7.9.1 If the suspect is administratively sanctioned within 10 minutes of committing the offense, the officer is no longer obliged to communicate any details, as the offense is recent enough for the player to know what they did.

If it is proven that the paramedic abused the beacon to drive improperly, the officer is permitted to report them on the website.

8. Parking

8.1 Improper parking is considered when a player leaves their vehicle in the middle of the road for more than 5 seconds. If a player is instructed to pull over, the officer is obliged to guide them to park properly on the right side, where there is space and does not obstruct other traffic participants (e.g., on the sidewalk, on the right side of the highway, on the right side of the tunnel, etc.).

9.3 Before placing a radar in a specific area, you must ask 3 times on [/d], with a minimum of 10 seconds between each, if the area is clear. If the area is not within your city, you must request permission from a rank 4+ member from that city on [/d]. If you don't receive an answer, you may place the radar after 1 minute. If you are refused (with a valid reason), you must wait 5 minutes before making another request.

9.3.1 You are required to have evidence of the agreement received or, in its absence, with those 3 inquiries on [/d]. If you do not have it, you will be sanctioned with Faction Warn.

9.3.2 If a rank lower than 4 grants you the right to place a radar in another city, ignore it and continue to ask on [/d] until you accumulate 3 requests; otherwise, you risk being penalized as if you did not have evidence for the radar.

10.1 If you need to pull over a player who has a wanted level, you are obligated to use [/m], following the rules above (sanction: Faction Warn).

10.2 If a player WITHOUT a wanted level is a passenger in a vehicle and needs to be sanctioned for a misdemeanor, first pull over the driver, then, after they have stopped, instruct the passenger to exit. If they refuse to exit, grant them a wanted level for disobeying orders.

10.3 If a player without wanted is instructed to exit a vehicle and fails to comply, grant them Wanted 2 "Disobeying orders".

10.4 A person instructed to pull over by a police officer is required to park properly on the right side, otherwise, their license may be confiscated for improper parking.

11. Treating Civilians

11.1 Any player who is not part of a department is considered a civilian.

11.2 If a player remains motionless and unresponsive (AFK without an hourglass) when prompted to exit the vehicle, accept the license presentation request [/requestlicenses], pay a fine, or surrender, you must wait 30 seconds from the last prompt before proceeding with the appropriate sanction (sanction: Faction Warn).

Exceptions

If a player is in a vehicle parked correctly, not violating any rules, and is not moving (AFK without an hourglass), the officer does NOT have the right to prompt them to exit until the player moves again.
If a player who is not violating any rules remains motionless on the ground (e.g., is AFK without an hourglass at CNN), the officer is NOT allowed to request their licenses until the player moves again.

For both exceptions, if the officer has evidence that the player has recently moved or written in the chat and intentionally went AFK to avoid sanctioning, they can proceed normally while adhering to the main rule above.

11.3 Routine traffic checks (involving stopping players driving vehicles) are only conducted using department vehicles. If the officer is on foot at the time of conducting the check, implicitly at the time of issuing warnings, how the officer arrived there is irrelevant (sanction: Faction Warn).

11.4 If a player refuses to exit the vehicle for a routine check after being prompted at least 3 times, they will receive Wanted 2 for "Disobeying Orders". Furthermore, if the suspect exits when prompted to surrender, and after using [/frisk] you notice they are in possession of drugs, you have the right to give them Wanted 3 for drug possession (totaling Wanted 5). If they are handcuffed and you need to confiscate the drugs, you can use [/eject] and then [/confiscate] at the department garage.

12. Wanted Suspects

12.2 A police officer can arrest a suspect to whom they have given a wanted level, regardless of the level of wanted, provided they have the right to surrender.

12.4 A police officer with a rank lower than 4 has the obligation that when a suspect with a wanted level of 3+ comes and surrenders to them, to handcuff them [/cuff], then announce on [/d] the suspect's ID, wanted level, and approximate location. The suspect will be handed over to whoever requests it on [/d]. You can only arrest the suspect with the consent of those responsible for them. If nobody responds on the department chat after asking three times, you have the right to arrest the suspect.

12.5 Police officers are obligated to patrol only with department vehicles.

12.6 Police officers of rank 1-2 are obligated to make arrests only with department vehicles.

12.7 Suspects with the right to surrender lose their rights when they attack you at least 4 times with fists or shoot at you with at least 1 bullet.

12.8 If you are attacked or killed by a suspect, regardless of your location (Jail/HQ/Garage/Other area), the suspect will receive wanted level 3 - "Cop Attack", respectively wanted level 5 - "Cop Kill".

12.9 When a player has been caught by radar or any other offense that leads to the confiscation of their driver's license, and their license is not immediately confiscated but instead they receive a wanted level, they can receive [/eject] in the garage of a department to have their license confiscated before being arrested.
