* Cop baiting is not allowed. Do NOT intentionally try to get pulled over or chased
Using NPCs, like the shop clerk as a hostage is considered low effort. Find a hostage and provide that interaction for others.

* You may use the /me command to give the EMS/Doctor characters the right indicators. Example: “/me has no pulse.” leading towards “/me has died due to their injuries.”

* Chain robbing the jewelry store, convenience stores and banks is not tolerated. Chain robbing is defined by continually hitting the same location over a period of time while not attempting to engage role-playing with law enforcement

Criminal-LEO Interactions
* You may kidnap LEOs given there is reasonable RP
* You may not kidnap an LEO who is already actively RPing in a scenario you are not involved in

* You may not hold up cop at gunpoint to take their equipment without reason
* You are expected to be mindful of LEO presence. If you are aware that the active LEO presence is lacking, you should not take advantage of the fact
