Topic: Less than lethal options
Short explanation (in notes):
- add other means of detainment/defence for officers of the law instead of just batons/firearms also creating a better roleplay scene
-
-
Detailed description (why should it become added/...):
things such as POSSIBLY CS Gas/Pepper Spray & Taser should be added in order to incapacitate a suspect who is either running or is in close proximity with a threat to yours or others life
here is an RP situation to help understand:
Officers at city hall called to an angry/potentially mentally unstable man armed with a knife.
they need to DETAIN (NOT KILL) due to his mental state and protection for his life, officers COULD deploy taser if reasoning isn't working and then cuff him.
how would I like to see them work and who should have them?
Taser - All LEO's (INC Traffic) - When a suspect is tasered (like a standard taser) you should only be able to burst 6 second charges at a time (for a maximum of 10, 6 second bursts) to keep the suspect down, when he is hit by the taser, any weapon he is holding in his hand is IMMEDIATELY dropped from his inventory allowing officers to cuff.
CS Gas/Pepper Spray - All LEO's (INC Traffic) - suspect is in close proximity with a weapon but it will take too long to deploy taser and your baton isn't effective as he has a knife? the CS gas/Pepper Spray should be able to be sprayed as a 1 burst cartridge (before having to go to pd armory and acquire more) but it will disorientate the suspects screen for 30 seconds making him have blurred/warped vision.
Cons (from my own opinion);
- Could be abused i.e. CS gas/pepper spray in raids as cops Could open a door and cs the room then the suspect is disorientated (which takes away from RP as raids, there should be cops armed with lethal and at least one armed with LTL)
- Taser could just be used for the "fun" and incapitate friends/other officers
-Both could just become over used and end up taking the rp out of situations where a different approach is needed i.e. guy armed with a gun and cop runs in with taser (no realism there)
