I don't think its an issue to be honest. It opens alot more roleplay for underground vendors, realistically if you can't just look at the tab people are going to be asking around, using /advert seeking black market dealers. It adds alot more risk as well, you don't really know if you're going into a police sting or something so people should be more cautious and roleplay drug deals, etc. 

+support overall from me

With that in mind +support

-Support because goigle told me to

An idea would could be, for BMD/Drug dealers to have some way of checking if an undercover cop is an undercover cop. The undercover cop would wear a vier or something.

Ehhh not sure if we wana make it so you can just search for a wire and BOOM insta detect a cop.

Not necessary a wire, but something.

Maybe modify the PoliceDB into something for this?

Let all gov members access it, list all SS, PD, FD, and other Gov roles, list all passes, that kind of stuff?

I dono, even then nothing should be able to ID a police officer other than good information.

If you dont know their a cop, with a lack of job titles, color tags and what not, people cannot ID them properly by just looking at them, thus there is zero way to locate them unless you can gather some information on who is an officer via bribes, threats and what not.

I do see this in a good and a bad way. The good way is that there would be more BMD and Police sting RP, something I've been trying to do myself, beeing a BMD would be more risky in general (as should be) I'm just afraid that there will be too many sting operations and BMDs would spend most of their time in jail, either because the low crime rate in general (except car chases) 

Bribeging other officers and possible the cheif is a great idea but, not every officer is corrupt, but there should be an alternative atleast, keep in mind you have to advertise it somehow aswell

That's what I had in mind for a roster.
Mildly related but imo all government owned vehicles should be on the tracker too

I agree for store owners but imo badge # should be in your description as it's something physically on you. Same can be used for rank: "Sergeant Chevrons on arm" or something similar

I wouldn't mind that. maybe add a default description for all pieces of clothing that can be edited after being put on?

For identifying undercover officers, I think that is best done indirectly. Mostly through roleplay and good surveillance, but we can expand on this with some additional equipment and skill trees after MESKA is released (very soon now, hopefully - the bulk of the system is finished and we're testing/ironing out issues). For example, there could be an electronics engineering skill, one part of which would allow players to hijack government radio - lower skill levels would struggle to get anything, medium skill would get certain parts of phrases, and high skill levels could get a significant amount of communication as well as police IDs/transponders where possible. It could lead to really interesting RP where government realises they're compromised and have to speak very carefully.
