cop dm

hello all. I am enjoying being back on the server. there are some players who are abusing their cop powers and shooting players while yellow and orange. can you please:

add a text screen warning for players who shoot at innocents, yellows and oranges (while unarmed) that says something along the lines of: DO NOT ATTACK NON THREAT PLAYERS

can we please also add a demotion or punishment for players who do this. I am finding while being arrested or handcuffed there are people who will shoot you to death and deplete your armor and health. it is becoming unfair.

There is already a text that appears when you shoot an unarmed suspect. There isn't one for "non-threats" though and I don't think it'd be a good idea to block damage against nonthreats because there are certain situations that could be abused if this is implemented.
Eg: Non-threat keeps trying to ram a cop and the cop can't kill him because they haven't committed a "threat" crime yet (until they successfully ram the cop, which isn't something I'd enjoy)

For the punishment side: killing nonthreats is already punishable, and so is killing cuffed suspects, so if you witness either, make sure to report the rulebreakers involved.

Killing oranges should be allowed.

You're absolutely correct about this. Thank you.

When they have threatened you or someone else. I have had a lot of cops shoot at me maliciously while fleeing  or being handcuffed because they want to strip my armor. The issue I am having is that a lot of cop players do not seem to know when it is okay to shoot a suspect.

i mean it's already allowed but only when the suspect is threat (he did aim at someone or killed someone) you can check his crimes as a cop by /crimes "id".

I want to add to this by saying that a lot of the COP DM I have experienced happens on foot. I am fine with cops shooting my vehicle, it's when I am running away or they are in a vehicle that I usually get shot at or run over. Getting shot while cuffed is also a big issue. You shouldn't be able to damage cuffed players.
