One thing that I dont quite understand

Some people kill cops without a valid reason - which is also against the rules.


I'd love for this to be clearer, like what the valid reason is.
Like is this a valid reason, me just passing by https://www.twitch.tv/videos/935196021?t=0h29m19s
or this one, notice how magda_gta is focused on me before i go after ticket, look on map he goes towards my direction at all times https://www.twitch.tv/videos/935272018?t=0h37m16s
this one, idk why he killed me here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/935272018?t=0h46m44s
is this valid reason - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/935272018?t=1h17m0s ?
Though there are some nice people like these two  😆 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/935228852?t=0h45m29s

Now dont get me wrong, I'm loving the server aside from some frustrating experiences, I'm just genuinely curious how stuff works here 🙂

It sort of depends to a degree on how you interpret the following :

Cop Hunting Rule:
killing a cop is not allowed, even if you are most wanted, unless that cop is chasing or attacking you. If a cop is RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU, you should not be attacking them Unless they recently attacked you.
- You may kill them if the oppose threat to you (kill, arrest, chase /etc)
- You may kill them if they are a group and one of them is attacking you
- You may kill them if they get very close to you
- You may kill them if they camp outside the bank or your house


In the first clip you drove an armoured SWAT tank into the middle of most wanted suspects and sat there.
I would say you weren't an active threat but a reasonable one - you could have fired that water-cannon at any time.
My personal view is that if you decide to approach a group of most wanted players that is the expected outcome if you're not fleeing. They likely assume any cops coming near-them are there to engage them lol.

Second clip they're clearly friends / in a group - you're trying to ticket him which is sufficient.
As for magda_gta it doesn't matter that they're innocent, teaming between civilians is allowed, and he was clearly trying to help his friend from the cop trying to taze him.

Third clip same as above - a group assisting each-other.

Fourth clip - you went into a bank that looked like it was in the process of being robbed by a large group of players.
A bit unnecessary to kill you but it is understandable given they don't know the situation outside / you are an immediate threat to them while they are felons / most wanted lol....
You can go to ATMs which are all over the place to deposit - no need to risk your life at the bank.

In all four cases you are a solo-cop dealing with a group - see my previous advice on groups for reference.  😎
Yeah I think you're right. Just takes a while getting used to it. Like you said it's completely different game with different ratio of cops:civs too I just noticed.
