Police Information
This thread will cover most concerns relating to police work from an in-character and out-of-character standpoint. Make sure to read this if you have interacted with the police force as a citizen, as it will help you understand how to react to specific situations with them.
Custody Information
If you have been put under police custody, please note that there's a list of rules and points that must be taken into account in order to make roleplay as smooth as possible:
1. Once you are sent to the prison cells, all items in your character's possession are taken from you and can be used by any officer from the department. (NOTE: Police will not usually take your items directly from you, in order to avoid losing items, unless it is what precisely incriminated you, such as a weapon, or a suspicious mask)
2. Once you are /jail'd all of your In-Character personal information is automatically stored in the KPD's database. This means police officers are allowed to tell if an individual has a fake I.D on them should they be detained/arrested. Therefore, police will know the following character information if they are arrested:
- 2.1. Full name
- 2.2. Phone Number
- 2.3. Actual age
- 2.4. Address
- * Police may raid your property if you are found to have weapons / if they possess a warrant given by a Judge
- ** Police may also raid your alternative account's properties if you are found to be using it to loophole the property raid procedure
3. Your bail will be based on the sentence you have been arrested for.
- 3.1. You may not have your character bailed immediately after being arrested. You will need to wait out a specific bail time, which can range from 3 OOC Days to 5 OOC days, depending on your sentence.
- 3.2. You may not bail your own character out; you will need to get someone else to do it for you.
- 3.3. In some cases, your character won't be offered the possibility of being bailed out.
- * If you plead not guilty to your charges, you won't be able to bail your character out until a Judge has reviewed your case.
4. After being arrested, you will be given all the information related to your arrest, including your jail time, your bail time, and your bail, if any. Once police is done talking to you, you will be teleported out of the holding cells.
* If a considerable amount of time has passed and you are still stuck in jail, you will need to contact staff/officers to release you
5. Even if you are teleported out of your holding cell, this does not mean that you have been ICly released. If you have been arrested, you are expected to change characters before being released from your cell. You can always check the Arrest Spreadsheet to know if your character is under arrest or not.
* Your new character must not have any relations or interactions with any of your previously lost character. This means that you may not go to your property to take out weapons on your new character before it gets raided by police.
6. When taking part in interrogations, you are not allowed to discuss in LOOC. If you believe an officer/detective is breaking a rule (such as Meta-gaming), inform staff and proceed with the instructions the staff member provides you.
7. You may not communicate/send information OOCly to other players (e.g. Streaming your screen), in order to ask for advice when being interrogated.
8. Officers have the right to tell whether or not your character can be visited.
9. Police may confiscate your baseball bats or ballistic masks under specific circumstance(s):
- 9.1. If there are any unusual dents or blood on the bat or mask, officers may detain your character and confiscate their mask
- 9.2. If your character has a criminal record with at least one felony charge, officers may seize your character's mask and fine them.
- 9.3. If police has arrested your character for a felony or for an assault charge, they may seize your mask.
Additional Information
The following information describes other miscellaneous points related to police interactions and CombatRP. Do note, however, that when it comes to arrest permissions, you will only gain these on the arresting officer (the character that placed the cuffs on your wrists).
10. Depending on your arrest, the permissions that you gain on the officer that has arrested you will be the following:
- 10.1. If you have been arrested for a misdemeanour (minor offense), it results in minor assault permissions on the arresting officer.
- 10.2. If you have been arrested for a felony (major offense), it results in major assault permissions on the arresting officer.
- 10.3. If you have been arrested for life (with or without bail), it results in kill permissions on the arresting officer.
11. If an officer has detained you, you will not gain any permissions on them unless you physically retaliate.
12. You are not allowed to bait police officers out of the station by acting recklessly (putting on a mask, drinking alcohol, or intentionally beeping and running off in front of a police officer).
- 12.1. You may only try to lure police officers via "bait calls" to the emergency hotline.
