MARCH 01, 2020:

• 3. Abuse of Furniture Items (House & Apartment Rules)

  [ADDITION] It is not allowed to create "deathmatch" interiors. This means narrow hallways just when you /enter that leaves the defender of the house at a huge advantage, for example when barricading against Law Enforcement Officers. If you are in doubt if what you've created is up-to-par with the standards, send the Head of Properties a forum PM with your house address and that you'd like to have it checked if it's alright.

MARCH 01, 2020:

• Legal Faction Rules

  [ADDITION] Processing of Inmates in Prison by the Police
  This rule clarifies what is expected by the LSPD and LSSD in relation to imprisoning people and collecting their mugshots/prints/DNA at SADCR's prison facility.

  • Police factions do not need to collect DNA, mugshots, or fingerprints when imprisoning someone at the SADCR's prison facility. This is to be NPC'd as collected by SADCR's staff or may be roleplayed by SADCR's staff if available and desired. SADCR's facility shall be treated as full service facility which means the SADCR facility and its staff would be required to collect the above.
  • The jailing procedure is to remain the same and can be NPC'd if desired by both parties.
