time to answer questions again, i suppose.
If you have been convicted of any of these crimes above, you must wait 6 months to own any business (convenience stores, gas stations).
Leniency exists, we may be more lenient on certain charges when it comes to any non dealership business, time will tell, we're still trialling.
Why?:
- people who grind 30mil just to have a month old GBH charge, or get hit with one inevitably
- police who won't have anything interesting to do due to less 'interesting' crime
- criminals who grind money wont have a business to buy/spend on
- criminals who won't play or do anything interesting
- less things to buy/do in the city as a crim
- people who use the shop as a legal front
- people who already own a business
bringing this up "point by point"
> it needs to be with Intent, fight thee charge, if they can't prove you intended to do do so it won't stick, the difference can be minor to differentiate between without and with intent
> we still have about 91k other characters looking away from the 58 people that own places, obviously not all of these play, plus some are banned, so keep that in mind.
> they will
> seems like they lack a bit of creativity then, not everything has to be straight up illegal for it to be fun
> not really
> they're more than free to do so, some already do, look at Callaghans, hustlers and mara as examples, all have legal fronts(even if some if not all have been raided before)
> are still affected, you're not protected by anything a part from your own cleverness/discretness when it comes down to the fine lines
1- Intent needs to be proven, and it isn't as hard to prove intent GBH compared to attempted murder.
maybe not, but it's gonna be hard for police to prove you intended to do it, they can't read minds after all
2- In front of the police? Are you not taking into account cctv, dashcams, identification, voice, tattoos, bodycams, license plates and literally anything else?
CCTV Dashcams have some very strict guidelines behind them from the courts, identification is not always that simple, Tattoos can be copied, cars can be stolen, and Voices need more than just, well, voices to be usable by police, AKA, you need to fit the PNC picture, in your car, at your house(for example) for that to be usable
3- police have been informed about the new change, and like you said, its 58 people, this isn't a hard process, which would probably be looked at by someone similar to CID.
they don't know all 58 people.
Will this even affect you seeing as you own something already? Just not sure how far reaching this rule is.
yes.
to the rest of the people saying +1 to it, Hector has not included the whole thing, unsure if that is on purpose or not, but nonetheless
the indictable crimes will have a bigger effect if you intend to buy a dealership(or own one and get arrested for terrorism, and it sticks) compared to a normal gas station.
you'll get paid as we buy it back in these cases, so it's not like one night you're just gonna be missing a fuel station after 8pm with nothing said to you
6 months isn't too long, it's the same amount of time you have to fight those charges, get solicitors, and get them removed if they're incorrect charges. it's not impossible to get them removed, just takes time
on another note, people are rather quick to come to assumptions that this is bad, the initial announcement got posted by myself at 18:16(i'm a hour ahead) yesterday, as shown here
it's been about 17 hours give or take(upon me posting this message), give it more than that before screaming over all mountains that we quote on quote "keep bending over criminals and fucking them" when we both know that's not our intention
on a side note, that majority of the people already owning shops, that commented on it, were on the positive side, we had a few concerns here and there that was answered, and people appeared to have been satisified, mostly atleast
Please revert this admittedly terrible change, or, make the wait shorter.
no
