At limelight, 90% of criminals have access to military-grade weapons.
At limelight, 90% of citizens break laws on a regular basis.
At limelight, you need an assault rifle out the entire time, otherwise, you will get shot, hostaged or killed for performing entirely normal stuff.
At limelight, you need an assault rifle out the entire time, otherwise, people will simply not listen to you as there are no consequences but to wait a maximum of 15 minutes.
At limelight, the people do not care if they get killed or not, making shootings a normal occurrence every 2 minutes on a full server.
I highly doubt that one can compare real-life LEO procedures to a place like limelight nor are officers on LL to be blamed for their behavior most of the time.
Honestly I disagree with about 95% of this.
When I use my class, I use a glock and a less-lethal shotgun. I haven’t once been taken hostage, or anything like it. I understand this happens to some cops, but here are a few counterpoints.
Some situations require you to have a heavier weapon in your hand, sure. You have to be able to recognize the difference however. Otherwise, you are “that cop” who walks up to the window of your traffic stop with a rifle.
I have seen officers get held hostage. Want to know what all of them had in common? They thought they could handle the situation alone. It’s like, for whatever reason, people think backup is some sort of sign of weakness. For instance, you walking into the club by yourself, when you knew there were most people.
When I pull somebody over, I look for occupants. If the car had over one occupant, I’m calling a backup unit. If the driver is acting sketchy, backup unit.
People aren’t listing to you? Use force. If it breaks FearRP call staff.
Also, no. 90% of the citizens don’t break the law. Part of the reason I love this server is because there is so much opportunity for civilian Roleplay. I’ve seen shops, USPS, restaurants, amusement park rides, tow services, etc.
As for access to weapons, I’ve honestly seen a wide variety. Sure, some people have more powerful weapons, but I’ve also gone against pistols, knives, cars, bottles, etc. And as for going against higher grade weapons, glocks can honestly do the trick. Any weapon can, if you play it smart. If you rush in there, yeah, you’re gonna get killed. If you take cover, and make an actual action plan, chances are you will come out on top. Even if you’re killed as a cop, oh well. It’s gonna happen.
Finally, like I’ve said before, I don’t think that everybody in the server should memorize case law. My statement was simply pointing out how it would work in the real world, and what’s currently happening here. I did that to show the massive difference.
