Server Suggestion Print static speed camera messages to the console

[privateme]

Suggestion Title: Print static speed camera messages to the console
Suggestion Description: Currently, the messages that a static speed camera sends to officers are not displayed in the console. It would be useful if they did so you can easily copy licence plates and see messages that may have disappeared from the chat menu. I had an incident yesterday where I needed a licence plate of a car but due to a lot of messages being sent since, it wasn't in the chat menu and therefore I couldn't get it.

Why should this be added?:
- Can copy licence plates easily
- See speed camera messages from the past

What negatives could this have?:
Not sure

What problem would this suggestion solve?: N/A, QoL

I agree with this; short of having a log that you can view with photos of the camera’s view for the last 10 entries by pressing E on the camera itself this makes sense as most other chat elements are also logged in the console.

I've had a few incidents now where I lost the suspect's licence plate because of OOC spam (no hate to them) so +1

How about you have the last 3 entries show on your screen only when the RTU officer has
their speed camera out? That way it avoids visual clutter unless the officer is actively attempting to catch speeding, and you could clear it the same way you already do for the regular tag.

I mean, that'd work too, but wouldn't it be simpler just to let the text show in console? And you can't have your speeding camera out in a car, unless I misunderstood

You couldn't, but if it takes so long for you to act from in your car that the message is gone, the extra time that it takes for you to hop out and check the camera really isn't crazy either.

Consoles also can get very cluttered very quickly at high population (Quadruply so for staff members), and switching it to somewhere else that's already more in line with existing mechanics just feels better to me anyway

May I suggest a entry into the police computer? It is an easy log system, makes it available to more officers & is more user friendly. Of course, we need to let officers know it is only the car that is known to have speed, not the person you find driving.

I concur. Speed camera data being available as a separate tab would be nice. Otherwise all cops would have to be in the same unit to get the data.
