Since the shutdown of the FBI, cases have increased within the NYPD and the Bureau of Detectives have been handling cases. The reality is that the FBI has NEVER made a case to court, and when they attempted a lawsuit, they lost over 11 million dollars to a faction because their lawyers were absolutely trash. They were so bad the one of them didn't understand basic law and had his license revoked for signing his signature for the judge.
Bingus made a good point, there was rampant abuse within the FBI and the alts ruined it constantly. But the biggest problem with the FBI is that they brought in incompetent players who had NO basic understanding of law, paperwork, nor proper procedure. I know this because when I was DA, I was asked constantly to help them (also, they broke the server rules and meta gamed too).
The proof was in the pudding when the FBI got disbanded, they moved over to detectives, but the detectives were worse off and none of them could figure out how to do a basic plea deal... and some of those FBI guys were dishonorably discharged from the NYPD for meta gaming, bad quality of RP, and other IC reasons.
When you divide up the legal structure and try to "take people down" it ends up either A) hurting factions because no evidence was given for such an illegal move. B) Hurting NYPD resources as it pushed them to want to leave the force and go to the FBI. C) Wastes staff's time when trying to fix the FBI overall.
Hue was the former FBI leader, and after him it went down the drain poorly and every new leader either didn't know what to do or was incompetent.
Restarting it again with another "leadership structure" doesn't fix the problem, once a bad leader sets in, the system falls apart and hurts RP dramatically. The player base gets hurt from false warrants and the checks and balances are out of wack because they are "the FBI."
This is a no from me, and I hope the FBI never returns to Diverge.
