is from what i've heard back from the old days and not even necessary anymore.
IMO cops dont have any disadvantage from a suspect giving up that way. They still bust and they still can pick the fine.

Can we pls remove that line from the rules? Once again i had a totally useless discussion with a weird cop. i pitted like 1 second too early after i gave up my chase and stood still for 4 seconds, still he started a useless argument. and even after being told that he has no single disadvantage he refuses to answer "why" he even insists on it. just to be a smartass and to point fingers at someone.

so pls just remove that line so ppl are free to pit or spec in chases. thx.

There was an internal discussion about that topic very recently actually. The general consensus was to keep the rule in place.

Whilst this rule was more applicable in the older [TC] days, it still exists because the gameplay quality will decrease if people constantly pit or spec whilst they're being chased. For instance, some cops would be pretty annoyed if they're about to pull off a perfect box and the suspect instantly pits to avoid it. Yes, the suspect would be auto-busted but the cops would miss out on the satisfaction of properly busting a suspect. That would become a problem in a server which largely revolves around chases/cops n' robbers.

This particular rule is not strictly enforced and in your aforementioned case I doubt it would be enforced at all. People will moan about anything.

Obviously no one should ever disconnect during a chase (or before they've been fined) because the cop may want to choose the high fine.
