TOPIC: A rules clarification "when cops shoot"

A rules clarification "when cops shoot" 8 years 5 months ago #234834

With regards to cops.
I have been told by Admins in the past that I was only allowed t return fire.
They said that I needed to be shot at by a big gun to shoot back as I was
only allowed to arrest for the big gun being out. However when I was shot
for holding a big gun by a cop I was severely told off for certain things but
more importantly that he was allowed to shoot.

Separate thing but it may as well be in the same post If you are killed in the
spawn district and the fastest way out of that district is through your death
then are you allowed to go through the point of your death?

If you are attacked by police or feel threatened in anyway you can shoot them doesn't have to be a big gun and you CAN arrest for someone having a big gun
Spawn qs- yes or just go afk for 3 mins
When you are wanted and a cop is running towards you with a arrest baton then you can shoot him this goes for the tazer as well but if they have a stun stick or a gun just wait till they shoot at you

They should try and arrest you but if they feel threatened as in you turn around and there running to you with a arrest baton and there a reasonable distance away then maybe but they should always try and arrest you using the tazer if you shoot at them
Or if you give warning shoots then they can shoot you

Cops may open fire in 2 different scenarios:
  • The wanted person is firing on them
  • The wanted person poses a direct threat to another citizen's life in any way

The latter basically means, if they're shooting at any other cop, or person, it's ok to kill them. It's a logical conclusion to reach as a cop, your job is to protect the populace, so you need to kill the wanted person to defend them.

As for the second one,

I'd say it was allowed, since NLR applies to districts, but the kicker is you shouldn't interact with activities before your death, such as wanted people or bases.
