TOPIC: is it a rule break or no ?

okey so today
i was going to arreste some one then he dropped his big gun i pick it and went to arreste him then got killed is this a rule break or no
some of players are saying its allowed cuz you are cop if you are irl and you see a gun in the floor you pick it up
some of them say its like stealing gun and idk so what is it
i want a high rank staff like head admin or owner or cm so i can make sure
you can reply and say what do you think
PS : he was using the gun and he dropped it and pick it

I think picking up a gun from the floor is stealing unless he dropped it from his hands, just my openion tho

bump

I'm assuming you are talking about a special weapon. You are not allowed to confiscate special weapons from people. It would be considered corrupt to take it from him as it would be stealing and coercion.

shame on you

Hecking corrupt cop!!! Warn him!!

who cares if you play cop just arrest everyone

Please don't say bullshit, when i was about to drop it, a fucking fgt prop pushed me with the balls, so the jetgun was dropped, i saw you going to arrest me but when you saw my jetgun on the ground, and me far away from it, you just rushed on it.
Then, you stood still, typing something in the chat, and a French rdming gun dealer killed you.
You had to arrest me, no waiting i drop my shit, to take it and then arrest me, that was corruption, in a certain way.

That is incorrect. If someone is using an illegal weapon (not including police) it's your duty as a cop to arrest the criminal and take the threatening weapon. So until it is a used gun which they drop from their hand it is fine and the right thing to do. If he drops it from his inventory it's nothing illegal he has done and taking his property is stealing which you shouldn't do.

SkeletonWarrior wrote: We're obviously talking RP, so I'd argue that policemen themselves IRL never keep the other guy's weapon, these are usually delivered to a crime investigation department and kept for forensic tests; afterwards, the gun is saved on a warehouse, somewhere.
So in conclusion, it's perhaps RP to get it before the other guy does but afterwards you must remove it from your inventory, otherwise it's stealing.

SkeletonWarrior wrote: It's a weird situation now ain't it, hell, perhaps it shouldn't be allowed for police officers (in ssrp) to pick up weapons like that, the should just shoot them away, that would work out great instead of picking it up.

This was my line of thinking, Officers don't get to keep confiscated items, they turn them in to evidence. However after rethinking it Skeleton is correct in that we have no real way to enforce such a system.

Tony Lombardi wrote: I completely agree, wouldn't a better system be that it's considered stealing? Shooting a gun away in SSRP instead of picking it up makes sense in an RP way, as a police officers IRL do kick guns away (when trying to arrest somebody who has given up).
