So you end up losing money not working in a job to earn money at all.
Thing is that cops dont lose shit when they die, except armour and myb small amount of cash which im not sure about.
On the other hand, if a criminal dies, he loses armour, weapons and 3 minutes of his life wasted for staying in a cell.
If you're planning to improve cops income, criminals should get something better as well don't you think?

I know what you mean and I believe that this is intentionally made this way so players would earn money as civilians and play cops for the fun of it.
If police job turns out to be more profitable for cops than being robbers, some players would constantly play cops and ruin the gameplay by overstacking the police forces.

I myself would go for bank robberies if I need to make some fast money even if the cops paychecks were actually increased, but it just feels useless to play as a cop now, the only reason you would play as a cop now is for fun or some score, and then you have to go off duty to gain some cash so you can continue playing as a cop.

Criminals do not pay 24/7 on stuff, they control and choose what to pay on and what to do, and their earnings are great enough for them to save millions, while playing as a cop is just where you keep losing money over time till you are zeroed as long as you play. The earnings you make are not even enough to cover like less than the quarter of what you pay on necessary equipment to do your job such as vehicle repairs and modifications used in pursuits, guns and ammo/armor used in fights and so on.
Yes and of the robber ends up 2 times in jail he loses 1000$ for hospital fees than he bribes at least 2-4k once he reach the evidence he can pay or rob the locker which means if he pays 8000k loses money again, and if his car is impounded or some newbie cop just sprayed his car no mather if he is civ or mw..guess what he lost money again. Then he gotta go to amunation buy wepa and armor thats an other 10k so which means if he ends up in jail he loses the money from bank rob so its kinda even with the cop job who can buy armor for 400$ and run straight to the next crim who if he arrest him he gets 1250$ bonus at least. If im wrong with this judge me but my opinion is that cops dont need paycheck increase

Cops have cheap weapons which they can buy through PD checkpoints, they have 2 types of cars (Police Ranger and the normal car), SWAT tank, unmarked premier, 2 pursuit sports cars, 1 pursuit bike, 1 normal bike, Rustler, seasparrow, Police Maverick and Predator, all are free for them. what else do cops need lol.
