This server has always been rife with those who disregard the rules of the road and general "good conduct" while driving. This allows [COP]s to in a faster way, remove these trouble makers who want nothing more than a quick run around the server before they don't realise that hey have just been banned for having -5000. This helps with potential trouble makers who shunt other vehicles, drift, ram constantly and while I am at it. I asked myself, how many of those players who reached -5000 would have gotten bored and started to ram ? Who knows. Maybe more than 60% ?


Static speed traps are a great idea and would be useful if they were placed near "accident" hot spots or coming up toward junctions since no one looks or even slows down for them half the time.

One idea I had was have some (like an Autobahn speed camera) speed cameras have to be activated by a [COP] with a short idle timer of say 10 minutes before it automatically stops and then has a half hour cool down before that same [COP] can re use it. They would get a percentage of the fine (depending on the fine for speeding depends on how much they get) hence the idle timer and cool down period.

It gets split between the top 3 voted [COP]s on the server ? It might help promote better [COP]ing outside of chases. Nice idea. +1

This sounds really good, even though (as a COP) I wouldn't like the percentage of the fines for me, as it would encourage people using the cameras as much as they can.
What I would like, is a new role, which is basically speedcameraman, qhich would make some extra profit from placing speedcameras somewhere, and wont be able to chase or participate in a chase. Just like the mobile CCTV or ANPR units.

Difference is, in Britain, if the speeding is considered minor then you'll get a £60 fine and 3 to 6 points on your licence. However, you have to pay that yourself, where as with speed traps on TC, you have no choice and the money just disappears. Therefore, I prefer the idea where speed camera lasers are sent to cops; at least then the suspect has the opportunity to pay the fine or run.

This sounds really good, just I think there should better be an option like a car gets flashed, a screen shows up saying "You've been speeding, pay the fine" and to buttons "OK" and "RUN", therefore a cop is ONLY notified when a person decides not to pay.

Adding to this, the license points sound like a nice additon
