Summary: Wearing civilian clothes as "EC:PD | Armed Response Unit" (SWAT). There was nothing in their job titles that indicated that they were a part of any "Special Forces Unit", or "Undercover SWAT" (however that makes no sense). They basically were SWAT units going into raids with civilian clothes. This is very dangerous to themselves, because if an officer is say, clearing a building, their adrenaline is very high, and if they see a 'civilian' with an AR or G36, they will shoot, resulting in the injury or death of the Armed Response Unit. It would also be metagaming if the officer were to look at the job name of the Armed Response Unit and not shoot him.
When I confronted Sours about the issue, he ignored me. When I confronted ForceGhost, he quoted 1.11.

2.5 Do not do unrealistic things out of context (FailRP). This includes things such as anti-gravity bathtubs, unrealistic car colours, watermelon fights, etc. when there is no specific roleplay in which they would make sense (i.e. game shows or science roleplays). 
     This is very unrealistic. I may be wrong and please tell me if I am, but I have never seen a government SWAT team in a residential city wearing plain clothes. If this were real life. I would not send these "specialists" wearing a polo into a room with armed assailants in it.

9.1 Custom job titles must accurately state what character you intend to roleplay. 

vvv

9.6 You must roleplay your job accurately (i.e. do not pretend that you’re a special ops soldier as a citizen or chef). 
     The accused were roleplaying their actual job title correctly, however they were not wearing the attire that fits their actual job title.

Please try to keep all posts in here informative and beneficial to the investigation. If it doesn't assist in this report, please don't comment.

Why wouldn't the officers do a sting?

Why didn't you change your job name?

Why did you not change back to your proper attire at the 2 calls I witnessed you at after the motel (industrial and corleone)?

Of course you got it from European policing, thats why it doesn't make sense

So just because you did one Weapons sting means you can carry you big ass gun, side arm, ceramic vest, baton taser riot shield radar gun spike strip smoke grande concussion grenade lock pick keypad cracker handcuffs ram arrest baton and whatever else you may have one you in your pockets, because obviously you were not wearing a big vest that is DESIGNED to house all these items.

I can't holster or remove weapons that I spawn with. The best I can do is ensure they conform to the type of RP I am doing, the best that the gamemode will allow them too. I shouldn't be able to pop a car out of my ass but I can do that too.

If there is a plainclothes and ceramic model on the server I can use, feel free to let me know about that and I'll use it in the future. I'm sure you can understand that the limits the gamemode impose requires us to improvise for the RP we wish to do.

I'm not going to close this because people will call me bias....

But yeah I can't see anything wrong here

yeah, I don't expect this to be approved, mostly because of bias, but also because you people may not see it how I see it, but I mostly I just posted this to see the standing on this and if I will be able to wear a suit 24/7 as SWAT

Don't see a reason why this would not be allowed. I've set the models of the two players in questions, and they had a valid explanation as to why they wanted to do so. I see no issues with this, as long as it's properly communicated with the police to avoid certain situations. The amount of models on the server are limited.

In the future the players in question should proceed with caution when using non-standard models, and communicate this with the police force. However I do not see any rule infringements. Considering I was the staff member who originally set their models, I'll be denying this report.
However, I would like to note that in the future it might be smart for the accused players to make it clear to the police force what they are doing, and why they would be equipped with non-standard issue clothing, or low profile clothing.
