Question about massive Police VDM

[ZeinAlAbdoul]

[SIZE=medium](2.1) VDM - Vehicle Death Match Definition: Using your vehicle for running people over, using it to ram into other vehicles in and outside combat, or with intent to cause an explosion are all considered VDM here (Punishment is a ban)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]This is one of the first rules you encounter under general rules. Yet, the police seems to not care about it. I am fairly sure i am not the only one in this community that have witnessed people roleplaying as cops trying to ram/pit or whatever's in their mind to stop a moving vehicle. I've had officers driving into me from the back, the front the side and everywhere. Why are they allowed to break this rule continously? I see it everyday and i am not the only one i am sure. I've had officers exploding my cars, their own cars and even innocent cars as well. It's clear for everyone their main priority is to ruin your vehicle with a ram that they have no control over and can cause an explosion resulting in unneccesary deaths and such. I understand the police have to stop the criminals, but they don't have to win every roleplay situation they set aim for. So why can they keep doing this without anyone giving them atleast a warning?[/SIZE]

Not sure about the cop rules here, but typically you will find that there is a 'chase timer' from where after this timer is up the police can start using 'other' methods to get you to stop. Would be interesting to see if that's the case. Might explain some of this.

The 3 minute rules makes police able to shoot at your tires after 3 minutes of chasing with sirenes, not VDM'ing

I dont see that anywhere in the rules.

Can you quote me the rule please?

Rules clearly states. NO VDM.

There's a difference between shooting at tires, and running into vehicles. Never said you could VDM

Ah true. That's true. I've heard about the shooting rule after 3 minutes, but never any rules allowing VDM. Does this apply to civilians too or only the police force?

I thought I might intervene here, I have hit copious amounts of vehicles with my car by accident, and apologised after whilst also slowing down letting them get back up and going, its Arma and it's bound to happen when two speeding cars are heading 300 down a main road with around 1m worth of clearance. No police officer (well most) will on purposely break this rule, what might happen is three cars try to box you in where it is then YOUR fault if you do not slow down when they are slowing down in front of you (this does not count when they suddenly break stopping their car and then you hitting them, more of them slowing down slowly and you following.)

Brining this up as generally being the "the police" bare in mind that it isn't only police that this happens to, civilians chasing other civilians usually end up in accidentally hitting each other. It's bound to happen, and if the two cars hit each other during a high speed chase it's more of a road accident than VDM, you would be able to tell if someone was trying to VDM you.

Plus like I said, it's ArmA where one tap of a wooden stick can destroy all of an armoured vehicles tires and kill the driver.

*edit - VDM is a rule to everyone, cars hitting cars happens however cops cannot purposely use their cars to disable yours.

Well it Counts as VDM if you choose to run infront of a cars trail. So is it also if you choose to do so in a car, that's logical. Driving infront of somebody going 60/100/300 km/h is still VDM since you drive directly infront of his trail with the hopes of neutralising his car by the help of your own. Driving infront of people and expect them to brake is just a weird excuse to VDM. I've had police officers do this on me in all kinda speeds, also just driving directly into me.

Saying this is acceptable because this is arma is basicly the same as saying RDM is acceptable, since this is arma and people shoot people in arma. Police and other people do this with intentions of making you crash or hurt you, which is considered VDM.

I see the title seems very biased, but the only reason im adressing officers is because higher roleplay standard is kinda expected from them. + Police officers are usually the ones chasing people and doing this, you would be really silly to say they didnt do this because it is no secret to anyone this is happening on a daily basis. Police or not, no one should be allowed to do it.
