Limited Times for Earning a Police Badge

I want to hear some more thoughts on this. I feel as though cops are something that need more rules... There's too many accidents and problems caused with them lately, such as respawning near suspects.

not all of the ramming incidents regarding cops are the cops fault, many a time Ive hit the back of a truck because truckers will suddenly jam on their brakes. even on duel lane roads with truck on one side me on the other Ive issued a ticket or weight check they trucker jams on the brakes and pulls over to my side causing me to hit them and i get the blame. even when simply overtaking a trucker in a perfectly safe manner with sirens blaring the truck will aim for me but causing them to ditch in the water or crash and yet again accuse me of ramming.

Deejayy, 2 things:
1: you hitting the back of a truck is not a valid ram, thats far from the point i'm getting at. There's quite a few cops that will drive in to people head on for their fines.
2: as for passing a trucker, ever think that you aren't as far ahead of them as you think you are? This falls into the case of latency. Because of not considering server latency, it's technically the cops fault. When a cop passes a trucker, they shouldn't just cut them off in the first place. You should be considering the room your giving the trucker to over take them and if your on the LV to WC bridge, you should be watching for oncoming traffic too. I know I've had some real close calls with cops and accidents because they're "safely" passing me.

Bottom line: There needs to be some stricter rules on the cops. There's many cops that shouldn't have their badge because of breaking the rules, and many shouldn't have the ability to get it again because they still continue to break the rules because they simply don't care (another word for this is a noob... something this server has too many of).

And if I may add, I would enjoy seeing some action taken against the cops that respawn where the suspect is... but thats another concept.

im talking about over taking on a dual carriageway even when they have a low ping they have no need to change lanes suddenly just when i happen to be beside them even if im almost on the grass myself ive seen trucker ram me just for being a cop.

though i do agree there are some really bad cops on this server but there are also just as many if not more bad truckers that don't get banned.

Look, I've been playing this game for quite a while now. After what i've seen, most truckers will only go after a cop for 2 reasons: 1) they've been provoked, 2) the trucker is irritated by the cops because of certain things they are doing such as cutting them off or ramming in some way or another. So whether a cop that did something to them or not is near them, they'll hit them simply because they don't want the cop near them. This mainly happens at a time when there's many people.

Sure there are many truckers that will go after a cop. But you can't tell me that most of these new cops, and even some experienced cops don't trigger these problems. Most of the times when a cop is hit by a trucker, they're only hit because or retaliation, or because of fustration because of what some other cops have done to him in that day.
