Additional COP rule: They must use the Lightbar version of their car.

[Marty_Deslions]

Back in the day on TC without mods, there wasn't an option for a lightbar on your roof, so just flashing hazards and headlights would suffice. Just wear any police skin that complies with the TC skin regulations, and you're good to go. Not really realistic, but hey, those are the limitations of LFS at the time.

However, times have changed.
Now there are a ton of modded vehicles with a lightbar that can be used a police car. There are also tweak mods that uses the original LFS car, but with a lightbar. So you can still have your good old xrt or fz5 or whatever, but with a lightbar. Small difference, but it would really add to the realism of the city driving.

My suggestion is to make it a rule for cops to ONLY use the lightbar version of a vehicle, if available.

Think about it: In real life, like 99% of all cop cars have a lightbar on their roof (with the exception of unmarked police cars).

There is really no good reason of not using a lightbar as a cop, other than "the default car has my fav setup" and "I changed the default's car dashboard to black and I like that more".

I guess I get a lot of negative votes on this, because of your personal preference.
But forcing cops to use a lightbar really adds to the realism. Not only that, but it also adds to the recognizability of police cars.

It is time for TC to step up their game, and adjust the regulations to these "new" police car options.

Ps. The VCU shouldn't be required to use a lightbar, obviously.
