But i love the rest!!

Thanks for the feedback! =)

This would not counter abuse, only reduce the number of people who can abuse it at any one time to 3, and people who have not been caught being a bad cop I the past.

The scope for abuse is my main concern with any MED idea in the past, and I haven't read a suggestion which guarantees little possibility for abuse yet. If you can think of a way without too much modification to insim, then you will have a winner.

That's where the 'State of emergency system could come into play, It would allow the MEDs to only use their rights when they have clearly stated that they are responding to an incident. It would require changes to the InSim, but they're not really huge changes, I doubt chuck would need help implementing them, but if he didn't want to implement a huge amount then I'd be willing to help out if he requested it.

The idea behind allowing only 3 MEDs at a time was to stop everyone from being a MED just to use sirens.

I think that the scope for abuse is small if handled properly, I'd be willing to set-up a MED training course in my free time if needed and it could be a very organized role on the server. I think there needs to be a certain amount of trust on the server, if people choose to abuse that trust then they can deal with the punishment same way as COPs do. I feel that it's very silly to not implement new features purely because of the fact that the minority might abuse them. =)
