Be able to call Lester (Doesn't have to be specfically Lester) but the idea is that you can go to a payphone and buy away the amount of wanted stars you have. (Ofcourse not available as MW)

1 Star - 1k
2 Stars - 2.5k
3 Stars - 5k
4 Stars - 10k
5 Stars - 20k

I know there is /bribe and stars you can find across the map, but let's be honest if a cop is refusing your bribe and you can't find 5 stars at once your not really getting anywhere. Ofcourse the prices could be increased. Let me know your guys opinions!

That's another feature of gta online which used to get rid of stars by free or cash, So. Payphone exists for a reason, maybe possible or not, But we do have bribe Pickups which used for common, isn't that necessary? Also, once Calling Lester or some other character from the game though the Payphone which pays the cash and bribes the stars, even if cooldown would be added to avoid calling Lester - other characters thought payphones multiple times, for example, We called Lester (Other Character) and bribed the cops - stars, May I think this might not needed in future, idk what ppl thinks in their own way

Even as always, idk why everyone had *stroke and blah blah something etc* reading my words
It gets me  confused tho

It should be MUCH more expensive so that players still make use of /bribe. But then players won't use it much, making the effort scripting this wasted. I do like the idea, though.

Whilst we do have bribe pickups, there is a time limit between using them.

I'd support Lester being an option players can use to reduce WL by 1/2 stars for money (balanced: player will be stationary at payphone, giving a nearby $cop chance to apprehend them).

this

but also i do think the idea is good, payphones are pointless at the moment

It can be interesting... I will vote 3 stars, put a cooldown of 10 minutes and a possibility of failing and it should be good...

Yeah it definitely needs to be expensive, have limits, and perhaps even have a possibility of failure or something, idk. Otherwise it just makes things too easy.

I will probably just use the 'Stranger' character from the Work Contracts instead of 'Lester' though...

$20,000 to get rid of 5 stars is a great price. You get around $23,232 for a money bag plus the 5 stars from the bag, so...

To be able to call "Lester" you have to have no cops around you in a proximity of let's say 750m. Since we take a few seconds to cross 500 in game.

Or maybe consider using the story character Mike Toreno since in game he has "connections"

Make this with a chance of working, maybe 50% and you only gets your money deduce ONLY if it works.
