Harvey Dent PK Appeal - Fitz - 03-28-2022
Name of Character: Harvey Dent
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:563252564
Date of PK: 3/28/22
Reason for PK: Police Shootout
Why should you be unPK'd?:
■ Initiating a shootout or violent confrontation with Police can lead to a PK. Killing or attacking an Officer after initiating a violent confrontation leaves you PK active from officers for about 15 minutes. Generally we want people to not immediately go for the gun when dealing with Police, as a result if you escalate a situation to a shootout and lose you can be punished via PK as your character was killed. This does not apply if it is the Police that fired first or escalated to a shootout.
- This does not apply to players who hit officers with their fists (Unless they Murder them)
- This applies when a person shoots / stabs police for no reason or for a non valid reason (Traffic Ticket/insults/etc)
- This does not apply if the Officer initiates the gun fire or escalates the situation to violence.
- Officers may not execute suspects, they must make an effort to arrest a suspect and when possible render aid to a bleeding suspect.
-------------------------------- - In my case the officer in question did escalate the whole situation by drawing his gun after the officer break checked me, and ordered me out the car which seemed unnecessary and really a police officer would do in real life. Which lead to a pursuit where, they were actively saying to shoot me when I was only trying to flee them of being in fear of my life of being victim of such police misconduct. After I was shot dead you had the Sergeant going OOC'ly and yelling "thats a pk!" which just shows the officers being PK hungry which that whole situation was basically. "■ You may not bait someone into a PK. This means that starting a confrontation in order to escalate it then use that as a reason to PK someone, this is not permitted." I feel that this also goes under that guideline.
