COP GUIDE!

Being a Cop is quite easy you just need to learn these rules.

First rule, do not kill people who are white (as in white name, white on the radar). White people are innocent and similiar to PB you can't punish them until they do something wrong.

People in yellow have to pay tickets for minor offences. If someone commits a minor offence near a police man then they will turn yellow whilst when away from any cops their offence will not be known of.

To request that these people pay a ticket you press "2" inside your car or "Middle Mouse Button" on foot when in range and looking at them. They may then pay their ticket or they may refuse to pay. If they refuse to pay for long enough they will turn orange. Until someone turns orange you CANNOT kill them or you will lose a rank and if you do it constantly face a ban or something. You can wreck their car and make them lose health although you just can't kill them.

When someone turns orange, which they may do from not paying a ticket or commiting a serious offence e.g. murder then you get into arresting or killing. You have the right to kill but I suggest arresting as a priority as killing can sometimes not give you the money bonus an arrest would. To arrest the suspect must be out of his vechile and on foot, but you can arrest them from your car with "2" or on foot with "middle mouse button". In most cases orange suspects will be in a car fleeing the cops as being in an area with no cops will lower your wanted level over time. Generally you want to wreck their car which is easiest with a MAC-10 or MP5 as you can shoot these out of your car although it is a lot harder as the driver as you can only shoot to the direct left or right.

By collecting tickets and arresting people you gain rank which can be checked by typing "/i". Rank is useful for getting better refills from the police station and some other benefits such as bribes. I think you need to be atleast rank 3 to accept bribes (which lower an orange persons wanted level and they pay you) although accepting more than one in too little a time will decrease your rank. As you increase your rank you may refill your health, armour and weapons at the police station by typing "/refill". At first you can get a nightstick and health but eventually you can get MP5's, Snipers, Auto Shotties......and they are all free but you can only refill every so often.

Vechile wise it is best to use the smaller cop cars rather than the 4x4 cop cars as the 4x4 ones are too slow to allow you to chase suspects in fast cars which generally is most of the time.
