Today myself and 3 other PD members finally caught up with someone who we had been after for a while, his crimes adding up of course with a large fine. There was just one problem and that was the jail fine amount, the maximum level currently set is 10k which is very very low.
His crimes were already at 65k due to the crimes he had committed with the fines stacking up along with the time, this really is a let down because we put so much work into catching someone then as a punishment they loose what 3 paychecks worth of cash. I think that the limit for a fine should be like 100,000$ which in my eyes is fair, then with regards to the time we can imprison them its a maximum of 60 minutes which is also a very low time.
If we really want to punish the people we arrest the time should be able to go over 1 hour I'd say have the maximum time 10 hours. With the current system it holds the PD back as we cant really punish people for the crimes so there is no real deterrence.
Lastly is the crimes system its rubbish in simplistic terms, we have the commands /recordcrime ID Offense but we can only add a max of 6 to every person. Once they have been recorded for 6 different things then it wont let you add anymore at all, the problem with this is that the only way to then add a crime is to wipe their record. This then brings the problem of a criminal record check which would be clear for an OOC reason when it should really be recorded.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that the PD system we currently have needs to be scrapped and reformed totally as its not practical for us to use.
**Most of the active PD members have supported this and also suggested it!**
