Players that mainly play as Criminals are abusing Cop duty when they get released from jail, as a cop I see these things alot.
They usually get free armor and immediately switch back to Civilian class. Not only that but let's say we arrest a group of people, the first guy who gets released from jail goes on cop duty and releases his friend(s) and immediately switches back to Civilian. That's unfair and kinda stupid.
You shouldn't be able to go on duty upon jail release. A 5 /10 min cooldown would be great to fight this kind of class abuse.
Credits: Thanks to Vectorman who abused this a lot and gave me an idea.
It's not really that ideal to prohibit going on duty as you're released from jail. Other people (warrants) surrender to LEOs to go on-duty afterwards, some log-in at the jail and may want to go on duty after.
If possible, just like weapons, armour should also stay within the class.
Regardarding the other issue, I think a restriction should be added prohibiting you the use of bribe cmd after being released from jail, this cooldown could range from 3-5 minutes (Where friends should've already been released by then)
I agree with the idea that you shouldn’t be able to go on duty as a cop if you recently committed a crime or were recently released from jail. I also think perhaps parole/bribe should be unavailable for the first 5 minutes of cop duty. I also agree with the main idea that there should be a cool down for when you can go on duty again.
As for armour, yeah I can make it part of the cops load out just like weapons now are.
