Your Steam Name: markovig9
Your Roleplay Name: Marko Big
Your SteamID: 76561198391313392

Why were you punished?: 3.4, 3.13, 1.6 | Ignored GP from another Officer and harvested drugs instead right in front of them. Refused to respond to the report despite multiple pings and clear activity throughout

Why should this appeal be considered?: Destruction, Not Harvesting: I was actively raiding a property. When the officer confronted me, I was not attempting to harvest the drugs for personal profit or financial gain. My sole intention was to destroy the contraband to ensure the raid's objective was completed, I did not pocket any of the drugs or attempt to flee the situation while under gunpoint.

Additional Information: I did see a message from the administration regarding this situation right before I left. However, I had an urgent real-life matter and had to log off immediately. I was completely unable to stay and respond to the report.

I want to assure the staff team that logging off was not an attempt to avoid a staff sit or show disrespect to the rules; it was purely due to unavoidable real-world timing

I do not have a YouTube clip or recording of the incident from my perspective, as I was not recording at the time. However, I kindly ask the reviewing staff to check the server logs for the specific timestamps of the raid, as the logs should reflect that no drugs were added to my inventory/picked up, and were instead destroyed

I believe the main reason why you were banned was that you harvested or destroyed (doesn't matter either way) drugs whilst under gunpoint of a Police Officer, I had issued several commands to put your hands up with my gun aimed at you (as you were raiding the property) and you had failed to comply, and you continued to harvest or destroy these drugs, so I had to unequip my gun and cuff you. Failing to comply with gunpoint would go under 3.4 so you would still have broken this rule even if you had not broken the rules you appealed for (3.13 and 1.6). Also to be honest, can't you wait out the 2 days instead of disputing it? It is a fairly short ban and at least it isn't like a week or even a month.
