Being a criminal in the game is more worth it than being a cop
thats why cops are so low on the game.
the cop job is hard and the rules makes its very dificult, suspects often flee away because you cant shoot them or because tazer dont hit far, or kill you easily because you dont have autorization to shoot them.
but thats not the problem, the cop job is very well made and the realism is very well aplyed in the system, the problem is only on the balancing .
Being a cop have almost no reward, you catch criminals who can leave and kill you soon as you put them in jail
the criminals can rob everything they want, get caught, wait for leaving and still be in advantage, since they lose almost nothing being in jail. Making all the hard work to caught them fells useless.
You can balance this to make more people want to be a cop by making being a criminal more dificult or being a cop more easy, Highing the loses on being caught by losing the robbed money you havent deposited when you get jailed and highing the time of being in jail to 5 minutes( easy change i imagine). Another sugesttion is making the cops won more when they get a money bag of the bank back and giving them new effective powers, like auto arresting when getting a criminal of a car, that is a single player feature by the way.
its critical that this get changed or in some moment no one will want to be a cop anymore, and the game will lose the main factor that holds the working of the server.
