2. Server Rules

2.0 Terms of Service
Follow the FiveM ToS and Community guidelines.

2.1 Permitted Vehicles
Civilians are permitted to drive any Civilian based vehicle within the City. Police should only drive vehicles that are from their garage and appropriate to their level.

2.2 Driving Standards
All officers are expected to drive in a legal and appropriate manner at all times unless responding to an emergency call. Officers are expected to show the correct manners of driving whilst driving including: stopping at traffic lights, slowing for junctions and not driving off-road. Civilians are not expected to maintain high driving standards although, their driving must fit their RP.

2.5 Pursuits [FTS]

Police Constables within ERT are permitted to engage in traffic stops and may chase a vehicle from a safe distance, should it make off from whilst requesting RTPC. Only RTPC officers are permitted to continue a pursuit.

2.6 Moderating on the server
Moderators are there to moderate the server. Players who are not moderators trained, should not be attempting to moderate for the server and may be punished for doing so. Under no circumstances should a non-mod follow other officers in order to gather evidence, attach their camera to another officer, discipline players on behalf of other moderators or take matters into their own hands. If there are no moderators available, one can be requested the appropriate ticket on Discord. It is encouraged for players to educate and help each other grow, but punishment falls exclusively to the role of moderator.

2.7 Radio and Communication
Radio communications should be kept professional. Players should not spam, shout, speak over others or make undesired sounds while using the radio. When on the scene, local speech should be used to communicate with others.

2.8 Spawning items
Players have the ability to spawn items such as traffic cones, barriers and various other civilian RP based props to aid in their day to day roleplay on the server. Placing them maliciously or placing them then disconnecting and failing to remove them is likely to result in punishment. You should also be considerate with your placement not to block any garages or public highways unless absolutely required at the time.

2.9 Removal of roles
We reserve the right to remove any role from any user without any reason, this includes role resets etc.

2.10 - Meta Gaming

You are not allowed to use information from discord or from playing other characters to your advantage (i.e. you cannot use your gang character to gain information on illegal activities to then use as police, you must have gained this information while playing as the correct character).

3. Roleplay Rules

3.1 Acceptable Roleplay
Always roleplay as your role. Although this is a game, and we are all here to have fun, a certain degree of professionalism is expected. You should, to the best of your ability, be acting as the role you are currently playing as (Police Constable, Civilian or Paramedic).

Any form of disruptive roleplay such as random and mass VDM or RDM is not tolerated. Please note these examples are not exhaustive and a Moderator's decision is final on what is classed as disruptive roleplay.

Don't force roleplay on people. This includes arresting other officers, purposefully involving people in scenes they do not wish to join, or creating major incidents that require a large officer attendance without good reason.

3.5 Fail Roleplay
Do not fail RP. A car crash from 30MPH to a standstill is likely to cause injury and will almost certainly deactivate your vehicle until it can be repaired. The Police equipment is heavy and means you will sink if you enter the water. You are not superman and can not survive massive falls and continue running. Try to always RP your injuries where appropriate.
