Handsup!

Metropolitan Housing Authority SWAT? What purpose do they serve?

An R9 280 is amazing value. I don't think it's much different than the X version either.

Yes, great value, but don't forget you'll need a WiFi adapter, peripherals and a monitor, which will bring it up to about $520, maybe more. Still great deal, will max out GTA IV, just be careful as it doesn't like 2gb cards.

Not if you formatted it. Simple deleting maybe, but formats are a bit harder to reverse (to my knowledge)

I'm assuming that won't be the only fire truck?

I don't really shoot a lot of nature :/

You don't need to upgrade for EM4.

The 7850 is a mid range card, although part of older architecture, that card can handle Bioshock Infinite. I happen to have an APU too, and yeah, they're not as good as CPUs but I believe it is not a hardware problem if your FPS is low. I don't believe an FPS of more than 30/40 is achievable on EM4, too

OK. Thanks.

 

I think that USA are full of LE agencies, some of them are really crappy. At least is not that horrible as it was back in the 90's. However, some of the PDs are still corrupted. I heard a lot about it. One thing is absolutely unbelievable and that is that the USA gives the real policing powers to the local police. I am just kinda sceptical about locals. Small PDs are buying tanks, assault rifles and stuff that just doesn't belong to the police. This is why the USA have the army. Militarization of the police is not a good thing. 

 

Friends told me about some problems going on in local-state police related things. If someone here saw the movie Super Troopers, that's exactly it. I don't think the jurisdiction is so clear and truth is that the police agencies are often mistaken. In my opinion and judging from the Czech Republic and mostly any other EU police system - state police should be the highest. Yes sure, locals can help 'em with enforcing the law as its in the CR. However, local police is not authorized to enforce felonies, misdemeanors only. And I think it's the best system. It just sounds weird to me that local cops have actually bigger powers over the crimes than the state or even federal PD. 

By only enforcing misdemeanors surely you don't mean they don't investigate murders etc? Wouldn't that stretch the more federal of forces and state police thin? I think in rural areas a wide jurisdiction helps. I agree with you that some LEAs are a bit unorganised.

It's not too off topic, it is somewhat relevant. So as long as the topic stays civil, feel free to discuss it.

Yeah, go ahead guys, I'd love to see a discussion.

Handsup! - You've slightly simplified the jurisdiction of the CNC, they also have powers up to a certain distance (couple of miles?) outside their establishments and, whilst not included in either of the formal Mutual Aid agreements, they can provide mutual aid with negotiation. Due to the majority of their personnel being Authorised Firearms Officers, they are frequently desired elsewhere e.g. G8 Summit and Derrick Bird.

This is a really good thread though, I'd realised we'd moved on from the 70's - "If ya cross the county line, the Sherrif can't get ya!" but its interesting to see the differences

 

The OC-D

I did, as I was on my phone, sorry! The distance is 5km but of course they have powers when pursuing off limits. There is a piece of legislation, I think the Energy Act, that states if another Chief Constable, home office force or not, asks the CNC Chief for mutual aid they then automatically adopt that force's powers and jurisdiction. 

It is pretty cool to see how states vary their LEAs. Was really awesome to see that some coroners have police powers...

Woah, that's a big reply. Thanks for your time writing that out. :3

The link that theparanoid provided was actually pretty good too; I've now found that officers are basically still officers outside of their jurisdiction but it's called citizen's arrest

Thanks everyone for their answers, they really helped.

But say a LAPD officer was on vacation in New York: do they have ANY powers at all? It may help if I refer you to the Civil Nuclear Constabulary here in the UK, who have NO powers at all outside of nuclear power plants and escorts of nuclear material.

After much googling, I still can't find an answer.

Do:

City police

County Sheriffs

State police

etc

Have jurisdiction outside of their primary areas? Not as in that's where they should patrol, but do, for example, LAPD officers have powers of off-duty arrest outside of LA?

You'd think that the half taxi thing is a bit dangerous. Do you know if it has police markings on the back?

I have the problem with extinguishers being of insane volume.

It's very easy! Would you be okay with editing game files? If so:

Simply disable events related to specific departments (you can mix and match) in the freeplay parameters.

Well as I live in Manchester and work around the airport area am also often called into the airport I would love to see this finished and given a public release so we can all enjoy it or at least myself would become a mod I would gladly use daily

It seems dead, unfortunately :/

Whereabouts in Manchester do you live? My girlfriend lives there.

I agree, we do need more realistic Fire/Emergency Simulators about, if you do start this project then you have my support, good luck.

 

I think you have to have a vehicle license to show you won't do anything with the vehicles that the respective company don't want. Like many don't allow damage shown on their vehicles (Hence why you hardly ever have damage on Racing games). I do agree with Wildcats though that it is pretty much free advertising. 

They'd probably make more money suing you for using it without a license.

I believe he can only skin. Not to be rude but I really advise against doing this

IT'S PERFECT! I'M IN LOVE.

Looks great. Only a few more hours!

Feels silly to sleep only 2 and a half hours or so before release, but can't stay up any longer. Will play this like crazy tomorrow.

YEA. Staying up 'til 4:00 is gonna be fun...

Yah cant wait

Btw is it released Tuesday and or Wednesday

It'll be a Tuesday, Wednesday is Christmas Eve!

Will this be an addon?
