Posted January 18, 2017 Was reading through the forums and came about a topic about the prospect of criminals having expensive items seized off of them by police, it then had me thinking how controlled are the police going to be? What's stopping them from taking say an AK-47 or a ton of drugs and either stashing them for himself or give to a buddy. Where will confiscated items go? Will there be a bin like system where they are destroyed or will there be a 'evidence room' type thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 There will be a system regarding corruption as it will be an official rule stating that you can not be corrupt as a cop or government official regarding the police force. However I am not sure that will work as there are always people being corrupt. Anyhow I am not sure about this "bin" system or other systems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are looking for information that isn't so to speak 'Out of our butts' then you won't find an awful lot. Check the official announcements for that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that on the official servers "You cannot be a corrupt cop" as I have asked and got the answer which was there will be a system in place to stop corruption.

How would you actually achieve that though, that seems impossible to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will ask the question again to refresh my memory aswell as I have a migraine right now which don't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 18, 2017 I think it's quite an easy mechanic to implement that one to avoid corrupt police. Opinion follows: Pretty much as JAMESLUCK01 said, removing your police status when commiting crime is enough. Not only that, you well might get a wanted status and, if I was to implement it, I would give a higher wanted status, since using your police status to make it easier for you to commit crime, that crime would be higher.

If I quote a person, I will give source. If you simply wanted a source (which you did and that is fine) I would have replied like I am doing now with this exact answer. I remember reading about it from one of the developers regarding this issue but they did not speak a lot about it. Whether it was on Twitter or here, I do not remember nor can I quote them as I am absolutely too lazy to find it. But I can assure you it has been said that the corruption will be an official law on official servers. However the philosophy of corruption will never be tainted nor fade away. So of course rules can be implied for that one person. I am sure you will receive a much more better quote or answer from someone whom is either willing to link you the source or either give you an answer as a staff member. I am also going to point out that this forum has not really developed any sense of humour so not really any point in trying that, either way I apologise for the late response.

Posted January 18, 2017 Now back on topic of the actual discussion at hand; I think the player will always find ways to be corrupt to a degree, whether its through mechanics or meta-gaming in general. BUT Hopefully the systems in place will prevent Cops from griefing or being too terrible to an extent. I am sure there will be ways to RP a corrupt officer though. I am curious about how that will work exactly, but I'm sure it will be subject to change even after release if something proves problematic. I intend to play as a (Mostly) Crime free Civ so it would be nice to know I'm not going to get arrested for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't recall saying it was a funny joke, not sure why you're trying to be so edgy here. NVM looking at your posts I'd say you just take things a bit too seriously, I understand guy it's okay.
