Federal Reformation

[Fitz]

-1, Law enforcement already has many checks in place, which are simply under-utilized. While raising the hiring standards may be a good idea, there already is legislation to deal with the "gun carrying issue". Perhaps a weapon limit may be introduced as well by pendred. Besides this however, I find much of this complaint to be complete nonsense. This server is MAFIARP. Exactly 0% of the population has never broken a law on the server, or acted like the law has signifigant reprecussions for hiring, future employment, getting a mortgage etc. asides from a PK. Even if we require OOC evidence of each and every arrest for probable cause (which would spiral into an INSANE amount involvement on the part of staff (every single time someone would demand video to see probable cause, creating thousands of unecessary tickets which are already somewhat dismissed due to most of them being bs)) the us vs. them mentality that is a fact of life on mafiaRP would continue. Unless citizenRP is actually engaging, has concrete rewards, and there is a pathway to have fun legally on the server that is enticing, I fail to see why this would need to be implemented in its entirety.

-1 I agree with Cajun entirely, the idea of having OOC evidence to prove to a staff member that its a valid arrest is very stupid. The reason being that being corrupt in the PD is not against the rules, you do not need staff approval for being a corrupt unless you are planning to plant evidence on someone for any reason. You are legit suggesting to make the server into like a Star Wars RP server where you get arrested then you call staff because of "false arrest". This will waste time of staff, as majority of arrests are done by non corrupt officers and will just lead to the staff sit going into the favor of the NYPD's side it would be a waste of time for the officer and the staff member. If you are falsely arrested then go ask for a supervisor or make an IA report. If you are truly falsely arrested and you were charged without any evidence or you just took the plea deal when the officer did not have any evidence because you were sitting in the cell for an hour then you can go to the Courts and they will remove that charge. You should also file a report to IA.

Putting it simply, the law enforcement is the most hated faction, debatably out of any, and the reason why is because they have the incredible power of PK, with little to no risk themselves. If they die, they do not lose anything, for they may simply go back to their armory, pick up new weapons, new ammo, and head out. However, for the hate they get, they ultimately end up becoming a faction that doesn't serve the people, nor care about the actual administration of justice, more so becomes a faction that is tired of the laws and regulations and thrives off of the idea of PKing people. There are law enforcement offers that relish it, and in fact, yell out in jubilation at the prospect of having murdered someone. In addition, it is very difficult to change law enforcement or even legal systems at that. In addition, with the changed firearm laws, the law enforcement has become the most terrifying faction. They walk through the streets with guns in hand. Shotguns at that. FBI sometimes even walk through the streets with Colt Commandos in their hands. They have now legal permissions for weapons such as RPK, as well as M249, which are incredibly costly and difficult for criminals to obtain, of which they may obtain casually any time they die through their armory. One may argue that the law enforcement needs these weapons because criminals have access to these weapons all the time. However, one must also acknowledge now that the law must also be balanced in the event that the law, or rather city council wishes to make more and more legal restrictions to increase the amount of crimes. There should be literally no reason why law enforcement have 200 round LMG, or 75 round RPK, or suppressed weapons. While I do not know all of the solutions to the problem, or perhaps even the full depths of the problems, all I know for a certain fact is that there are problems. If not just IC, then OOC. I am not saying all federal agents or law enforcement are corrupt or are PK hungry. I simply state that it is a prevalent problem when you hear law enforcement agents cheer at the prospect of PK. It's a miserable job being a fed, and I imagine that's why in part they feel entitled to make other people's lives miserable.

 And to mention above, this is an IC matter which can be handled by the City Government, about their guns and everything. And also mentioning the M249 is restricted to only the highest of situations, and is only granted use as a last resort only a group of 3 people can use it with requirements of what I listed. You also mention PK hungry which is a problem with their mindset and not all of us are like that, and then you stated that we don't care about the administration of justice which is highly incorrect from what I seen, however only from the corrupt officers that were in the PD and investigated then terminated from the PD by Internal Affairs or their superiors. This seems like a problem with the FBI not the police department, you don't see us walking around with M249s everywhere we go. The Colt Commandos are also restricted to certain group of officers, not all officers have them only the ones that have been trained to use them and are in the respected sub-units.  Not to mention you mention our arsenal however lets mention the fact when every time there is a war there are people on roofs with full automatic rifles and sometimes military grade machine guns.   
The problem is the FBI because IC'ly you can't really complain about them due to the fact they are unnamed and they don't identify only with a badge number not a First Name or Last Name. Plus they are not suppose to be easily corruptible or even corrupt at all, the fact is that the FBI High Command are hiring Agent Trainee's that have no brains at all. I swear to god that majority of the people I seen join the FBI they were a cop that didn't even go past officer or wasn't even in law enforcement for good amount of time, then you recruit them into a Federal Department? It just leads to unrealistic behavior from the FBI, which for majority of the time don't act professional or actually use their brain.

Alright so the fact that these are all flannigan plus 1's is a little sus lmao but yeah I can agree with some of this I heard there was legislation to bring down the fire arm capacity to the level of Civilians

Since the new fire arms laws were made to justify being able to lower law enforcements heavy arms since up until these laws were passed the biggest argument for PD having m249's was that you all had full kit colt commandos and legally cops couldn't do shit about it

One of the biggest issues with law enforcement is that there is no real rp inside of the force, while Mobs still cling to it through the use of ceremonys and a getting system police lack this

Honestly re introducing the application would help bring some more serious aspects into PD as well as enforcing more rp into the force, lest you risk getting discharged and needing to do the application again

Seriousness of rp within PD could fix it but quite frankly this is diverge not much you can expect until then cops will just be in killable waves of fighters who cycle into combat by sitting in a discord vc at all times and using it as an excuse to break nlr while if you shoot back and die you not only can't break nlr but will be PKed

 Introduction of the Application for the Police Academy, only lowered numbers of recruitment for the Police Department and it play a big part for that month where the PD was dead. The application doesn't stop minges or corrupt officers from joining the PD, I know this because I been Head Of The Academy for the NYPD for months and it just doesn't work. Same with just hiring people normally, it's more better and faster because the Field Training Officers are suppose to be showing them with visuals and walking them through scenarios and then actually go into the field and actively teach the cadet or probationary officer on real situations. However I feel that having a use of force training in the Training Procedure acceptable and I might add it myself to the Training Officer Guide.

  I do not know what you mean by this, elaborate when you can.
