Criminal Activities

1. Vehicle Usage:

   • Starting Scene: Only one vehicle is allowed at the beginning of a criminal scene (e.g., bank robbery, store robbery).

   • During Chases: Additional vehicles may be used during a chase or to pick up a player during a foot chase.

2. Killing and Robbing:

   • Allowed: Killing and robbing are permitted for all players (excluding cops) if fully roleplayed.

   • Not Allowed: Robbing someone without a valid in-character reason is prohibited and will result in an immediate ban.

   Example Reasons to Rob Someone:

   • You have a conflict with them and want to steal their items to escalate the situation.

   • You engage in a shootout with them and rob them if they are killed.

   Example Reasons Not to Rob Someone:

   • “I have no money.” Simply having no money is not a valid reason to rob someone.

   • “I’m part of a gang.” Being in a gang does not justify random robberies without a proper roleplay reason.

3. Restrictions on EMS and Vehicles:

   • EMS: You cannot kill, rob, or take an on-duty EMS hostage unless they refuse to leave when instructed. If an EMS arrives to pick up dead officers and does not comply, you may kill them.

   • Emergency Vehicles: Stealing emergency service vehicles is allowed with valid roleplay reasoning.

   • Motorcycles: Can be used for criminal activities but must remain outside the building during the scene.

4. Hostage Rules:

   • Breaking Out: Hostages cannot be used to break out of jail or prison.

   • Custody: You may take someone in custody from a police car if the vehicle has been lockpicked or left unlocked and unattended.

5. Hostage Negotiations:

   • What You Can Trade a Hostage For:

     • Free passage (e.g., being able to drive away from the scene without interference).

     • No spike strips during the chase.

     • No speed enforcement vehicles during the chase.

     • No Air 1 surveillance during the chase.

6. Additional Rules:

   • Cooldown Between Scenes: There is a 1-hour cooldown for initiating new scenes involving police (e.g., you cannot rob a bank, then rob a store, and then get into a chase all within 30 minutes).

   • Criminal Activity Limits: You are allowed up to 4 people involved in any criminal activity, excluding Pacific.

   • Robbing Cops: Robbing cops in uniform is not allowed.

   • Hostages: You cannot use friends, co-workers, or gang members as hostages in criminal activities involving police response.

7. Bank Robberies:

   • Pacific Standard Job: Allows up to 6 people.

   • Fleeca and Paleto Jobs: Allow up to 4 people.

   • Store Robberies: Allow up to 2 people inside and 2 outside. A maximum of 4 people inside a single store robbery is not allowed.
