thing I know I have a bounty from the guy calling me in. 

I needed to talk to a cop about it so I messaged the police asking to see one at the police station NW of Athira. I get there and this guy shows up looking like a criminal and I ask him if he's a cop, he doesn't respond. He doesn't have a badge showing. I ask him if he's a cop and he gets in the back of my truck. I ask him to get out, please get out, please out, and he does not. I get sick of the guy f-ing with me so I drive north and I tell him to GTFO or I'm driving it into the sea. I stopped and asked him again to please get out, asked him if he was a cop, he never responded, never identified himself as a cop, never showed a badge, (Salus the invisible) and so I drove the truck into the water thinking it would kill us both, because I thought the guy was going to rob and murder me, like ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE always does. 

So we both get up, I shoot him with my non lethal gun, he gets up and detains me and then tells me he's a cop and he's taking my firearms license and bounty hunter's license. I had to go to prison on some BS charge and then rebuy the bounty hunter's license which is really expensive. 

So what's the deal? When cops are detaining and arresting they HAVE to identify themselves as law enforcement, right? Them's the rules. So why don't they show their damn badge as EVIDENCE that they are a cop? Is that not a rule? How can one who is dressed like a terrorist say they're a cop and not show a badge and expect people to believe them when everyone in this damn game robs and murders you every single chance they get? 

I saw that previous question about red zones, I have a question. 

As a solo bounty hunter it's extremely hard to successfully claim your bounties in cities, because the guy you're going after has like three or four bad guy friends with him and you can't win a 1 v 4 match. So tactics, right? Strategy, right? Thinking, planning, right?

OK so I figure I'll get the hell away from the cities and go stake out a red zone. If I can catch a single guy out doing illegal shit by himself in a red zone far away from cities, he can't have his buddies take me out, I can get the upper hand and have success as a solo bounty hunter, which is extremely hard. So I try this and what happens? Cops F with me, yet again. They're like "you can't be here you have to leave" and they tell me "you can only go after the bounty that your phone tells you." 

If there's a guy running drugs he's a criminal, and criminals have bounties, so it stands to reason if I can ambush a guy in a drug processing plant he'll be a criminal with a bounty, so I can successfully get a bounty. 

So as a bounty hunter can't you get any bounty you can get, even if they're not on your phone? Can't you stake out a drug zone to catch criminals just like cops can?
