Well the UNMC can go ahead and dislike it, they have the authority to do what they want in their territory. But things should not carry over simply because UNMC have no authority in Altis, and the APD has no authority in UNMC land. UNMC has threatened that if anyone from APD goes over to UNMC while on-duty, the officer in question will be banned (or maybe it was just an APD mandate, I heard this from a CSI, either way the effect is the same).
My curiousity is stemming from the fact that when we go off-duty as cops, we are nothing but targets. When we go On-duty, we are nothing but targets (bar the few higher ranking officers who can actually contend with the rebels as far as firepower goes). I know that even in the rebel side of things people who use the "easy" guns are called noobs because their guns take no skill to use, but the fact is that the police have no such options, they Have to use the 1 or 2 guns allowed to them, which often results in people with "easy" guns raping the shit out of people with shit guns.
Frankly, I'm getting tired of logging in as APD, having to deal with a shitload of trolls and griefers, or having to deal with rebels that are clearly better equipped than us. All rebels know by now that if they have someone watching the area from 800~ meters out, the cops can do fuck-all about the situation (except for those high ranking officers who can access the proper equipment).
I'd like to be able to do something other than get fucked, as I'm pretty sore and have been dealing with it because I thought that maybe it was just me... but it's pretty clear to me now that any group of rebels that realize the APD's armament constraints can get away with anything (assuming they aren't stupid anyhow).
If I could join a group of folk and perform "black-ops" extraduty missions in a foreign territory where my government has no (officially) idea that is going on, then that would enable a whole new venue for RP as a police officer (however off-duty we may be).
When I go off duty I've tried holding up my peach business, but quite frankly it's gotten boring as shit. Nobody ever buys my peaches (well, thanks to the 3 of you guys who have), and when there are only 4-5 cops online, there is nothing we can do RP wise because everyone else is doing illegal shit in groups and will destroy the few cops (specially considering that they will *Always* out-gun us). I can count the times where I've been in an RP situation with someone who's running drugs and Hasn't just opened fire on me in one hand... "because drugs are involved" apparently gives them the green-light to just shoot at us, even though the cops are Never able to say the same, considering we don't know drugs are involved until we RP it and search/find them.
It always results in a situation where the rebels tell us to leave or they'll kill us, in the end we have to ignore them and go chase after speeders and other non-sense like that (there is only so much traffic law enforcement RP a man can take).
Sorry for the rant... I'm still feeling a little sore from the recent trollfest, and every time I try to RP (recently anyhow), it's resulted in more grief. I would just like to level out the playing field, I feel like I've had one of my hands tied behind my back because I joined the APD, and It remains tied behind my back when I go off duty.
Again, sorry for the rant, Here's some consolation tits for making it this far:
P.S.
I would have posted this in the police forums, but apparently I don't have permission to go there so
