👮#13 Cop Fear & Police Rules

TrueNorth Roleplay emphasizes realistic, immersive police interactions. Officers must be respected and feared, and all engagements should maintain RP integrity.

🔹 Cop Fear & Engagement

• Meaningful Interaction Required: Lethal force against officers cannot occur without prior roleplay engagement or justification.

• Compliance at Gunpoint: Suspects must comply with officer commands unless involved in major crimes such as bank, store, jewelry, or house robberies.

• Outnumbering Police: If criminals outnumber officers at a scene, suspects may apply gun fear rules to officers as part of roleplay.

🚫 Cop Baiting

Cop baiting is strictly prohibited. Examples include:

• Committing crimes directly in front of officers with the intent to provoke a chase or confrontation.

• Taking hostages or displaying illegal items/weapons in view of officers to provoke a response.

• Leading police on chases to compounds or ambushes to outnumber or trap them.

Enforcement: Staff discretion is applied based on evidence, including video submissions via tickets.

⚖️ General Police Rules

• In Custody: Once handcuffed, suspects cannot transfer or hide items (e.g., empty pockets into vehicles or onto other players).

• Hostages: Taking an officer hostage is allowed. It is the officer’s responsibility to inquire about outside help or vehicles, but assistance can still be roleplayed even if officers fail to ask.

• Licenses: Officers may only remove licenses from living criminals. Dead bodies are off-limits.

• Dirty Cops:

  • Corruption is not tolerated.

  • Accepting bribes to reduce punishment or share info is not automatically dirty behavior.

  • Giving or selling PD weapons/items is strictly prohibited and may result in permanent bans.

• Water Chases: Use as a last resort and keep them brief.

• Prison Transports: Gun fear may be enacted against officers during prison transport scenarios to attempt freeing suspects for crimes.
