I just decided to write a compact guide for players who don't know how to behave when they interact with the LSPD/SASF/FBI. This guide is supposed to minimize the amount of reports that occur during interactions between players and the law enforcement. If you find this guide useless for you, please don't bother reading it.
Suggestions are always welcome.
Legend:
*LEO = Law Enforcement Officer
*Permit = Synonym for 'license'

- WHEN BEING CHECKED UPON -
When you encounter a LEO, you should try to cooperate. Since this is a roleplay server, act like how you would do in real life.
If a LEO orders you to spread arms and legs, because he wants to frisk you, you should comply. Don't go berzerk and shoot everyone around you. As long as you have a weapon permit, there's no reason to become hostile. If you don't have one, and still obtain a weapon illegally, deal with the consequences. I personally prefer people who roleplay along, and as a reward I often don't jail them for a ridiculously long time.
- WHEN CLOSE TO A SHOOTOUT -
It is obvious that you should avoid shootouts, that involve a lot of gunfire. However, some people still don't get it. If you're close to a shootout, you should find cover and
NOT look suspicious. Would you rather hide in the bushes, or behind a policecar? I personally would hide behind the police car. That way, they have clear visual on me and don't suspect me of being one of the shooters. There are a lot of player reports due to players that have been shot because they came too close. Bear in mind, hiding should be the last option. Please avoid shootouts, and take a detour instead or w/e.
- WHEN YOU'RE GETTING SHOT AT WRONGLY -
One of the main rules of the law enforcement, is that you'd use the same amount of force as you're met with. Therefore, we don't try to kill someone, just because he called us names. For example, when you're in a vehicle and your tires are popped. Don't immediately jump out and shoot/flee. Instead you could pull the car over, and freeze. We rarely try to kill suspects, but our main priority is to keep them alive.

- FAQ -
Q: If I hide behind a policecar, I'm very vulnerable to gunshots, right?
A: In my opinion, there's no reason to shoot someone who is /hiding behind a police car. The main idea is that the chances of you being shot are minimal if you don't look suspicious.
