HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY, IT'S MEEEEEEE

I am proposing a twofer.

First and foremost relates to chop shop. Chop shop should have different chopping locations away from the check-in location. Why? Well, that bring me to my next suggestion.

Prohibit, either by rule or SOP, the deliberate camping of T0 crime locations. This rule/SOP would not apply to an incidental presence, like an ongoing gunfight or some other crime that would require them to be sitting there as there's no other option. Police have been sitting at the chop shop location just waiting for people to roll in there instead of pursuing stolen vehicle calls and personally I don't think that should be happening. The location doesn't move, it's a stationary location, it's kind of lazy, and lame, for cops to just be sitting there waiting for people to check in and come back with a car. It's really weird to get a stolen vehicle call and just sit outside the chop spot because you some how know that it's probably going to be brought there to be broken down.

With different chopping locations scattered throughout the city it will make it more difficult to camp a chop location. With the implementation of a new rule or SOP, it will also serve to prevent the deliberate camping of those locations. Additionally, it might serve as an additional benefit to slow down the farming of chop shop if you're still forced to go back to the main chop shop building to check back in.

in my experience i think it just makes PD go harder until they get their point across or it's a good number of full blown PD wipes and not just a couple dudes in a cvpi.

cops camping stuff is dumb and it only causes more damage to the dynamic

if you camp it out people will completely stop going there, and while you've "solved the issue" of that crime you also have nothing to do now cause crims are gonna ignore that crim activity knowing they'll get caught as you're practically a sitting duck out there

respond to stolen vehicle calls or set up speed traps along the highway, 100x more interesting than sitting there and hoping someone rolls up

As a person who regularly chops I've only seen this once and it was one isolated incident almost a week ago which was never repeated again. I think cops don't have an interest in camping the spot and they have better things to do. Sounds boring af to camp that just for a chance to catch somebody, and then they need proof of stuff so

I do agree that there should be different chop locations. You'd sign up at the usual spot and then it'd prompt you to take the car to a variety of different scrapyards across the map.

Additionally I'd love it if you didn't have to invite people to your group after every job.

Would be cool if you could just stay signed up and it gives you a new job every couple of minutes after you finish instead of having to leave to get your money and run back to get the job and make the group again, rinse and repeat it gets a bit tedious, quality of life and all that

It's also happened a few times within the last 24-48 hrs, which is why I'm proposing these changes :( :( :(

yes pwease.

I like this too. The time could be a set amount of time, or a random time within an established range?

The group could last 1 hour and it refreshes the duration every time you complete a job. If you don't complete a chop in one hour then the group is dropped. How does that sound? I'd personally love to see something like this

I think the group could/should be persistent as long as you're signed into the activity. If there's no cap on the amount of people signed in then I don't think there should be a timer on it until the cap comes back if it's deemed necessary.

Cops should not be camping the locations at all.

Can this be expressly mentioned in the rules, because it is happening and people do tend to take and exploit the vagueness of some rules to justify behavior that, as we both agree, shouldn't be happening.

Thanks papito <3~

Get the F5 ID's of PD members that are camping the known spots, otherwise they can be moved.

Nah I don't think the cops camp the spot at all. They're setting speed traps on the highway which is different, just watch your speed

They're literally sitting right outside the chop shop and going into, and patrolling the chop shop. They're not sitting on the highway running speed traps.

I've been to the chop location many times and only have seen a car there once, but they were chasing a speeding car into there

I mean you're also one of the people circling one of the two chop spots in the chop yard. I think if Alex is AFK and you're eating you probably shouldn't be sitting right outside the check in spot of a t0 crime, it's very weird. Any other spot could have been chosen and it was the...chop shop?

Last time I saw cops at the chop was because of a shoot-out
