What is [TC] - What it was and what should it be?

then you end up as seen before on tc with a full server of cops getting no income because the server is full of cops.
jobs is a much better way to earn money & teach people driving by speed limits. irl some cops have two jobs too
(everyone understands what a job is. but not everyone understands how to be a cop/tow/med etc).
so to me the best solution to teach people driving is using the job system.

but in general a bad idea for people like myself who is mostly doing long distances without doing much else. other than getting fined alot by,see above,many cops

in CLC we once tested in the same car(UF1) what is faster or get most income.
so Crystal took coin hunting and i drove distance. to our amazement we were done in about the same time frame. earned the same. got almost same bonus too.
in short it basically equal itself out.

that i would like to see in TC.

(to earn 10.000 you need a certain amount of time. this is where loads on jobs comes in. so to calculate how much time the vehicle and loads, needs to earn 10K. should be the same amount of time it takes to drive a distance to earn 10K.)
(Bonusses could vary but could also in the end of the stint,equal out as same)

this way no one will feel cheated on how they earn money it seems to me.

and they do say:
TIME IS MONEY right. this would actually make that statement totally true

on cop system. i seen many abuse it in the sense they keep fining the same person several times over and over.
a system to prevent this could be a cop can not chase same person after 3/5 times without chasing someone else or within 1 hour or 1 day . some agree to chase each other which should also be allowed. but i seen alot abuse this over the years.
maybe some other solution, i havent thought off yet. but i think its worth to mention. i see it mostly it seems to me, from people who either disagree, just wanna annoy,or dont own more than 3 cars,loosing money fast when they are not cops themselves.
and some of those get their cop rights taken from them later on. in some cases because of it. so to prevent this some sort of limit could be useful

EDIT:
in regard to all this, i think TC has developed posetive over the many years, and i even like the new rockingham layout.
i do think theres to many safety risks on some lyts though still you wouldnt be seing in real life because simply too dangerous for loss of life. but maybe new track editor can help on that part. i hope so.
