Police Suggestion Car Tracker For Police

[ArrowEight]

Suggestion Title: Car Tracker For Police
Suggestion Description: Supercars are stolen constantly, and the police are rarely able to catch them, due to the insane speed they have. I believe an item and/or feature that makes a car trackable on the map app for officers 30 seconds after it is stolen would allow them to more reliably be able to predict where a vehicle is going, and would also require car thieves to be strategic about running from the police, instead of parking in an ally way or the forest until the heat blows over. This feature could be similar to how the PPS delivery system works, where a red dot is the stolen vehicle and viewable from officer’s phones. This feature could even be limited to just RTU to make it more specialized and even the playing field more for law enforcement and car thieves.

Why should this be added?:
- Officers would be able to predict and see the location of stolen vehicles for a limited time after being broken into, making it easier for them to catch car thieves.
- Car thieves would have to be more tactful in their escapes, evening the playing field for both parties.
- Would deter stealing cars for no reason.

What negatives could this have?:
- Car jacking is more difficult.
- Law enforcement would have to utilize their phones constantly, potentially a downside for some.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: This feature would make police officers have a higher chance of catching a car thieves, and level the playing field for police trying to cut off a stolen supercar.

what benefit would this actually have other than making chases easier for pd?

Hey, Arrow, hope you're doing good!

We already have GPS live tracking for the chop shop vehicles, that shows in real time on the map, where the vehicle is heading to, we just don't have it for owned vehicles, which creates roleplay for us to investigate and find out where the vehicle is.

I was unaware of this! Thank you for informing me, as I did not know.

No worries, glad to help!

I believe this would make chases easier for PD, but also make chases more engaging for the car thieves, as many cars people steal from other players are sport cars, which outpace the overwhelming majority of PD issued vehicles. I don’t think it would tip the scales in PD’s favor, but it would add an interesting dynamic to non chop shop car jackings, and would deter less experienced car thieves to steal other players cars.

I’m not saying it would show the location of the vehicle at all times, but for a set amount of time after the car is stolen just to make PD aware of it’s location for say 30 seconds.
